A R Rahman and the London Philharmonic Orchestra - Roja - The Cry Of a Rose

[haribharadwaj1]

Beautiful, but does anyone else think that they had drained out the emotion and the feel that's required for this song? Don't get me wrong, these are incredible musicians, but there's something about a song composed in Indian scale and raag which makes it unique.. that soul was missing perhaps because of their western classical background.. imo..

Its the instrument version of the Tamil song in 'Roja' movie 'kaathal rojavae'

[varmman]

The one person that disliked this is deaf i guess

[trajendran86]

The ragam is kaapi. And this is actually a shit song in kaapi. In cine music only one song brought out kaapi in all its splendour. And that is sangathil padatha kavithai. This song has 7-8 versions. All of them blow your mind. And then there is this. Rahman is at best a good technician. I have never been able to understand this "Rahman is a genius" non sense. He is at best, above average.

@trajendran86 ok i respect your comment...so if ARR didn't do justice to kaapi raga and if he is not a genius.. why don't you do justice to kaapi raga and compose a song your self and prove yourself right? why hate people who has proved them selves in the world stage already.. is it coz of jealousy that you couldn't make it? give respect for the people who has worked hard to get to that position... nothing comes easily... he worked hard to get to this place... PROVE YOUR SELF.I'LL RESPECT U TOO
