How a composition / song takes shape. Ilayaraja & Valli: "Kaatril varum geethame"

[shivaramshankar]

"varundhum uyirku oru marundhagam isai" Truly Ilayaraja's song does that!

[logiandme]

5 dislikes? I guess they are either deaf or aliens!

[AtulaSiriwardane]

Wish there was English Subtitles...

[jamesdhayalan]

the great two always

[djwaveace]

I've never seen so much obsession and expertise in handling Kalyani in ways one never thought was possible before!! THE RAAGA SCIENTIST!!!

[TEXUTUBE]

those 3 people who dislikes this video must be deaf or drab or yuvan :P

[22SANTHANAM]

TRULY DIVINE

ILAYARAJA AND VAALI great Legend

[sreevatsa1985]

@vjseelan Thanks so much for sharing this

[chensiruthai]

Mr.Ramesh,wat u said s 100% true,even i shed tears with d goose bumps.....wow,no words to praise our RAAGA DEVAN ISAI GNANI'S composing...nobody jst cnt even think abt composition like HIM.....

[petchiutube]

WOW...! Enna work ...!

[winniephy6]

simply superb.... we must be proud to live in the period of one living legend...:)

[ravivajjhala]

There is no music director who can compose like Illayaraja. Hats off Illayaraja. There is no poet who can compose the words for a tune like Vaali. You really see how a composition takes shape.

Please add more of such videos...

[surajcmr]

yeppa, ennavo pannuthu

[mohanbuvan]

Thanks for uploading do u have any more vaali speeches one of tamils best lyricist

[itsmycontact]

@nthameez- please remember that Valli is the lead Lyricist for Illaiyaraja songs and please do not spill your filthy thoughts here. Music has no barriers - language, caste and religion. Try to appreciate the two giants who has given us memorable songs.

[chensiruthai]

@itsmycontact,i need to say,nthameez is mentioning wat happened with ISAI GNANI's life.its true,but very few artists like vithaga kavingar,ulaga nayagan,etc all are exceptional case.....

[nthameez]

Brahmins used to discourage Illayaraja for his community. Today the same Vaali gives the lyrics for this Illayaraja. Classical songs have been proved ONLY by Illayaraja

[MahaSangram1990]

Thanks VJ... where do u gt these rare recordings... unbelievable... thank u...

[arixnet]

close your eyes and listen to this music in a noise cancelling earphones. Welcome to heaven.

[kuttus007in]

[robo754]

wow such a wonderful musician ,,,,composing style is very nice congratulation to both.

20 th CENTURY SPL IS MAESTRO ILAYARAJA.....THE NAME IS ENOUGH .....THE PEOPLE EASY TO KNOW THE QUALITY.......

[batchularin]

seems like the transition time is up and need to have songs like this back again! songs that you can enjoy forever and ever!

[addieroxrev09]

i want to see how they composed all those other golden songs like sundari kannal in dalapathi etc.... i can sit and listen forever...

[vidjay2001]

i was in a different world for those eight minutes.... divine feeling.... felt like touched the god's place

[kssgeetha]

Illayaraja is the best of the best of the best!!! Truly a born genius!!!!

[ramsb74]

En Thalaiva ... Enakku azhugai than varugiradhu.. un isayai swasikinren !!!

[baldeepak]

god of music ......ILLAYARAJA

[ckannan90]

Where did you get the clip from?

[abdulqym05]

Poem poem! two genius at work. pls do more songs like this. we are sick of listening to stuff like robo da.

[Yuvanraghav]

 wow a master piece on kalayani...love u raja sir...

[sx42007]

I wish katril varum geetame cud have been a full solo by Raja itself insteed of 10 singers :) He sang very well in this vedio. Delightful.

[yahooramji]

thank you for posting.

The great legends of music . the greatest assets of India

[TheChennailife]

first time im hearing about composing

[kishorebhatt2]

Excellent video. Thanks for uploading. If possible please upload some more composing sessions along with vaali sir. Vaali sir rocks.

[67xanax]

such a beautiful song.... bravo Raja Sar

[saiaussie]

experts at their best work!

[deara2k]

Instant lyrics? Probably one of the few lyricists who can write so quick yet very creative..

[arunshakthi]

With simplest music yet soul stirring magic.. hats off Ilayraja sir.. We owe you so much !!!

[harimanoj1]

No words...Just tears from my eyes...

[bsasikumar]

He is a legend.

[pavithra69]

i'm to be a tamilan !!! from ponducheru;)

[haribranavan1]

you touched my heart, thank you for posting this!

yuvi

[muruga6]

He can compose tunes within frames of a second and especially BGM's -- there no one in India -- I am daring at others who disagree with this.. !!!

Its a Sin if Illayaraja Sir is not given a

" Bharat Ratna "

in years to come to put him in list below :-

1) M. S. Subbulakshmi

2) Lata Mangeshkar

3) Bismillah Khan

4) Bhimsen Joshi

OOh God Take our lifes & give this man more years to live - to uplift Music & Tamil.

[pandavar]

What is this Oscar and Grammy Awards? These awards are there for the sole purpose of commerce.

It must be sanctioned by the big players in the cine music businesses.

Are you guys not tired of the synthentic phony music of Rahman. It wears off after listening a couple of times.

Good music like Raja's will reverberate for a long time.

[ananthu101]

@pandavar well said brother...how true...

[sriram88688]

another masterpiece from ilayaraja.... see the efforts he take on the pronounciations of letters... amazing... genious looks ordinary when you measure his talent... he is a legend...

[bugwaj]

2 Great Legends. No words to express. Vaali has seen atleast 6 or 7 generations of music directors and still he is very fresh with his words. He is definitely Vaaliba Kavignar Vaali. Ilayaraja too deserves better than what he has been honoured with.

[ramdasnc]

kaatril varum geethame....the soul of music...really great....

[hi52me]

4:14 simply amazing !!!

[itsmycontact]

What a mesmerizing tune.. especially the flute @ 4.28 .. and then on.. guys close your eyes in a dark room and just listen to this tune.. much better than 2 JW on the rocks..lol

[ramamresh]

Fantastic, Feels like crying after hearing this.

Every tamilian should be proud of having such great artists.

Thanks for sharing!!!

[ananthu1996]

I am very proud of him,but I am nit a Tamilian. The producer director of the movie "Oru Naal Oru Kanavu" Fazil is a Malayali and Ilayaraja has given excellent music in many a Malayalam move. Be an Indian not just a narrow minded Tamilian

[Tholkaapi]

Well Said..I m Tamilian...I m proud of that too. But being Indian makes me feel much better.

[ananthu1996]

Thank you

[Angelena08ku]

@ananthu1996 Don't say narrow minded Tamilian. In that case your "Malayali" Fazil will not be a director in Tamilnadu. In this site no one talks about Tamil, just said Ilayaraja and Vaali. You are the selfish guy who mentioned Malayali known as Kolaiyali you stupid.

[dawnofcent]

Tamil and music is mix of honey and chocolate

[netgenious]

So far, I thouth there was one genious called Ilayaraja, But now I m sure that there are more Genious in Tamil, like Genious Vaali....

I m proud to be a Tamilan.....

[see2saw]

wow....i hope i could be with them when they create every other song...

[sattish6267061]

Great...

Tamil industry is blessed...

[raunchy1978]

The two just hit it off so well....wish he could patch up with Vairamuthu...someday...sometim­e...

[sriram88688]

not necessary...Raja is beyond all this...vairamuthu suits to rahman , type music only which has more instruments and more westernised.... not giving much important to words and pronounciations.... do not mistake me.. i am not degrading rahman at all... his music is different ...

[THERaunchy1978]

It's interesting you pointed vairamuthu here...! As a matter of fact vairamuthu bad mouthed IR "ivar isaiyil en vaarthai kalukku moochu muttuginrathu". IR took umbrage at him. But Vairamuthu's words have even a worse treatment under ARR...! He even brought this up in a function to tone down ARR's music..ARR got pretty mad and swore not to work with Vairamuthu...Of course Vairamuthu didn't want to take another sabbatical for 6 yrs now...Hasn't this guy learnt his lessons from IR before?
