I was not an Indian or Tamil film music composer when I wrote symphony Valiant: Ilaiyaraaja Premium
The Hindu
Maestro Ilaiyaraaja discusses his upcoming symphony Valiant with The Hindu, highlighting his unique musical influences and collaboration with Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
With a little more than a month to go for the release of Valiant, the much-awaited symphony composed by Ilaiyaraaja, the maestro explains to The Hindu how he did not allow any of his identities — an Indian born and raised in a small village in Tamil Nadu, a prolific film composer whose music was suffused with western harmonies, and an admirer of the music of great composers — to influence his work. On March 8, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, which collaborated with Ilaiyaraaja, will mark the release with a live performance of Valiant.
