Raakkamma - Prelude

Hi Folks ,
I have re-created the Prelude of Raakkamma Kaiya Thattu , composed & orchestrated by Ilaiyaraaja.
I played and recorded this in Cubase-SX4 using Virtual Guitar , Edirol Orchestral and EastWest Symphony Orchestra Strings VSTi plugins .I have not added the Rhythm .
Listen to the audio clip below and share your views .

Very nice work, Kumar. I would love to hear such creations of yours. I still like your ?Putham Pudhu Kaalai' arrangement.

Mahesh , Thanks.

Emjay , Thankyou !
It took me four hours to play and record this excellent Prelude using 16 tracks .I wonder how Ilaiyaraaja could write such a score in hardly 50 minutes !!!!

~~Sir,

Your work is awesome! Hats off!

Basically, Rakkamma kaiya is flamenco genre song, however, usage of stunning western classical elements like string orchestra and oboe changed de color of de song and stands beyond its time and henceforth.

Now, your work is clear evident of flamenco nuances in this song {smile}. Have a good one!

always

~~Raaja rules!!!
