  Excellent article!! What a dubious distinction for mottai! First Asian to score a symphony. (May be) the last Asian to release the first symphony!!!!
  By the time this guy releases his symphony, I think every other guy in the world would have released one symphony version!!!!
  He cannot escape anymore!! Either let him cut the CD or let him admit that he hadnt done anything of that sort!! You cannot fool all the people all the time!! I think our TamilNadu folks were just taken for a ride! A ride from Madras to London free of charge!! The issue is very simple! If the music that was created by him was to be HEARD, it should have been there by now!! I dont think there is anything to be heard in the form of symphony!! May be a bit of fusion stuff with his touch here and there?? Enuf of his spiritual excuses, celestial silence etc., Heard melodies are sweet! Those unheard are the sweetest!! I dont agree with this anymore!! Heard melodies are sweet and they are the sweetest too!!

  The article was excellent in all aspects .
  If this doesn't instigate IR then we may as well
  be certain that the symphony's demise is for real .
  IR certainly has lead us to indulge in much ado about nothing.
  But on the other hand ,the encomiums showered by John Scott leads to believe that it was not pure musical atrophy . If the performance was futile , I don't think the conductor would have spoken about it in glowing terms .
  So let us not get of on a vitriolic rant here on deciding whether its fusion , pure oriental or pure
  western .
  Be it garbage , Raja owes it to the world to release that and let us be the judge.
  Hitherto , there has been no public media outcry
  to release the symphony , this is the last straw .

  Hi folks,
  
  I was expecting an article like this.
  I am an ardent fan(crazy) of IR.
  
  I still remember after he composed the symphony I use to go the musical store and ask for the CD all the time.
  
  I got sick of this.
  
  I don't know what's the problem with IR in releasing the album.
  
  I am looking forward to see the album soon.
  
  I am very confident that It would be something of a real quality.
  
  Cheers swamy

  The article echoes the sentiments of diehard critics as well as those of his fans.I had run from pillar to post asking for Raja's symphony cassette.It is high time that Raja respects the sentiments of his fans. Raja Kaiya vecha..athu wrongA pOnathile..(Raja sir, wrongA pOyirum pOliruke

  Unforunately IR Symphony turned out to be a phony.
