Apart from marketing facts, i believe in Arr's secret dreams to make a mark
in mainstream hollywood movies. Only these concerts led him to perform in
hollywood bowl last year which no other indian composer bagged such credit.
There was a near chance & when we read news post HW bowl concert, those
producers talking about having an ARR concert for this year's Oscar Awards
though not happened but it was in news. I donno when will it happen but could
see a brighter perspective somewhere he is going to use his magic in HW movies
one day as main composer through his first step as co-composer in the golden
age- elizabeth now. His positive side is, observes, learn & uses world music
effortlessly, he is flexible & easily moves with all western
composers/musicians whether famous or unknown. With this kinda Arr's mind set,
body language & strong influence of world music, many westerners (musicians &
composers) understand his vast music skills, willing to work with him be it in
studios or stage concerts. With all hard efforts Arr is really a god blessed
person :-)

What do you think about ARR giving too many concerts in the recent
past(the number has increased substantially in the current decade)? Is it
restricting his creativity in any sense? The fact remains that a lot of time is
channelised for concerts in the form of rehearsals (a coupla months or more for
a concert). Apart from the obvious advantages of performing live (monetary and
reaching more people), would it be better if he dedicates more time composing
music than merely recreating his own scores on stage?
Whats your say?_.___
