You guys are lucky to have attended this concert. Could you describe how well the music translates to an orchestral setting? Was there anything interesting happening w.r.t orchestration or was a lot of it a matter of transcribing the vocals to wind?
Is there a clip anywhere? ________________________________ From: Indmov Buff <[email protected]> To: A R <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, April 8, 2010 7:07:40 PM Subject: [arr] London Philharmonic Orchestra and Rahman (and spare program) I thoroughly enjoyed the night despite the initial disappointment of finding out that AR would not be performing, a few weeks back. It was unique and special and I was only seated 1 row away from the maestro himself! Azad Khan and Naveen Kumar were the surprise packages. They were magical. Truly. My pick was Roja, Taal (Nahi Samne - b.e.u.t.i.f.u.l), Couples retreat (Sajna was awesome!), Slumdog, Swades and Lord of the Rings (Lothlorien- wow!). Amazing stuff. Nihal's (BBC Asia Network) Q&A session could have fielded more relevant questions I felt, despite wanting to ask "unique" questions. But was a truly memorable night for me and for you I hope. Unfortunately it was too late when I found out that a program was on sale for £3. I contacted the Southbank centre for one on Thursday but they said they didn't have any. I was wondering if any of you have an extra program that I could buy off you? Would be eternally grateful if anyone is able to give me a program for the night- willing to pay what you ask for it! (Gopal, Vijay - any I could get off the production house? ) Pretty please? Thanks!
