Hi Siddharth and all,
I had dutifully dispatched this email to my brother,
husband, bhabhi- all for a good cause:) i got a
beautiful reply from my brother who is an even bigger
arr fan than me(in fact i am one thanks to him), so
much that i couldnt resist sharing it with so many
absolutely crazy rahmaniacs:). enjoy:)
he writes:
ok, I have signed the petition.
But there are basic flaws in the petition, which
should be rectified.
i) Mozart:
Mozart was ok, but not that great as to be compared
with ARR.
He followed only 1 style of music, and his real worth
could have been
known
quickly if we had asked him to fuse his music with
Indian folk,
classical,
tribal, or even other western styles.
ii) Mozart of Asia:
No one speaks of Mozart as Mozart of Europe, or Mozart
of Englishmen.
He is
supposedly considered to be universally great.
So, no logic for limiting ARR to Asia.
In fact, Mozart;s music has a very narrow bandwidth in
terms of style
and
cannot be said to be universal.
(end of his response)
cheers!
anuja.
hi grp,
If u fancy ARR as the Mozart of India,sign a
petition--about a
year old,that's making rounds again, to bring in as
many signtures to
persuade sponsors to make a doccumentary called
Rahman,The Mozart Of
Asia at
