Guys, It's a good culture to promote good music from anywhere and as some thing quite natural to us we ARR fans do support good music.
I did purchase a CD of this composition on the very first day and listened to it more than a couple of times. Its good and people who know some thing about WCM and Oratorio will enjoy. If they are good Tamil literature readers they can understand this album very well. When I talk in favor of this album here, I should also mention the dark side this album is being surrounded with. There is a big controversy and a blame game going on with the promotion and creation of the album and few figures also point towards IR. You can search internet for some of the details regarding this album. There is a big lesson we need to learn from the way this album was financed and produced. The lesson is if some one wants to produce an album, do it with your own money or with proper sponsors...DO NOT ASK FOR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION. Anyway...

Guys, See below. Thiruvasagam in Symphony is classic album and lets help spreading the word. "Right now what I can tell you is, for a project(Thiruvasagam in Symphony) in which we worked for three years, invested almost 1.5 crores - much of it through loans, and moved heaven and hell to make it a success, - what we have received from the distribution company - Welgate so far is only Rs. 5 lakhs. But for the sponsors we would be in a gravely serious crisis. So friends if you really care help us to sell some more CDs. Again Welgate was not our choice. Our choices were either Sony or Sarigama. Both were willing to release the album and the basics of the agreement had all been negotiated when IR insisted on Welgate. Personally I may feel betrayed, insulted or humiliated and continue to have sleepless nights about the huge remaining debts. That's OK. After all Thiruvasagam is a great project. We all made it a success. It has touched the souls of so many. Generations will relish this masterpiece. Above all, I believe we are all mature human beings and we should respect ourselves by transcending. I have transcended. Truth always has the capacity to speak for itself, in time and for ever." -Rev.
