To those who are ardent lovers of music there is a constant debate which
happens and this is about who among the two music composers is great.
We are talking about the duo of Ilaiyaraaja and A R Rahman. Though both
hail from Chennai, Ilaiyaraaja is called the legend while Rahman is
being called the new age music guru.
But fans of both music directors have their own loyalties. If a
comparison has to take place then some of the senior music analysts say
that the music of Ilaiyaraaja has a lot of depth and there are various
layers of music in each song. Due respect is given to the vocals and the
orchestration.
In the case of Rahman, there is good melody but then the depth is
lacking and the choice of instruments is more on the electronic and
technology side than the authentic musical instruments that Ilaiyaraaja
uses. That way, it is not just about his experience but the way
Ilaiyaraaja composes music which makes him better than Rahman.
