Kovai speaks about A missed hero - "Zubin Mehta"


"Zubin Mehta performed in chennai music academy with his Bavarian orchestra"

Well...how many of u remember this name? i knew thisname since 95 when i was doing my Xth

Do u remember the UTV's "Shanthi" that was played inDD channels in 1995/96 ? If u're musically sensitiveyou would also remember the magical title score ofShanthi & the brilliant background scores for thatmega serial...that was very close to my heart for alonger time, "Zubin Mehta" read the Shanthi titleslides. I was wondering in that age as i never knewanything else about this name..nor in bollywood films,but that music was a perfect one from soul and couldhave been possible only by a genius.

That's all i knew about him all these days until i sawhis name figuring in newspapers during the christmasweek , came to know he is an NRI conducting orchestra's in the europe.

During his interviews to "The Hindu" he has mentionedhe never have heard of Rahman/illayaraaja...well"Rahman" is a name that bollywood celebrates andprojects as a "musical whizkid of india". I thinkIndia has missed a music director in Zubin ,his genius...if u really remember the Shanthi's titlescore you would atleast have a chance to appreciatethe genius in Zubin. We missed him.

Idhu en aadhangam.
