Indian Carnatic in Western Classical Rendition

Cross cultural renditions of South Indian Classical / Carnatic and Western Classical are a rarity. In the 1980's composer and music writer Illayaraja experimented with it, though like the work of contemporary A. R. Rahman they depended heavily on synths. No doubt the cost of getting a full Western Classical ensemble easily dwarfs the small crews required to get a South Indian Classical gig going which is why this effort by Shweta Mohan and Navneeth Sundar is of note. The rendition of Chinnanchiru Kiliye as a Mother's Day tribute on Youtube is well worth a listen.

Kudos to Swetha Mohan and Navneeth Sundar who have promised that there is more to come.
