Thalapathi – Ilaiyaraaja (1991)
Album
Ilaiyaraaja's symphonic prowess reaches peak theatrical grandeur in this 1991 masterpiece. The sprawling orchestration of Rakkamma Kaiya Thattu collides a soaring European choir and frantic string counterpoint with thunderous folk dholak patterns, showcasing the maestro's peerless contrapuntal imagination.
