L Subramaniam and Kavita Krishnamurthy record together after two decades

For the first time in over two decades, music maestro

L Subramaniam

and his wife, playback singer Kavita Krishnamurthy, recorded an album together at

London

’s

Abbey Road Studios

— regarded as the most prestigious recording studio in the world.

The symphony, titled Dutta Symphony, is composed and written by L Subramaniam as a tribute to HH Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji for his 75th birthday. It will be released during Swamiji’s birthday celebrations in May and premiered with an international orchestra.

The orchestral composition in three movements also features some of Swamiji’s bhajans that have been woven into L Subramaniam’s melodies. The piece is orchestral, using the music maestro’s concept of raga-based harmony.

The symphony was recorded along with 85 members of the

London Symphony Orchestra

(which is one of the top five orchestras in the world) and conducted by

Gavin Sutherland

and the London voices, who have sung the soundtrack for the Lord of The Rings and

Star Wars

movies.
