Positive talk on Rafi Resurrected
Sony telecast a Sonu Nigam concert in London (An Evening In London). The concert was a tribute to Mohammad Rafi, and Sonu sang — very well — many of the singer’s memorable numbers (as well as a few of the not-somemorable ones). But the really interesting part of the concert was that Sonu was accompanied — not by his musicians from Mumbai — but by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. I almost did a double take, seeing all the solemn-faced Brits industriously playing music for songs like Chaahe koi mujhe junglee kahe on their violins and cellos. It was also good to see a film event that wasn’t an award function crammed with dance performances. And Sonu did nothing more than just sing; there was no frenzied dancing or leaping around the stage in an attempt to pump up the energy levels.http://www.hindustantimes.com/StoryPage/StoryPage.aspx?sectionName=&id=5ac6d75b-b966-4407-90bb-278670730101&&Headline=Is+this+the+advent+of+a+new+soap+era%3f
A show called "Rafi Resurrected" - by Sonu Nigaam in front of a sold out Birmingham Symphony concert hall with a live orchestra was telecasted last Sunday on Sony TV. If ever there was a singer who idolised Rafi saab and could probably sing his songs with utmost ease it has to be Sonu Nigaam. A tremendous evening with one lilting tune after another was sung with the orchestra which was completely filled with people of British origin. Can't wait for the album to hit the market . Am sure to buy it !Youtube videos as always, provide the required snippets of the concert. Be it "Patthar ke sanam" or "yaad na jaaye" or "dil ke jharoke se" or "yahoo" , it was sung with perfection! If you haven't seen it and your a fan of old hindi songs, then definitely this is a must listen album!
