It
was
a
memorable
moment
for
the
audience
in
New
Delhi
when
famous
German
Film
Orchestra
Babelsberg
took
to
stage
to
perform
on
classic
scores
by
music
maestro
AR
Rahman
from
films
like
'Bombay',
'Roja'
and
'Swades'.
Though,
Rahman
himself
didn't
perform,
the
crowd
went
crazy
and
welcomed
him
with
whistles
and
a
standing
ovation
as
he
got
on
the
stage
to
address
the
audience
last
night.
Talking
to
the
PTI,
AR
Rahman
said,
"Every
time
I
watch
them
(German
Film
Orchestra)
play
I
am
somewhere
else...
forgetting
that
it's
my
music..
Not
many
know
how
I
make
music..
I
lock
myself
in
the
studio
and
sit
alone
for
hours."
Rahman
added,
"I
am
really
excited
and
grateful
for
this
gesture
of
the
German
Film
Orchestra
Babelsberg
for
doing
this
tour
in
India
along
with
our
students
and
kids
from
the
K
M
Music
Conservatory.
I
am
sure
this
will
be
a
new
experience
to
Indian
score
lovers."
AR
Rahman
is
a
two
time
Academy
Award
winner
and
has
given
hits
in
films
like
Slumdog
Millionaire,
Taal,
Jodhaa
Akbar,
Rang
De
Basanti
and
the
recently
released
Rockstar.
He
also
gave
music
in
Danny
Boyle's
127
Hours.
The
concert
was
held
to
celebrate
the
completion
of
60
years
of
Indo-German
diplomatic
relations
under
the
collaborative
effort
of
'Germany
and
India
2011-2012:
Infinite
Opportunities'.
"As
a
musician,
I
have
had
the
opportunity
to
travel
to
many
countries
and
most
of
the
continents
on
this
planet.
The
music
that
we
played
formed
an
inherent
part
of
us.
I
was
enthralled
with
the
idea
of
the
German
Film
Orchestra
Babelsberg
interpreting
the
music
of
AR
Rahman
in
India.
Rahman
writes
not
just
the
sound
track
for
films,
he
composes
the
sound
track
for
an
entire
country
and
thus
describes
what
is
most
beautiful
and
precious
in
this
country
its
people," said
Klaus-Peter
Beyer,
director
of
the
German
Film
Orchestra
Babelsberg.
