Apart from his mastery over story writing, direction, screenplay, dialogues, story telling, drawings, many more skills & personal traits , He will always be one of the greatest music composer this country has ever produced. A part time composer, "15 days of composer work in a year" will easily give the full timers a run for their money....What a Legend.
Great comment from Satyajit Ray about great musical instrument skill does not lead to great music director. Interestingly few days back I commented a song as bad song and my friend replied "do you see the range in the singer's voice ?". My response was "most skillful singer does not mean great song".
this is amazing !! have anyone spoke about music and its relation to movie making in such manner - may be some - but that is very few in numbers to the cluter we have - Ray lost much of his health suddenly 1988 onwards ...
look what a prophet saying, "ideally one should be able to do without music". Today, any movie with a international standard, has no background music...
@@AS-pk4by How many films of him was shown outside bengal? Was he widely shown and discussed in the same league of Antionioni or Fellini or Kurosowa? How much film appreciation is available for films outside Apu Triology?
@@arnablahiri7023 for your info Felini himself considered Ray as one of the best. You seem to have forgotten Jalshaghar which created waves around the globe. If he was underrated Academy wouldn't have conferred him with the Lifetime achievement award.
@@AS-pk4by Well you are right and similarly not getting my point. I asked, "was he widely shown and discussed in the same league of Fellini...?" I didn't ask, whether Fellini acknowledged him? A class director like Ray/Hitchcock, didn't require an Oscar for his validation. Truly, combining writing, directing and score he deserves at least 10 Oscars. Do you know an all time classic like "Apur Sansar" was rejected from oscars and didn't have a single nomination? He is hugely under-rated.
Cezanne Ahmed Your country of Bangladesh did not exist back then you see....he was born in Undivided India. Your country of Bangladesh is not something that he would have identified himself with.
Slight disagreement with this great filmmaker. Around 2:57 he said (paraphrasing) "unlike painting and book, movie exists in time i.e you have to finish start to end in order to appreciate". I agree about painting but not book. Book, especially novels, non-fictions have to read completely to comprehend. Not a big issue, probably a slip of tongue from him.
Extremely disappointing to hear his almost amateurish take on music.... "it is wrong to use pure classical music", "music doesn't tell a story"... "Beethovan is emotional but Bach is mathematical", "Indian music is only ornamental, not dynamic" "our rhythm is very simple, no tempo changes"... wish I had not seen this.
You could argue regardless though that his music and sounds fit his scenes and the telling of the story perfectly and that he does understand their importance and their usefulness.
I hope you are going to make a film with 'pure Indian classical music' as a background score..and going to write a new piece of music that can tell a story like...oh whatever you wish..by the way are you make film in another name? I didn't hear any director named parashuram. Seriously looking forward four your he movie. your 'professional' touch!!!
+Narayan Parasuram Perhaps you are not aware that Ray had no formal training in music. He taught himself how to read and write music and remains one of the best applicants of background music in Indian cinema. Yes, he is absolutely right. An Indian raga does NOT tell a story. It is meant to be a thematic structure based on specific moods. And Bach is clearly mathematical, even though beautiful. Understand what he is trying to say instead of making idiotic comments without any logic or argument. If you believe Ray was wrong, argue your point in a cogent way.
Great men never require validation.Could have been the the richest man with his skills.

I love the way he talks, very pleasing. Like listening to Sagan, lol.
Show respect to him when you talk about him he is senior and greater in all respect to you
@@Pinkxsunset yeah these soyboys get offended at anything these days
Brilliant analogies, way he depicts and provides his taken Western vs Hindustani Classical..!!
Still inspiring millions of minds around the world.Maharaja tomare selam.
have anyone thought of playing Beethoven or Sibalius in reverse order ? this is what extra odinary men can do - this what Ray The Master is
I'm kurdish and live in Germany. I talked to Indian friends and asked about S.R. they didn't know him. That really hit me hart

Brilliance personified. Startled.
Really don't know how many people can imagine playing Beethoven in reverse order 😶
He inspired directors like Martin Scorcese and Christopher Nolan among others. Is there anything more one needs to say? 🙂

May be the most underrated and underpaid genius in the cinematic history
Underpaid may be but not underrated at all. He was always respected and admired across generations.

He was brilliant a giant
The interviewer's questions could have done with subtitle only.
Satyajit Ray was born in Mosowa village, Pakundia thana of Kishoreganj district of our country Bangladesh...
What?....His family originated from bangladesh (Upendrokishore ray )but that doesn't make him a bangladeshi.He was a bangal not bangladeshi
