London: On the eve of India\u2019s 77th Independence Day, three-time Grammy Award winner Ricky Kej on Monday released a rendition of the country\u2019s National Anthem recorded with the largest orchestra ever at the iconic Abbey Road Studios in London.<\/p>\n
The recording of \u2018Jana Gana Mana\u2019 features a 100-piece British orchestra from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) and was recorded a few days ago in time for India\u2019s Independence Day on Tuesday. Kej and the Indian mission in London called on members of the diaspora to share the one-minute-long video as they mark the milestone.<\/p>\n
\u201cA few days ago, I conducted a 100-piece British orchestra, The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, to perform India\u2019s National Anthem at the legendary Abbey Road Studios, London,\u201d Kej tweeted.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the largest orchestra ever to record India\u2019s National Anthem, and it is spectacular! The \u2018Jaya He\u2019 at the end gave me goosebumps. Felt great as an Indian composer .. I am sharing this historic recording with every one of you this Independence Day \u2013 use it, share it, watch it, but with respect .. It is yours now. Jai Hind,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The RPO is recognised as the UK\u2019s \u201cmost in-demand\u201d orchestra, founded by Sir Thomas Beecham in 1946 \u2013 a year before India\u2019s independence. Its stated mission is to place orchestral music at the heart of contemporary society and, through collaboration with creative partners, foster deeper engagement with communities to ensure that live orchestral music is accessible to as inclusive and diverse an audience as possible.<\/p>\n
\u201cRicky Kej, three-time Grammy Award winner, always innovative, always at the cutting edge of doing something new in the world of music. This year, we congratulate and thank Ricky for putting together a unique project \u2013 celebrating India on its Independence Day with a recording and a performance of India\u2019s National Anthem with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London; the largest-ever orchestra to record the Indian National Anthem and put out as a tribute to India,\u201d said Vikram Doraiswami, the Indian High Commissioner to the UK.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
