Recording with a 32-piece orchestra: Mannan Shaah

While electronic music is the name of the game these days, there are some music composers who prefer to record live orchestras for their songs. Mannan Shaah, who had earlier recorded with a 16-piece orchestra with The Chennai Strings for his song Tere Dil Mein from Commando 2, now plans to record a 32-piece troupe for his upcoming film Namastey England, as he feels the song requires that intensity which only a live symphony orchestra can create.

He reveals, “We’re also planning to record a 51-piece orchestra for one of my upcoming film scores. Performing with multiple musicians at the same time on the same podium is always a blessing.”
