80 years old (Born on September 16, 1944)
Happy Birthday, Alexei Lubimov! May your day be as delightfully harmonious and timelessly elegant as the fortepiano melodies you've masterfully revived. Your fearless devotion to Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven once made Soviet officials scratch their heads—clearly they didn't know what they were missing!From captivating audiences worldwide with your brilliant harpsichord performances to championing Western composers despite political frowns—you've proven that great music transcends borders (and bureaucracies). Here's hoping this year brings you even more standing ovations—and fewer raised eyebrows from authorities. Keep striking those keys boldly; after all these years, you're still hitting all the right notes!
