Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on February 24, 1972)

Happy Birthday, Arcadi Volodos! May your day be filled with as many dazzling notes and breathtaking cadenzas as your legendary arrangements. Your fingers have danced effortlessly across the keys, turning complex masterpieces into playful adventures—leaving audiences both amazed and slightly suspicious that you might secretly possess extra hands.

From conquering Rachmaninoff's formidable concertos to breathing new life into Liszt’s virtuosic passages, you've consistently proven there's no technical challenge too daunting for you. Here's wishing another year of brilliant performances, standing ovations—and perhaps a few more encores than planned (we know how much audiences love those). Cheers to continued musical magic!
