Happy Birthday, Garrick Ohlsson! May your day be as grand and expansive as your legendary repertoire—after all, anyone who can effortlessly glide from Chopin's poetic nocturnes to Gershwin's jazzy rhythms deserves a celebration worthy of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony finale. Your mastery of Schubert’s delicate melodies and Beethoven’s powerful sonatas continues to amaze us all; clearly, your fingers have discovered the secret fountain of eternal youth.Here's wishing you another year filled with standing ovations, flawless chamber music performances, and perhaps even more composers added to your already encyclopedic collection. Keep dazzling us with those magical hands—just remember not to accidentally play "Happy Birthday" in the style of Chopin Études!
