Let's make this birthday one to remember.

88 years old (Born on January 27, 1937)

Happy Birthday, John Ogdon! May your day be filled with as many high notes as your legendary performances. Ever since you dazzled the world by conquering both the 1961 London Liszt Competition and the 1962 International Tchaikovsky Competition, you've proven that when it comes to piano keys, you're truly unbeatable.

Here's hoping your birthday cake is as grand and impressive as your repertoire—though we doubt even Beethoven himself could compose a confection worthy of such talent. Keep hitting those keys with passion and flair; after all, age is just a number—but great music lasts forever. Cheers!
