Let's make this birthday one to remember.

79 years old (Born on March 10, 1946)

Happy Birthday, Kun-Woo Paik! May your special day be as delightfully rare and obscure as your legendary repertoire. Who else could make Busoni's piano concerto sound like a chart-topping hit or turn Fauré's Fantasy into everyone's favorite earworm? Your fearless exploration of musical gems has us all wondering: what's next—perhaps an encore featuring the lost symphonies of composers even Wikipedia forgot?

Here's to another year filled with standing ovations, rediscovered masterpieces, and audiences whispering excitedly, "Wait...who composed this again?" Keep dazzling us with your extraordinary talent and boundless curiosity. After all, birthdays come every year—but pianists who can make obscure works unforgettable are truly timeless!
