Let's make this birthday one to remember.

89 years old (Born on January 29, 1936)

Happy Birthday, Malcolm! May your day be filled with harmonious laughter and fewer sharps than flats. Your legendary performances of British piano music have inspired countless listeners—though we're still debating whether it's your dazzling technique or witty charm that steals the show.

From unforgettable chamber duos alongside Manoug Parikian to captivating solo recitals, you've hit all the right notes (and occasionally some delightfully unexpected ones). Here's wishing you another year as vibrant and timeless as a perfectly tuned Steinway—and may every encore bring applause loud enough to drown out any creaking joints!

Cheers to many more melodious adventures ahead!
