Let's make this birthday one to remember.

65 years old (Born on March 27, 1960)

Happy Birthday, Philippe Bianconi! May your day be filled with as much poetry and life as your music brings to audiences worldwide. Critics say you're "close to the soul of music," but we suspect you might actually have a secret hotline directly to Beethoven himself.

From captivating concert halls with your soulful interpretations, to inspiring countless listeners through recordings that breathe fresh life into timeless classics—your artistry continues to amaze us all. Here's hoping this year brings even more standing ovations, unforgettable performances, and perhaps fewer requests for "Chopsticks."

Cheers to another harmonious trip around the sun!
