Happy Birthday, Maestro Philippe Herreweghe! May your baton continue to wave with the precision of Bach's fugues and the elegance of his cantatas. Your recent performances have once again reminded us that nobody conducts Johann Sebastian quite like you—it's almost as if you've got a direct hotline to Leipzig circa 1725!From masterful renditions at prestigious festivals worldwide, to recordings praised by critics who usually reserve their enthusiasm for free coffee backstage—you've truly set an unmatched standard in interpreting Baroque brilliance. Here's wishing another year filled with harmonious triumphs—and perhaps fewer musicians sneaking selfies during rehearsal breaks!
