Happy Birthday, Maestro Rene Jacobs! Your voice soared effortlessly through Baroque masterpieces and your baton has guided countless singers to musical bliss. Rumor has it even Handel himself would have applauded your interpretations—though he might've been slightly jealous of how you make his operas sparkle anew!From captivating audiences with breathtaking countertenor performances to conducting orchestras that sing under your guidance, you've truly earned the title "a singer's conductor." May this birthday bring as much joy as a perfectly executed da capo aria—and may every candle on your cake represent another standing ovation for all the timeless magic you've created!
