Deutsche Grammophon has posted a happy birthday page for the Chinese pianist, Yundi Li.

Have they forgotten they fired him last year, at Lang Lang’s insistence? Only for Lang Lang then to walk out on them and join Sony on a $3 million handshake.

Does no-one in these giant corporations talk to one another?

Yundi, by the way, is now with EMI.

Gustavo Dudamel has told the Los Angeles Times that he and his wife, Eloísa Maturén, are expecting a baby next spring. ‘I will be Papa!’ he cried. The paper then obtained confirmation from Deborah Borda, president of the LA Philharmonic – just in case he’d got it wrong.

Here’s the link and here’s the happy couple (Dude and Mrs, not Dude and Debs).
