Whose birthday did we forget?
mainYo Yo Ma is 60 today (warm brotherly greetings from Lang Lang).
Vladimir Putin is 63 (warm greetings from V. Gergiev).
Yundi Li is 34 (no tweets from Lang Lang).
Yundi is presently judging the Chopin Competition in Warsaw.
Charles Dutoit is 79 today!
Dailebrecht Mail strikes again.
Also KARI KRIIKKU is 55
PEKKA KUUSISTO is 39
ALISON BALSOM is 37
There are many fine musicians in this world of which Yundi Li is one. However, if Lang Lang were to send birthday greetings to each and every one of them then he wouldn’t have much time to practice.
Quite. SD is just making sure it does not go too long without Lang Lang-bashing. It causes grave withdrawal symptoms not to feed the beast, apparently.

SD forgot to mention Pierre Boulez on his 90th birthday in March this year, which was very strange !
