Franz/Ferenc Liszt d otd 140 years ago. Still considered the greatest pianist of all time, despite no-one living ever having heard him play a note! And a composer whose music - progressing from virtuoso vehicles to major masterpieces, to the futuristic - continues to fascinate us

The great Arthur Rubinstein d otd 1982:
“At each concert I leave a lot to the moment. I must have the unexpected. I want to risk, to dare, to be surprised. That way the music can bloom anew. It's like making love. The act is always the same, but each time it's different.”

Happy Saint Cecilia’s Day! Santa Cecilia is the patron saint of music and musicians. This is a beautiful depiction of her, done in 1620-25, by Italian painter Bernardo Strozzi which I recently saw in the Nelson-Atkins Museum in Kansas City.

A very happy 70th to Yo-Yo Ma!! A brilliant cellist and musician with an endlessly enquiring mind - for matters musical and non-musical - full of astonishingly positive energy and a burning desire to make the world a better place. And every bit as lovely in private as in public.
