Tamás Vásáry today, who began his career with a Mozart concerto at age 8. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:20, 12 February 2026 (UTC)
Giants today, RD Helmuth Rilling and OTD Friedrich Cerha 100. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:52, 17 February 2026 (UTC)
- Oh Happy Birthday indeed to Rilling – I've spent many happy hours listening to him! DBaK (talk) 09:11, 18 February 2026 (UTC)
- Sadly, he died (RD = recent deaths), and I put a video of the motets into my story. Tomorrow will be György Kurtág's 100, and he is alive! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:38, 18 February 2026 (UTC)
- Today something new: a 100th birthday of someone alive, György Kurtág! In 2004 I was there when he and his wife played for the Rheingau Musik Festival where he was the featured composer. They played as the 2019 DYK said, on an upright piano, - listen, the last piece was the same. Remember that you once asked me about that piece, for recorders? - More pics uploaded, enjoy. And Rosiestep shows the latest cat! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:39, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
