The venerable Jean Sibelius would have turned 143 years-young on this cold day of 8 December. Birthday wishes – what I’ve been told is her “best reference to the final movement of the Sibelius concerto” – from Hilary Hahn can be found here.
I can’t say for sure, but I’m fairly to moderately certain that all Jean wants for his birthday is for the Violin Concertos of Schoenberg and Sibelius on performed by Hilary Hahn released on Deutsche Grammophon to win two (2) Grammy Awards. Don’t quote me on that, though; he could very well want something entirely different.
Now, if his relatives surface and send me family birthday party photos like Larry and Randy Schoenberg did, free S/S discs for all!
