Some mistake, surely! 61? A musicianship of such boundless energy, curiosity and warmth indicates someone decades younger! But if I have to believe Time’s Winged Chariot, well…Happy Birthday, Martyn from one of thousands who think of you with boundless admiration, affection and gratitude – composers, soloists, orchestral musicians, colleagues, recording engineers…and record producers. I miss so acutely our paths crossing in the studio. Here’s to the resumption. After all, we have four more Vaughan Williams symphonies to record among other things!
