Riccardo Muti’s next challenge

Riccardo Muti’s next challenge

Buon compleanno to the formidable Italian maestro, who turns 84 today.

He is the doyen of his guild and he will know better than most that the one to beat is Arturo Toscanini, who retired after a memory lapse within days of his 87th birthday in 1954.

Muti if fit and spry.

Way to go, maestro.
