On February 18, 19 and 20, Sir Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker perform Kurtág's latest orchestra work Petite Musique solennelle en hommage à Pierre Boulez 90. In this video Sir Simon Rattle and Gábor Tarkövi (Principal Trumpet, Berliner Philharmoniker) send their birthday wishes.

"Your music is deep in all of our hearts. You call it fragments. But they are fragments of such an extraordinary weight and density and meaning. You have made us listen differently. You have enriched our lives", says Sir Simon Rattle.
