    Chau Sen Cocsal Chhum springs to mind but I always thought Xenophon Zolotas shouldn't have retired at 86. Had he stayed in charge until his 100th birthday, Greece would be in a very different place.

    Kyrie, it is Zeus' anathema on our epoch for the dynamism of our economies and the heresy of our economic methods and policies that we should agonize the Scylla of numismatic plethora and the Charybdis of economic anaemia. It is not my idiosyncrasy to be ironic or sarcastic, but my diagnosis would be that politicians are rather cryptoplethorists. Although they emphatically stigmatize numismatic plethora, they energize it through their tactics and practices. Our policies have to be based more on economic and less on political criteria. Our gnomon has to be a metron between political, strategic and philanthropic scopes. Political magic has always been anti-economic. In an epoch characterized by monopolies, oligopolies, monopsonies, monopolistic antagonism and polymorphous inelasticities, our policies have to be more orthological.

    Xenophon Zolotas

      ........But this should not be metamorphosed into plethorophobia, which is endemic among academic economists. Numismatic symmetry should not hyper-antagonize economic acme. A greater harmonization between the practices of the economic and numismatic archons is basic. Parallel to this, we have to synchronize and harmonize more and more our economic and numismatic policies panethnically. These scopes are more practicable now, when the prognostics of the political and economic barometer are halcyonic. The history of our didymus organizations in this sphere has been didactic and their gnostic practices will always be a tonic to the polyonymous and idiomorphous ethnical economies. The genesis of the programmed organization will dynamize these policies. Therefore, I sympathize, although not without criticism on one or two themes, with the apostles and the hierarchy of our organs in their zeal to program orthodox economic and numismatic policies, although I have some logomachy with them. I apologize for having tyrannized you with my Hellenic phraseology. In my epilogue, I emphasize my eulogy to the philoxenous autochthons of this cosmopolitan metropolis and my encomium to you, Kyrie, and the stenographers.

        Very few, as far as I am aware; I think that Emmanuel Shinwell just about managed it, as did Mieczysław Horszowski, but as for the longest-lived composers it seems that all have ceased to be active at or soon after age 90 or so (I'm thinking of nonagenarians such as Petrassi, Brian, Sorabji, Cooke and Rodrigo and the centenarians le Flem and Ornstein). I somehow suspect that Elliott Carter may outlive us all...

        OK, so now back to the future - of Greece...

            I thought Ken Dod was 403?

            None of this is helping our Greek cousins.

              no no,he is 226.

              403 is how many gags he tells in an evening.
              (it probably is !!)

              (sorry, I know this is off topic, but Ken is a national treasure).

                          I know, that wasn't me. This happened the other day on another thread.
