You are on the Today Page.
Today is Tuesday 20 January 2026.

Born on this day:
Joseph-Hector Fiocco (1703-1741). A composer and harpsichordist of the late Baroque period.

Listen today:
Allegro by Fiocco is a brilliant little piece performed in today's link by Itzhak Perlman. The video quality is not great, but Itzhak doesn't let us down.

Itzhak Perlman plays Allegro by Fiocco


Conductor of the day:
Gustavo Dudamel.
Hopefully you visited my Today page yesterday and will have seen him conducting the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra.

From Venezuela, and known as "The Dude", Gustavo was a long term conductor of the the Los Angeles Philharmonic (from the age of just 26), and as of 2026 will be music director of the New York Philharmonic, America's oldest symphony orchestra.

Quote of the day:
Gustavo Dudamel: Music is energy. You cannot see the music, you cannot touch the music. You only listen and you receive. Music can change completely your life.

Remember:
Come back to this page tomorrow. There will be something new.
