"After seven months of musical silence, I feel very fortunate to be giving a public concert this week with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. The auditorium in Glasgow’s City Halls will be empty, but people can still listen to the performance live thanks to a simultaneous broadcast on Radio 3. Invisible listeners are not ideal, but in the context of this year a live orchestral experience of any sort is much appreciated. A musician’s need to be heard is not just psychological inspiration, needy approbation, or box office compensation. We need audiences because without anyone listening, the music doesn’t exist – merely proverbial trees falling unheard in the distant forest."

A day without listening to music is an impoverished one. Treat yourself to Manuel de Falla's Danza Española N°1 from La Vida Breve with Lucero Tena using Castañuelas at the Teatro Monumental in Madrid 8 May 2005.

 
I agree, treat yourself to a bit of Motörhead
