In context:

The opening few bars of music which you hear are from ‘Dance’ ¹ written by George Lloyd and ² performed by the violinist Tasmin Little, who is one of the ³ top classical musicians in Britain. She is taking her lead from the rock group Radiohead by offering her new album entitled ⁴ ‘The Naked Violin‘ ⁵ free of charge.
She has a plan to take her CD on tour around the country; she has had what she describes as a ⁶ fantastic, crazy wacky idea to hire a tepee and go around the country ⁷ trying to interest people in classical music who might ⁸ otherwise never think about it.
Part of her plan is to release it ⁹ as a free download which should be available on Monday the 14th (January) and will comprise 3 pieces which are ¹⁰ very different from each other.
The main difference between Tasmin Little’s CD and most other CDs is that it concentrates on the violin (as an instrument) rather than on ¹¹ a particular composer. Ms Little explains that if you know you like a certain composer such as Bach or Mozart, you can buy a CD from a shop, and there’s no problem, but that unfortunately, if you have no idea what you like and you buy it, then put on one track and think ‘oh dear, ¹² this really isn’t for me‘, then that’s it, ¹³ you’ve had it.
Tasmin Little says that the violin is ¹⁴ such a versatile instrument, and it has had ¹⁵ 300 years of amazing music written for it. In her download the violin will be the ¹⁶ focal point of attention and ¹⁷ she will show people how different it can sound according to which composer wrote for it.
When Radiohead released their download they didn’t charge people ¹⁸ ‘as such’, people could pay what they thought the CD was worth.
With classical music Tasmin considers there is enough perception of a barrier still for it to be necessary to remove ¹⁹ every single barrier. She believes that then there will then be firmly no excuse other than having a closed mind for not listening to this sort of music , that it may be that people ²⁰ can’t be bothered or because they don’t have an open mind, but this opportunity will mean there is no other reason not to have access to classical music.
For a long time people have fired criticism at classical musicians for being inaccessible or ²¹ apparently elitist. She has ²² had enough of that and she wants to show people classical musicians don’t want to be inaccessible, they want people to listen and enjoy it, ²³ otherwise what’s the point?
This is going to be her ²⁴ first new recording in 4 years.
How is she going to ²⁵ make a lot of money out of it?
(The answer is – she isn’t! That’s not the point!)
