This is translated with a program so not everything is perfect 
In English:
INTERVIEW "Before my motivation was to survive, now is the public" More than thirty years on the scenes and a title that made history: "Tubular bells". The British musician Mike Oldfield returns the next week to Spain and the makes to act in the concert "Night of proms", organized by GPE, next to for Tears Fears, Ana Torroja, Chico & The Gyspsies, John Thousands, the Tony tenor Henry, Il Novecento & Robert Groslot and Fine Fleur. It will be next day 30 in Valencia and, also, the 31 in Madrid. WRITING Photo To extend photo the artist Mike Olfield acts next day 30 in Valencia and the 31 in Madrid, within the project "Night of the proms" Services To send this page To send this page To print this news To print this page Contacts with us Attention to the Previous reader To return Following M ike, has lived in Spain, has sold many discs here and still fans has many. It can describe how one feels both by concerts in which it is going to participate days 30 and 31 of this month in Valencia and Madrid Yes, I have lived in Spain, Ibiza. Accidentally, it saw the one of GoogleMaps the other day and I found the house that I constructed there, still is. It had a very good relation with Spain and the Spaniards from my first tour in 1978... What remembers of that I decide to me that it had very many nerves, because it did not know if they were going to me to accept or were going they to like my music. When finishing the concert was as much people trying to enter that the police with tear gases arrived. We left the scene and we went to "backstage", they ignited the lights but I publish refused to go away and we had to return. My songs are not short - half an hour each one -, so we repeated one... That was my baptism to touch in direct in Spain, in Barcelona in 1978. Since then I have returned ten times and he has always been wonderful, is the best public than I have never known. It has much joy and that enchants to me... It has desire to return Sure but more than that, I have desire to return and to give concerts in solitaire. At the moment I am composing a work of classic music for orchestra - surely a Spanish will participate - and classic guitar, that I in I dial and direct will touch, and for piano and a small choir. We are studying the possibility of touching in the capitals of Europe, even in Spain at the end of 2007. The work is based on the authentic festividad of Halloween, and not it version of Hollywood. It is a festival that takes thousands of years and that the transition of the autumn to the winter celebrates.... Hallowéen is spelled originally It pull ahead. The disc not yet has name, but it will be all music for orchestra, the only thing that never I have tried to do before. After twenty-two albums, I have done more or less everything what I have wanted to do, even songs of pop and rock, never I have done nothing that is only for orchestra. It is for that reason reason why it has decided to do it It is rather a question of the present tendencies. When I began, classic music was not fashionable. And was rock roll and it already is. Nowadays classic music has been made more popular, every time there is more interested people... is a very relajante music and it has become more accessible. I feel that one occurs me well. I have the luck to have fantastic people to help me and it does much illusion to me. Then what type of concerts will be those of Valencia and Madrid Are going to touch specific songs, some of the last disc "Light and Shade" Unfortunately no. We are only going to touch very short versions of "Tubular bells" and "Ommadawn", and three songs, "To France", "Moonlight shadow" and "Shadow on the wall". I leave at the end of the concert during half an hour, are many very good artists more before, artists. It is not a concert of Mike Oldfield, is rather a festival. He will take singers We have the luck to count on the voice of Cedrón Rose, of the Luar group na Lubre, that is going to sing "To France" and "Moonlight shadow". For "Shadow on the wall" we have John Thousands, singer of The Electric Band. Which is its motivation to continue touching in direct the motivation has changed much during the last years. I take to enough time writing a biography with a companion, it will leave in May with Virgin Books, is called "Changeling". I return to the past, the most successful moment of my race, "Tubular bells". The then motivation era to survive, music was my salvation, my way to handle to the reality and the psychological problems that it had. After surpassing those problems, it had to look for different motivations. In the 80 it was to try to write the best song of pop, the best album. I have already finished everything what wanted to do and the motivation yes is a problem. I do not mean that this project, Hallowéen, will be the last one, depends on how me it passes it and of the success. But to touch in direct is different, you are there in front of people and if it does not like, you it says it, and if it likes, you it says it. The public is honest, do not manipulate mass media to him. I have always had the luck of which I fall to him well to I publish, specially in Spain, so that is the motivation. The last time remembers that acted Yes in Spain, it memory very well. In 2004. It had never touched in front of as much public. I explain myself. We were in the beach in A Corunna, in Galicia, San Cristóbal is called. The beach had 200 meters wide, the scene was in the end and attended 100,000 people, arrived up to one or two kilometers of distance of the scene. Hallucinating. It was a fantastic concert and still they speak of that. They also left Luar na Lubre, The Corrs and other artists, were tremendous. Me and can explain the differences between "Light shade" and the new project Yes, always experiment with the new technologies, and at the time of "Light and Shade" I did it. We ended two discs, one we say "chill out rather" and the other "critical moment", with influences to have lived in Ibiza and salary been in the clubs until the dawn listening to and absorbing this rate. Now I want to make something but pure, with acoustic instruments and symphony orchestra. What music listens now I do not listen to anything because too much I am occupied and I put in my own ideas. I saw a USB and I thought that it would be the opportunity to remove my vinyls and to listen to discs, but it was clogged.
