Back in 2011, Leonard Cohen received the Prince of Asturias Award for Literature for "a body of literary work that has influenced three generations of people worldwide through his creation of emotional imagery in which poetry and music are fused in an oeuvre of immutable merit". When he came to Oviedo to collect his literary prize, he delivered one of the most beautiful speeches I've ever heard in this kind of setting.
His voice is so soft and delightful, his pronunciation so clear and precise, and his tempo so fine-tuned, that I recommend you sit back and just enjoy this gift to your senses.
