I disagree; it is *not* nothing, it is about the experience of being in a concert hall, trying not to fidget, hearing the coughs and, occasionally, even the breathing, of your fellow audients, trying to look interested when you know there is nothing interesting happening (but is that in itself interesting...?), watching the pianist try not to fidget or look bored...etc.

I guess you're right. It's probably an entirely different experience "hearing" it performed live. Listening to the download doesn't do it justice.
