Thanks so much, I am just finishing the second volume of 1Q84, so it's about time to hear it at last ;-)

Thank you for posting this piece by the Chicago Symphony. The audio quality and musicianship in your post is superior to all other posts. Thank you!

Murakami put on Janacek’s “Sinfonietta,” the song that kicks off, and then periodically haunts, the narrative of “1Q84.” It is, as the book suggests, truly the worst possible music for a traffic jam: busy, upbeat, dramatic — like five normal songs fighting for supremacy inside an empty paint can. This makes it the perfect theme for the frantic, lumpy, violent adventure of “1Q84.” Shouting over the music, Murakami told me that he chose the “Sinfonietta” precisely for its weirdness.

Very nice indeed. I always wanted to hear that after reading 1Q84.

Murakami's "1q84" just now being published in English. Nice of the NYT to include a link to this video in the book review.
