Nov 18, 2008 - I first heard about this from the novel, "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle" by Haruki Murakami. Tough tune to whistle and good music to listen to while making spaghetti.

Nov 18, 2008 - I just finished that book last night. I was looking it up to get an idea of what it sounded like following the waiter through the hotel. I'm glad you're a fan. Be sure to hit up South of the Border, West of the Sun if you haven't already.

Nov 18, 2008 - Yeah, I also reached this music through "The wind up bird chronicle" by Haruki Murakami. Now I feel "The Thieving Magpie" is pretty wonderful.Now, I'm almost in love with this good music as much as the Murakami's works :]

Nov 18, 2008 - Amen to thebaloob123,Kubrick used Rossini's overture for "La Gazza Ladra"By the way, great performance and very delicate (the first part). However, it was written to be played as a march, check Abbado's rendition.

mokiyan Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Ah, I was led to this by Murakami as well XDHe includes like 30 references to music in each book and always has a scene where a character is drinking Perrier xD

Nov 18, 2008 - Hahaha billionth person to say so but Murakami is love. I'm totally checkin out all the songs he refers to in all his books and I like this one a lot the tune is familiar.

JustSmileReinah Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - thieving magpie should be tagged when you're referring to his book.

MBbackwards Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - I thought i only liked this because of clockwork orange, but its just really good in general

zitanewl Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Well done Guys! I love it that your stable energy keeps pumping through the whole piece, making the tunes float with so much ease. It's a tough one to play, and you did it really marvellously. Thanks for lifting my spirits. :)From a true (and little tired) Murakami fan.
