Additional Information
1Q84 is the title of a famous surrealist novel by Haruki Murakami, set in 1984. It’s also the title of an album by cellist Sahara von Hattenberger, who takes advantage of the reference to transport music lovers into a parallel musical universe richly inspired by the equally offbeat symbolic thread of the literary work itself. From the romantic-gothic cover, a nod to the Robert Doisneau/Maurice Baquet photographic collaboration in the 1980s, to Claude Bolling’s Suite for Cello and Jazz Trio (premiered in 1984), to a Kate Bush hit written the same year, to the socio-political context of the Reagan years and their present-day parallel in 2024, the young artist offers here a discographic opus full of meaning. She tells us all about it in this interview.
