"FraKctured" by King Crimson. Arranged for strings

Bravo to who transcribed it, and bravo to the arranger. And bravo to the cellist in the middle.

The league of Crafty Strings players!!! Awesome.

You’ve somehow made Krimson even more terrifying. Bravo!

Woman in the middle is imitating Fripp during tacet.

The quality, of KC music, transladed for a Orchestra, seems like a classical composition

How wonderful. I’ve always felt that Robert Fripps music would one day be considered “classical”. I didn’t realize it would come to pass during my lifetime. Just a brilliant composition performed by very talented players.

Astonishingly wonderful ! I modestly play lead electric guitar and, to me, Robert Fripp has always been one of greatest guitar genius in the world along these 50 years, since King Crimson was created. I clearly remember when 'Fracture' ( the first one, from the "Starless and Bible Black" album ) was released, in 1974 ( at that time, I was studying classical guitar ). "Fracture"/ "FraKctured" is not only a very difficult piece... it's EXTREMELY DIFFICULT ! So, one thousand congratulations to the wonderful players here and mostly to the musician who transcribed it from guitar to violins, violas and cellos. Great work !!!

How wonderfully exciting! (I wonder what the cellist did that was so wrong she was sent to the naughty chair… )

I'm a huge fan of Grieg and King Crimson. I've been to Bergen (Troldhaugen) and visited the composer's home. Imagine what a thrill to find this music played in this place! Bravo Grieg Academy Chamber Orchestra!

"FraKctured" is an etude that challenges one's neurology no matter how it's honorably approached -- with guitar, with percussion tuned and/or untuned, with strings, and with whatever permutations are to come -- voices, perhaps? This realization for strings by the Grieg Academy Chamber Orchestra is brilliant in conception, arrangement, and execution. Bravo! Mr. Odriozola, thanks to you and your musicians for bringing it into the world.

Cellist in the middle displaying Bruford-like restraint!

Fantastic!!

That guy who walks out near the end !!!!

When I listen some King Crimson pieces a question arises in my mind: is there a hard border between academic modern music and rock music? ... This arrangement is amazing!

Bravo! Spot on job of a major Fripp work.

I really enjoyed this version, and the 3rd cellist as FQM, this video is the best explanation for the term I've seen yet (with the man walking away as contrast). Beautiful, flawless, I love it. Thanks for posting this.

違和感なし、むしろ素晴らしい

A magnificent arrangement. Congratulations Ricardo! (I had no idea you had done this.) Left-field rock music has no finer or more generous advocate than Prof Odriozola.

And it's all memorized. Common in rock, not as common in chamber music. Kudos.

the woman in the center has been possessed by the mind of robert fripp which explains why she's staring off into the distance like a serial killer
