It's crucial for a Fripp piece to have someone glaring around with an aloof look of malevolent disdain, way more important than playing actual notes!

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

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

"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.

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 !!!

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

Bravo! Spot on job of a major Fripp work.

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!

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!

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

@@internetenjoyer1044 Hi Daniel. Thanks for your interest! This was played to a very mixed audience, as part of the annual "informal drop in concerts" held by the Grieg Academy during the Bergen International Festival. The program included Bach and Purcell as well as a piece by a Catalonian composer (manuel Oltra). We began with walk-in music based on the elements of "Requiem Affirming" (from the Soundscape album "Love cannot bear"). In other words, a pretty unusual program. I did not make a point of making "FraKctured" stand out. It fitted right in with the rest of the program as pure music. We got good comments afterwards and I felt it went down well with the audience. It was very challenging for the students in the orchestra. Cheers! Ricardo

@@MarceloKatayama I was watching her the whole time, wondering if she was ever going to actually play something. And, yes, thinking about Bruford's famous contribution of silence to "Trio". Fripp has often talked about the important of silence, and how the notes you don't play are at least as important as the ones you do. But you don't really need to bring someone on stage specifically to provide silence. You'd get the exact same silence if she wasn't there at all. It seems weird, and frankly distracting, having her sitting there doing nothing. Bruford was there on stage, for the other songs. So, at least he had a reason to be there.

Girl in the blue dress on the left: 'Bloody 'ell, when does this piece finish!'

Transcribed for strings, Frakctured is rather reminiscent of Bernard Herrmann. That's a good thing.

Bernard Herrmann was a friend and early champion of Charles Ives' music. Somehow the circle seems unbroken from the man from Danbury to the Crimson King.

Magnificent work, very instructive and artistic. It deserves better sound. If you plan to record it and other like creations and open a crowd funding for it, please let me know.

I actually like this better than the original version by King Crimson!

Hey, a question unrelated to the performance itself (which was, of course, wonderful). Is it common these days in chamber orchestras for the majority of the performers to be female, as we see here?

@odrioper

Hi Frank - in the past couple of decades there seems to have been a gradual shift towards female players in classical music in general.

Look, a member of the audience is holding a cello on stage.

I like when buddy gets up around 9:24. So...broad in the middle...as this went on, i'm thinking - ok, Checkovian thingie? She was good at occasioally opening her eyes in rather arch manner. I dig: 1:45 5:51 (almost Holst-like) 9:03 (alternating staggered plucking violin section)

Bekomme " hühnerhaut" das heis es wir mir kalt, wegen gefühl und es sehr gefällt! Kenne kg seit ich 13 bin, heute 66

Someone should be screaming, like on the cover of the album In The Court of the Crimson King.
