Sigur Rós - Svefn-G-Englar (played by Kronos Quartet)

This is a recording of the famous Kronos Quartet. They encored their 2002 concert at the Reykjavik Arts Festival with this amazing acoustic version of the Sigur Rós song "svefn-g-englar"

I'm slowly getting into this version, being used to the original.

I believe that many of Sigur Ros' works will be considered as classical music, in the near future.

Check out their version of this piece too.

I wish Kronos Quartet would release all their Sigur Ros covers as a studio album

@radders123, you're right.

Wohoho! Surprise ending! Kronos craptures Sigur Ros beautifully!

@CarolusBardell35679 or you could just ask me, because that page just links to this video :-) and the original is much longer, but at the time I uploaded this video you mustn't upload videos longer than 10 minutes, so I clipped of the intro, which you would have, if you asked me :-)

fuckin brilliant!

I wish Kronos did a studio recording of this version. It's truly superb

[loosebrooseable]

there's an album called "kronos quartet plays sigur ros", but it's only one sigur ros song. After hearing this, that's truly unfortunate.

The Kronos Quartet is amazing. They always cover great songs

[gergsar]

Kronos should do an album of arrangements of songs by Sigur Ros... they do at least one more by them...and it is great also.
