宇多田ヒカル (Utada Hikaru) - Prisoner of Love [string orchestra ver.] (2011)

Title: Prisoner of Love from "Heart Station" (2011)
Composer: 宇多田ヒカル (Utada Hikaru)
Arr: String Quartet (Annette Homann & Daisuke Suzuki, violins; Blake Allen, viola; Abigail Kniffin, cello) & orchestra

Well, since I couldn't really get Murasaki together, I decided to re-do some things in "Prisoner of love" and expand it for a full orchestra. The quartet is still present as in the beginning and ending, but I loved the addition of the bass and other instruments as it really filled out the sound. It sounds a lot more like the drama version, but it's still got my signature. What really comes off best is the crescendo in the middle that leads into the tempo change. God, I love the drama!!
