Description:

Fragile is the fourth studio album of the British progressive rock band Yes, released in 1971 by Atlantic Records.

The album ranked 11th in the list of Top-25 best progressive rock albums by Progarchives.com.

The CD was the first for keyboardist Rick Wakeman in the band Yes, who came instead of Tony Kay, who started working on the album Fragile, but left the band in August 1971.

The most famous composition of the album Fragile is the song "Roundabout", which became one of the most popular works of the band and an unchanged concert hit. In 2003, the acoustic version of this song was recorded in the album The Ultimate Yes: 35th Anniversary Collection, which also contained an acoustic version of the song "South Side of the Sky".

The second song "Cans and Brahms" contains a melody from the third part of Johannes Brahms' fourth symphony, edited by Rick Wakeman using modern keyboard instruments.
