A Prayer To The Dynamo - part 1
DEUTSCHE GRAMMOPHON
the world premiere recording of Jóhann Jóhannsson’s 'A Prayer to the Dynamo'.
This major orchestral work was inspired in general by the composer’s fascination with technology, and in particular by field recordings he made at Iceland’s Elliðaár power plant and the writings of Henry Adams. It is paired on this new album with two suites compiled and arranged by the composer from existing material drawn from his Academy Award-nominated scores for 'Sicario' and 'The Theory of Everything', also recorded here for the first time.
