JÓHANN JÓHANNSSON

DG is proud to release 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 he compiled and arranged from existing material drawn from his Academy Award-nominated scores for Sicario and The Theory of Everything.
