Daniel Bjarnason & Iceland Symphony Orchestra - Johannsson: 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. “Jóhannsson’s minimalistic music is infused by a sense of wonder based on how electricity has transformed the world” – Winnipeg Free Press.
