Adams / Seattle Symphony / Morlot - Become Ocean [CD]

Awarded the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Music and described as "... The loveliest apocalypse in musical history," (the New Yorker's Alex Ross), John Luther Adams' majestic orchestral work Become Ocean is an exploration of depth, turbulence, eerie silence and ultimately enveloping calm. Performed by the Seattle Symphony under the baton of Ludovic Morlot, the music, meant to be heard as a continuous listening experience, casts an expressive arc that's by turns intimate and expansive - an ebbing and flowing sonic journey that finds the composer testing the very limits of his imagination.
