Adams John Luther - Become Desert (Cd+Dvd)

Deluxe CD + DVD edition. 2019 release. John Luther Adams' Become Desert is a remarkable expansion on the ideas he developed for his Pulitzer-winning (and Grammy-winning) work, Become Ocean. While not necessarily a sequel in the literal sense, the recording certainly shares multiple elements with it's predecessor including, most significantly, the renewal of Adams' creative partnership with conductor Ludovic Morlot and the Seattle Symphony. The second disc in the package is a DVD which includes a 5.1 surround mix of the recording, as well as a slideshow of desert images (all still photography by John Luther Adams) that loops during playback.
