John Luther Adams: Become Ocean

It is preceded by one of the most rousing piano concertos of the 21st century, premiered at the 2019 London Proms.

At the piano: Andreas Haeflinger, whose first performance of the work in Boston in 2019 was hailed as an »elemental event« – both here and at a subsequent performance in Lucerne.
