In the Name of the Earth: The Headphones Mix

Experience the BBC Proms performance of John Luther Adams's mammoth choral work in glorious binaural sound.

In the Name of the Earth celebrates the elements in a musical meditation on rivers, lakes, mountains and deserts. The live Proms audience was completely immersed in the sound of eight choirs – totalling more than 600 singers – placed around the auditorium of the Royal Albert Hall.

Now you can join them via the wonders of binaural recording technology. This mix is best listened to on headphones, which will allow you to experience the full spatial effect. For more information about this technology, visit the BBC Proms website - but not before listening to this piece.
