Description
During the 1920s, the Bauhaus Art School in Germany was a thriving hotbed for the creation of theories concerning art, design, architecture and even music.
This collection represents several Ferruccio Busoni works that figured prominently in the Bauhaus movement, performed by Veronica Jochum, daughter of the late, world-renowned maestro Eugen Jochum.
”“Veronica Jochum is, without question, a commanding artist, equipped with strong ideas, stylistic insight, and a solid technique.”
—Los Angeles Times
