Marc Blitzstein: Parabola and Circula
Bauhaus Music, Volume 1 opens the new Bauhaus-Archiv/Museum fr Gestaltung edition that brings back to life the rich and long-neglected musical history of the Bauhaus. The series opens with an absolute sensation, Marc Blitzsteins Parabola and Circula, believed to be the only geometric opera in the world. Developed in 1929/30, the piece was supposed to debut at a Bauhaus event but, for various reasons, remained unperformed for almost a century. It wasnt until 2025 when the Bauhaus Music research project presented the world premiere of a reconstructed version at the Musikfest Berlin in the Berliner Philharmonie. Modern, poignant and richly multifaceted, Blitzsteins opera tells a tragic love story in the realm of geometric forms that evokes the artistic visions of the Bauhaus stage. With this album, you can now enjoy the first recording of the 2025 debut performance an acoustic document that captures an extraordinary moment of music and Bauhaus research. Bauhaus Music is funded by the German Federal Commissioner for Culture and the Media.
