...over as one of two permanent conductors of Amsterdam's famed old Concertgebouw Orchestra. Haitink has guest-conducted widely throughout Europe, is best known for his coolly controlled readings of Beethoven and Bruckner. A childhood violin student at the Amsterdam Conservatory, Haitink "felt the need to have a broader instrument," studied conducting, was soon picked as assistant conductor of the Dutch Radio Philharmonic.

Although German managers are eager to get Americans, who generally have had a broader musical education than young European singers, the German Theater Union is bitterly opposed to imported talent. Germany should not be a training ground, the union argues, for foreign singers. Moreover, most of the provincial houses already have as many Americans on their rosters as they can handle, and the hundreds of hopefuls who flock across the Atlantic each year are finding jobs increasingly scarce.
