Underworked Angels. Last week some 80 Americans were under contract to German opera companies, and others were singing in France, Italy and England.

The biggest new excursion into his music comes from the Haydn Society, which has recorded the complete Clavier Übung on seven excellent LPs, with Ralph Kirkpatrick playing the harpsichord and Paul Callaway the organ.
