Haydn: The Seasons (Soprano Ileana Cotrubas, Tenor Werner Krenn, Bass Hans Sotin, Brighton Festival Chorus, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Antal Dorati conductor, London; 3 LPs).

They were rather smudgy plates by someone obviously impressed by William Blake, all on the same basic motif: nude man in supplication before a female angel. Each was signed "In Verehrung gewidmet"-dedicated in adoration-"Edwin Krenn, Arch. 1920." The vultures' eyes gleamed. Little Edwin Krenn, Swiss architect, Chicago real estate promoter, was the adoring friend of the late Edith Rockefeller McCormick.
