Different Times...Different Places
Washington Saxophone Quartet
Digital downloads are available from iTunes.
Americus Records is pleased to announce the 3rd recording on our label by the famed Washington Saxophone Quartet (WSaxQ). Different Times...Different Places was recorded at various venues over the past decade by the quartet currently celebrating almost 35 years of performing together. WSaxQ is the most widely heard saxophone quartet in the USA and perhaps the world given that their arrangements of NPR's All Things Considered theme have been played on that show since 1997. This album contains arrangements of works from the Baroque and Classical eras right up to modern times. If you only thought the saxophone was good for jazz this CD will change your mind. And check out their other two CDs: To China and Bach and Daydream. You can also visit their website at WSaxQ.com.

Schubert Piano Works
Garnet Ungar, piano
Digital downloads are available from iTunes.
Professor Garnet Ungar has chosen a selection of piano works by Franz Schubert that includes the Sonata in A Major, D. 959 for his second CD for Americus. The pieces cover a wide range of Schubert's compositional talents for the piano. We think that his playing is, simply put, absolutely superb and are sure you will agree.

Evocación
Lynn Rice-See, piano
Digital downloads are available from iTunes.
Lynn Rice-See, professor of piano at Middle Tennessee State University, has released her first CD on the Americus label. This recording shows how extraordinary our college music professors really are. Sadly, they are not as well known, as they should be, given the scale of their talents. As you will hear, Dr. Rice-See is no exception.

Beethoven Pno Cto No. 5
Walter Hautzig, piano; Jerusalem Academy Orchetsra - Ilan Schul, conductor
Digital downloads are available from iTunes.
Walter Hautzig's 85th birthday was celebrated in Jerusalem with a performance of Beethoven's 5th Piano Concerto ("Emperor"), which was broadcast live on Israeli radio. He was ably joined by the Jerusalem Academy Orchestra under the baton of Maestro Ilan Schul. This truly live (no dubs or retakes) recording, Walter's 8th for Americus, captured the magic of the moment. We are very proud to be able to bring it to you.
