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.
