FREE TRANSLATION You just heard 'V'lirushalayim'. The story behind it is as follows: Shortly after the State of Israel was born, I had the honor of performaing at a large gathering of dignitaries including the first US ambassador to Israel, etc. I was scheduled to sing the song "Yirushalayim" but when the event chairman introduced me, he announced: 'And now we will hear Moshe Koussevitzky sing Vlirushalayim ircha brachamim tashuv!' I walked up to the microphone overcome with emotion and as if from heaven, I was handed this ready-made composition that just sang itself! I went home and wrote down the notes for it."
Hi i'm new to this website and i love it! it actually sounds like that at this concert where he says the story that he made it up o the spot but either way it doesnt seem like he made it up even before cuz its not his style its his composers style so it makes sense that his composer made it up. btw who are you.
