Actually the name is spelt "Kussevitsky". The four brothers were Moshe,
David, Simcha and Israel. As you say Moshe was the most famous and
dynamic of the four Chazzanim. There are many recordings available to
this day. Several have been published as CD collections.

Perhaps the most notable is one entitled "The Brothers Kussevitsky"
featuring all four brothers.

I have many of theses recordings in my collection and would be happy to
share volume names with anybody interested. 

Our current collection (total) is at about 450 albums, tapes and CD's
spanning Chazzanut from the earliest Hirshmann, Sirota etc titles to
the most current.

I will be happy to share information with anybody interested.
