Dora Perelmann, Pianist, Conductor, and Composer, with the Symphony of the Air
Vincent La Selva is not identified in the printed program as the conductor for the performance of the piano concerto, but he is mentioned in the New York Times review of the performance. There is conflicting information about the world premieres of the two works by Dora Perelmann on this program. Although the Piano Concerto and L'oiseau du Paradis are listed as world premieres on this concert, a New York Times concert listing for the performance on 3/24/1957 also claims that performance to be the world premieres of both works.
