TELEPHONE HOUR, THE {DEBUT OF LORIN HOLLANDER}
(RADIO)
Summary
Twelve-year-old pianist Lorin Hollander, the youngest performer ever to appear on The Telephone Hour, makes his debut. His pieces include Chopin's Nocturne in F-sharp Major, Ibert's "The Little White Donkey," and Rachmaninoff's arrangement of Rimsky-Korsakoff's "The Flight of the Bumble Bee." In honor of Labor Day weekend the orchestra plays "Heigh-Ho, Heigh-Ho" from "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" and the polka from Smetana's "The Bartered Bride." Following an informal exchange with Donald Voorhees, Hollander plays Mendelssohn's "Capriccio Brillante." A comparison is drawn between Hollander and Mendelssohn, who both composed five symphonies and other works at the age of twelve. The broadcast concludes with a mention of the television program, "Telephone Time," "on another network."
