Excerpt from Cinemonde Soiree #9 press release:

We're proud to present a sneak preview of Gianni Di Gregorio's MID-AUGUST LUNCH (Pranzo di Ferragosto, Italy, 2009, 75 mins.). Winner of numerous prizes at international festivals, including Best First Film and Best Italian Film at Venice and the Satyajit Ray Award at London, MID-AUGUST LUNCH is a warm, vibrant family drama and a delicately balanced comedy of manners.

The charismatic Gianni Di Gregorio (co-scenarist of the smash hit GOMORRAH, Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film, 2009) stars in his own directorial debut, a tale of good food, feisty ladies and unlikely friendships set during Italys biggest summer holiday, the annual mid-August Feast of the Assumption, Pranzo di Ferragosto.

Broke and armed with only a glass of wine and a wry sense of humor, the movies central character, Gianni, resides with his 93-year-old mother in their ancient apartment in Rome. Their mounting condo debts are foreboding, but if Gianni looks after the building managers mother during the big mid-summer holiday, all will be forgiven. Unexpectedly, the manager shows up with his dear old auntie and a doctor friend appears with his ancient mother in tow, too. Can Gianni keep four lively mamas well-fed and happy in cramped quarters over what becomes a very hot August 15th?

Charming and gently hilarious...a gem whose intelligent, gentle deadpan humor is entirely irresistible. This is a film that the broadest of audiences can enjoy. - THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

Schubert-Liszt Soiree de Vienne No 6 De Greef Rec 1927.wmv PUPILS OF LISZT. Arthur De Greef was born in Belgium on October 10, 1862. His early teachers were Francois August Gevaert (composition) and Louis Brassin (piano). Later, De Greef studied with Liszt and it is believed that he was one of the chosen few who were given private lessons. by the master. In 1889, De Greef performed the Grieg Piano Concerto with the composer conducting. Grieg was delighted with De Greef's performance and wrote that "De Greef is the best interpreter of my music that I have met with." However, Grieg later became very enthused with Percy Grainger's performances of his music and endorsed him warmly. After leaving Liszt, De Greef moved to Paris where he met and worked with Saint Saens. De Greef was probably the first pianist to record Saint Saens 2nd Piano Concerto,an acoustic recording, in 1921. He re-recorded it electrically in 1928 with the same conductor ,Sir Landon Ronald. When Bernard Shaw heard him in 1889, he wrote, "(De Greef's) execution is extremely ambidextrous; and he has a prodigious musical gift, besides having a fair share of sense and taste." Arthur De Greef died in Brussels on 29 August 1940. It is interesting to compare De Greef's recording of the Schubert-Liszt Soiree de Vienne No. 6 with that of another Liszt pupil, Moriz Rosenthal
