...electrical engineer, born near Genoa, brought up in Naples, Giannini became an actor out of sheer desperation. "I was so uncertain, so deeply involved with myself," he says...
Columbia, in conjunction with Melodya, has come out with three Liszt recordings, which include the twelve Transcendental Etudes and the B-minor sonata. Only a select few--like Berman-- have the technique to soar thrugh these finger-twisters without undertaking a mortal struggle of man against piano.

Two Canadian daredevils, Dave Irwin and Ken Read, have recently scored upsets in European events...
