Biography
Maria Tipo (born in 23 December 1931) is an Italian pianist.
Tipo was born in Naples. She was taught originally by her mother, Ersilia Cavallo, who was a pupil of Ferruccio Busoni, she went on to study under Alfredo Casella and Guido Agosti. At only seventeen, she won the Geneva international piano competition. Since then, she has performed widely and made a considerable number of recordings. Maria Tipo’s first appearance in North America in the late 1950s, where she played over 300 concerts, caused her to be nicknamed the “Neapolitan Horowitz” Her first recording, an LP of 12 Scarlatti sonatas, which she recorded in a mere 4 hours in 1955, was hailed by Newsweek magazine as the most spectacular record of the year. Her recordings of Bach’s Goldberg Variations and of sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti have been awarded the “Diapason d’Or”. She has also championed the music of Muzio Clementi both in concert and on disc. Her stature has tended to be higher among her fellow-pianists than with the general public. Martha Argerich, in an interview with Rai Radio 3 referred to her as “sensational”. She is a pianist of considerable strength and virtuosity; the critic Piero Rattalino recalls her playing as a teenager: “Her agility was incredible, and her precision greater than the volcanic Martha Argerich”.
