THE NEAPOLITAN HOROWITZ Revered for her brilliant articulation, immaculate precision and admirable control of the instrument, pianist Maria Tipo was born in Naples. In her heyday she was promoted as ‘the Neapolitan Horowitz’. That wasn’t quite so wide of the mark, since both artists were celebrated for their quicksilver virtuosity, but the truth is that nobody in recorded history sounded like Tipo. She was one of the great contrapuntalists, attracting acclaim for her interpretation of sonatas both in concert and on disc.
