P0268. MARIA TIPO: 18 Sonatas (Scarlatti). (E.U.) EMI 75023, recorded 1987, Salle Wagram, Paris. Final copy! - 724357502320

CRITIC REVIEW: "...I took home my first Tipo recording, an album on the Italian Ricordi label [above] of twelve sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti....'Electrifying' is too conventional a description of what I heard. Suddenly, Horowitz's much-admired championing of this composer seemed mannered. Here was Scarlatti recreated on a modern piano, caught in a golden strobe light by fingers as capable of even articulation and breathtaking speed as of a long, melting legato line. Here was a rhythmic vitality that swept away all cobwebs of antiquity and gave every phrase a dancing life."
