Shane, I have never heard of Tipo, however I have Biret playing Brahms sonatas, and she does a splendid job with them. I can easily see her doing Chopin well, she has nice technique.

Shane,
Further to your favourite choice of pianists, I just thought I would mention
the other evening I was listening to Angela Hewitt, playing Chopin's Nocturnes and in my estimation her playing is charcterized by the most beautiful phrasing and articulation. She seems to have just the right pressure on the keys. I think she is well worth checking out.

Though I am afriad I haven't heard Maria Tipo play.
