Let's make this birthday one to remember.

93 years old (Born on December 23, 1931)

Happy Birthday, Maria Tipo! May your day be filled with as much joy and brilliance as your legendary performances of Scarlatti's sonatas—after all, anyone who can make Domenico sound fresh after 300 years deserves a celebration worthy of an encore. Your Goldberg Variations have earned you the Diapason d’Or; clearly Bach himself would applaud (and perhaps envy) such mastery.

Here's to another year tickling ivories and dazzling audiences worldwide. May life continue bringing you standing ovations—and may no one ever dare interrupt when you're mid-cadenza! Cheers to timeless talent, endless inspiration, and fingers that never tire. Buon compleanno!
