Her Forza recording with Bergonzi and Cappuccilli is still one of my absolute favorites and the only one that compares with Tebaldi. In her prime (60's, early 70's) she was just stunning in these big Verdi roles. Unfortunately, she didn't get the big recording contracts. When you think, we have Aida with Ricciarelli, Don Carlo with Dessi, Trovatore with Georghiu, but Martina never recorded one of these (her greatest) roles commercially. Sad.
Martina was and is a DIVA, and a fantastic colleague, and I miss her at IU, and if you read this Martina, this is 'il Cubanito' e siamo cantato Ballo a Hamburgo e anche il duetto a Cincinnati- ti ricorda ?
wow! totally verdi requiem!

One of the absolutely best recordings of this very, very difficult aria.
I dont know why she was not the star she would deserved.
Ok, in her days where Price & Caballe - but TODAY-she would be a a superstar
