Reportedly she was friends with Rita Hunter, indeed, one day I saw them from the upper slips in the Chairman's box at Covent Garden. On one occasion Martina greeted Rita with "Hiya skinny"which would only be possible if they were friends. Happy memories of many evenings of her on stage.

Yes, I watched it several times trying to see what the issue was, but couldn't see the conductor, which probably accounts for the issues, if the performers couldn't, either! You can see Mme Arroyo trying to keep time, too.

Well I do not know what you mean by "fab". As a singer I can tell you that it is certainly not top-notch for the Italian belcanto roles. But I'm glad to know you've enjoyed her Amelia.

You said it all, but flaws can always be remedied and should not impact tonal beauty, and style ... If you know anything about belcanto you should share those views. Don't you hear how her middle notes are strained and damaged? I do, as many other belcanto lovers do.
