I am very happy that you are spot-lighting an exceptionally talented musical personality who is not a "mega-star" of the international music business, but one who deserves recognition for her multiple talents as a conductor, composer, administrator, and recording producer. From my brief stays in London a decade ago, I recall Ms Martinez's work with the Lontono ensemble, and I also recall her championing orchestral and operatic works by Dame Ethel Smyth -- including the opera The Wreckers which is just about to celebrate its centenary. I also own, and highly admire, Ms Martinez's CD of three short operas by Judith Weir, and wish that her own opera on the life of Sister Aimee were commercially available.<BR/><BR/>Now how about a future post on Susanna Mälkki and her efforts on behalf of opera, contemporary music, and contemporary opera? And I'm sure other readers can think of other highly talented women conductors and musicians out there who do their work away from the big music business spotlights but who are deserving of more prominent guest conducting invitations as well as music directorships.Garth Trinklhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11084463787729969177noreply@blogger.com
