Ana Maria Martinez - Songs and Arias torrent

Grammy Award winner Ana María Martínez' dramatic range distinguishes her as one of today's most sophisticated lyric sopranos. Her career spans the world's opera houses, concert halls, recording studios and movie theatres, and she continues to engage her audiences both with her signature roles and with new and exciting debuts on stage.

“…one of the most vocally lustrous and temperamental performers of this role here since Kiri Te Kanawa’s early days. Martinez is a beautiful woman with a fascinating voice, full of velvety mezzoish half-tints in the middle and bottom ranges, with a gleaming top. She must come back soon, and often.” --London Times
