Martínez Valls's second most popular sarsuela has not stood the test of time so well as Cançó d'amor i de guerra. In the continued absence of the old and rare Alhambra LP set, the brief Blue Moon extracts, well sung by Rosich and other leading Catalan singers of the 1930's, are the only viable option.
