Born in
Baltimore, Maryland, wind quintet-in-residence at the University of Washington School of Music since 1968. Many of Goldstein's recordings were first released on
LP by Pandora Records, which was founded in 1973 and active for more than ten years. The company went out of business with the advent of the
CD. The entire archive of recordings is now available for download without restriction and can be found at many download sites, including Wikipedia (see
Commons:Category:Martha Goldstein). Often her recordings reflect
historically informed performance, employing original period instruments and tunings. She died in
Seattle, Washington on February 14, 2014. She had two sons, one of whom predeceased her, and was also survived by her husband of more than fifty years, Allen A. Goldstein (University of Washington Professor Emeritus of Mathematics, who died on January 21, 2022), four stepchildren, and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren. ==Commercial recordings==
