She married Artist Marcus Mizne, whose fine art prints are featured on several of Blumental's CDs. The two fled Nice for Brazil because of anti-Semitism.
She recorded a boxed set of Ludwig van Beethoven's complete works for solo piano and orchestra. Brazil's leading Composer Heitor Villa-Lobos dedicated his Fifth Piano Concerto to Blumental, which she performed under the composer's baton with the leading orchestras of Europe.
