=============================
Gramophone MagazineMarch 2011
[Oliemans is] an exceptionally fine singer. Some of the performances - "In der Ferne", "Im Frühling" and "Am Meer", for example - rank with the best. Malcolm Martineau's contribution is beyond estimate, so strong and yet sensitive, always a special creation of his own while never losing its true Schubertian identity.
