"I was generally won over by the music making. It is superbly sung throughout by Olivia Vermeulen... It is an intimate, playful programme, beautifully performed"

Straightforward is fun, but Vermeulen and Schulze are just as interested in the power of the suggestion - a dirty mind is a joy forever."
