"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"

"The true premise of this recital may be to display Vermeulen’s versatility; she is a rare specialist in both the 18th and 21st centuries, and she sings everything in between with understanding and character. Oh, did I mention that her voice is beautiful?"

"Listen to her beautiful legato here. Jan Philip Schulze always manages to find the right atmosphere in all genres."

"Still, there is much more to say about Vermeulen's wonderful album Dirty minds, who has a flourishing opera career, especially in Germany, and pianist Jan Philip Schulze. Straightforward is fun, but Vermeulen and Schulze are just as interested in the power of the suggestion - a dirty mind is a joy forever."

"The transition from one song to another is sometimes a bit of a switch, but it makes it a special bouquet."
