Two centuries ago Die Schone Mullerin founded the German romanticism. Since then, the great story of this young man and its tragic and poetic love keeps all its emotional strength: this heart touching version recorded live in the Theatre de l'Athenee in Paris renews the Schubert masterpiece thanks to Thomas Oliemans vibrating voice and the sensitive touch of Malcolm Martineau. Dutch baritone Thomas Oliemans graduated from the Amsterdam Conservatory, coached by Margreet Honig. He continued his studies with KS Robert Holl, Elio Battaglia and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. A regular guest at Dutch National Opera in Amsterdam, he has appeared there as Papageno in Simon McBurney's production of Die Zauberflote (which earned him their Prix d'Amis), Schaunard in La Boheme, Kothner in Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg, Peter in Hansel und Gretel and Lescaut in Manon Lescaut. A sought-after recitalist, he appears with pianists Malcolm Martineau, Roger Vignoles, Rudolf Jansen and Paolo Giacometti, amongst others, in Oxford, Cambridge, Vienna, Zurich, Basle, Antwerp, Lubeck, London (Wigmore Hall), Tokyo and Paris. A regular guest at the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, he recently presented together with Malcolm Martineau the three main Schubert song-cycles there within the course of a week, as well as Wolf and Schumann recitals.
