“…Ullmann has been imprisoned in the 'model' concentration camp at Terezín where he set three Poems by Hölderlin to music in 1944. …the shining clarity of Oelze's voice never fails to prickle the emotions, in the meditative 'Abendphantasie' and again in 'Sonnenuntergang' with Apollo in retreat as the darkness gathers.”
