Farewells: Jakub Józef Orliński and Michal Biel launch their new album at the Polish Hearth Club
This week, counter-tenor Jakub Józef Orliński's new album is out on Erato. Having recorded albums of (often rare) Baroque repertoire, he has moved in a different direction. Along with pianist Michał Biel, Orliński has recorded Farewells, a disc of songs by Polish composers from Moniuszko right through to the contemporary. This is repertoire which is woefully addressed in the concert hall and Farewells reveals a fascinating repertory that few will be familiar with. On Saturday, Jakub Józef Orliński and Michał Biel performed a selection of songs from the disc at the Polish Hearth Club in South Kensington, and also talked about their musical partnership and exploring Polish music. We began with a song from Henryk Czyż (1923-2003) whose centenary occurs next year. We heard a song from his Farewells which gives the album its name; a lyrically melancholy, almost bluesy number that seemed capture a number of interesting influences. Then a group of songs Mieczysław Karłowicz (1876-1909), […]

Anglais - Jakub Jozef Orlinski: "Culture is an essential part of life"
[…] show younger people that classical music can be really amazing, fascinating, entertaining, captivating and I could list more and more things here. I am happy to see that there are a lot of young opera singers who really want to attract young public and they succeed. For me the biggest surprise was to see a really young public in the Frankfurt opera house where few years ago we had a recital with my pianist Michał Biel. The public was packed with young people who later on, during our meet and greet session admitted that it was their first classical music experience. From that point I understood that what we do is making a difference, so we should continue. You made your debut in 2017 at the Aix Festival in Cavalli’s opera Erismena. You are now back in Aix for the Easter Festival for a concert conducted by William Christie […]
