About This Item
If music... showcases star countertenor Jakub Józef Orlinski in 17 songs and arias by three composers of the Baroque era Purcell, Handel and Fux. Perhaps unexpectedly, he is partnered not by an ensemble of period instruments but by a pianist - his long-standing colleague Michal Biel. InchOn this album we have combined arias and songs that inspire and speak to us, Inch says Jakub Józef Orlinski. InchI love thinking of albums as pages out of my diary. They are a statement of where I am as an artist.Inch As Michal Biel, who draws on all the possibilities of a Steinway grand piano, freely admits InchIf music... is not an answer to the question of how to perform these masterpieces with historical authenticity.Inch He sees each aria or song as Incha carefully considered transcription that reveals it's appeal transcending instrumentationInch.
