Description

"If Music" by countertenor Jakub Jozef Orlinski brings together some of the most beautiful arias by Handel and Purcell, from "Ombra mai fu" to the mysterious "Cold Song". Performed with a refined interpretation for voice and piano, these baroque melodies reveal a new expressiveness, both intimate and luminous. Following the album "Farewells," Jakub Józef Orlinski & Michal Biel offer an album that celebrates the subtlety of their musical dialogue and the maturity of a unique artistic partnership.
