About

Jakub Józef Orliński and pianist Michał Biel’s new album is a tribute to 19th- and 20th-century composers of their native Poland.

Michał Biel describes the music as: “Basically, a lot of very intense, very Polish, post-Romantic music!”

Repertoire features many beautiful songs by Karel Szymanowski, Henryk Czyż, Stanisław Moniuszko, Mieczysław Karłowicz, and Tadeusz Baird.

The titular Farewells cycle by Henryk Czyż is an absolute “discovery” in the countertenor voice, almost unrecognisable through this fresh lens

“Jakub Józef Orliński and Michał Biel: celebrating the beauty of Polish music” – Bachtrack

Reviews

Orliński sounds super-engaged with words and music ... the rare beauty of Orliński’s countertenor makes the whole recital and unusually introspective experience ... Indeed, the whole album is a treasure trove of poetry, with several great writers included in the Mieczysław Karłowicz group.  John Allison (Choral & Song Choice)
