The Polish countertenor Jakub Jozef Orlinski is quickly gaining a reputation as a singer of striking vocal beauty and daring stage craft. He has been hailed by critics and audiences alike, prompting the New York Times to write: "Jakub Jozef Orlinski combined beauty of tone and an uncommon unity of color and polish across his range."
This concert recording reflects the greatly anticipated release of his debut album, Anima Sacra, a recital of 18th-century rediscovered sacred arias with the baroque ensemble Il Pomo d'oro.
