Overview
Jakub Józef Orliński prompted the Guardian to commend ‘the unearthly beauty and cool sensuality of his astonishing voice,’ while the New York Times concluded that he ‘sings like an angel’. The superstar Polish countertenor and regular duo partner Michał Biel join forces to probe the pathos and power of songs from the British Isles.
