Polish Singer!!
…I’ve been transported to the heavenlies…
Pure class and top talent!!
o kurde, Polak :0
@Fru Gal Orlinski has released a number of CDs. If I remember correctly, he's released this aria as a single. This recording got a lot of attention. It's called 'Vedro con mio Diletto' by Vivaldi
What is the most impressive is that this is a Vivaldi piece that is not Four Seasons. Vivaldi will be ecstatic.
So true 😂
Vivaldi?? *Like the Four seasons?* *can you sign my shirt, not your signature but just "four seasons"* 🤓
Some people may be surprised to learn that he composed anything else. 😄
@@naomigwolfe8112 🤣😂
As a bassoonist i can think of about 37 concerti that aren't the four seasons that are getting plenty of play
For this performance, Jakob have said in an interview that he didn't know that there were cameras, originally it was a radio broadcast without visual support. He was to sing in the middle of summer in the region of Aix-en-Provence in France. That's why he sings in everyday clothes and that the pianist plays piano in flip flops.
"without visual suport" a waste with that appareance.
@@linablues6881 for sure !
Plus, in Aix, I lived near here for almost 15 years, the weather is hot as fuck, and lighr clothes are a must
I’m honestly more shocked about the pianist cause usually playing in flip flops is a nono
so... literally a zoom meeting
The pianist getting "in character" and doing the elegant wrist and hand movements while wearing flip flops. Love it.
I was about to say the same, thanks❤😂
That's technique, not for show.
Like the person said above, it’s just the technique for playing piano. It makes it easier to move and press keys (I’m a pianist myself)
Called playing with your body.
Still love the vibe but that’s just how piano looks when you’re playing it correctly, especially for such an emotional piece!
The outfit. The pianist wearing flip flops. The voice. This is perfection
Deve ser um ensaio.
The singing didn't feel 100% all the time. I'd say 96.5
What a contrast) Gorgeous, love it
They couldn't have dressed up or they'd bust into flames or something
They thought it would be just for radio but when they got there they found out it would be camera broadcasted as well... That was the result and we love it haha

AGREE❤
he is 😀
Foi exatamente o que eu pensei quando o vi!! I-GUAL!!!
All jokes aside, singing like this is incredibly technical and requires tremendous vocal skill.
What jokes?
Perhaps the caption's "too literally" angelic. I found that description needlessly condescending and possibly tin-eared. In 2024 counter tenors are not exotic creatures; anyone with passing familiarity of Baroque vocal music should have some appreciation of them. @@divxxx
Thanks for clarifying that I assumed it was pretty easy until I read this.
And also lots of study, technical training and probably some nights without sleeping. This is the result.
Yes. I wonder if he started as a choir boy.
I never expected to read the sentence, "Jakub Józef Orliński is a Polish operatic countertenor singer and breakdancer."

Even if you understand nothing about vocal technique it should still be pretty obvious that this is INSANELY difficult. His form is flawless and many vocalists spend their entire lives to get even somewhat close to this level. Damn, very impressive.
I prefer the banjo
I could tell from the vein bulging in his neck that this wasn't easy.
Yeah I know extremely little. Only thing I know is tenor means high pitched voice is gonna be there. No way in hell could I do this, maybe not ever idk.
Flawless form doesn’t tend to have that tight of musculature in the neck
Is he countertenor? Sound higher than regular tenors and more relaxed…

Exactly! As in he looks like Michaelangelo's "Adam " on the Sistine ceiling...

So beautifully described.

The story behind this performance is very interesting. The boys were in a radio interview (and dressed for radio) when they were asked to fill in for another musician at this lunchtime concert in Aix en Provence in France. There was no time to change so they did this totally off the cuff. It shows what consummate professionals they really are
Off the cuff in cut offs
Thanks for the backstory Rio. It adds another layer of interest and amazement to what we are watching!! 😇

What an absolutely gorgeous countertenor voice. It might sound a little weird but I also really kind of like the breaths that he puts in. I'm a classically trained mezzo soprano with asthma, and one of the biggest things I've struggled with my whole life has been really long melismas and sustained notes, because I often just can't get enough air and breath support to make it all the way through. I've always been self conscious about it, and it was one of the most consistent notes I got in college. But honestly? This makes me feel a lot less self conscious about it. On more than one occasion I've had to add in breaths where they weren't written, and it always kind of felt like cheating in a way. But here he allows himself the time he needs to breathe, and it sounds completely relaxed, natural, and absolutely stunning.
I'm the same as you: a classically trained mezzo with asthma! I wasn't diagnosed with asthma until my 2nd year of college (when I suffered a severe, prolonged asthma attack).
I took one lesson with a "top-tier" voice teacher during my 1st year of college (before I was diagnosed). At one point she asked me, "Do you have asthma? No? Then stop inhaling so noisily." It took all my composure not to burst into tears. Turns out I DID have asthma...but she was so unkind about something I had no control over.
@@joker6solitaire Oh man that's absolutely awful. Sadly there are really talented people out there who make very cruel teachers, and even if they are a "top" instructor, it means very little if they break their students' confidence and belittle them instead of working together with them where they're at. I hope you were able to continue your studies with a kinder teacher - thankfully I've had incredible luck in that area. Finding the right instructor who sort of "speaks your language" makes a WORLD of difference.
Giving me chills. What a voice! The flip-flops while playing the piano is perfect. Reminds me of the workers that gutted my kitchen.

I saw him in concert a few weeks ago, and it was INCREDIBLE. The singing, of course, but also the dancing.
I was honestly not expecting that…how incredibly beautiful.
For those wondering : he’s singing a major third lower from what is written in the score
I was not wondering as my ear is not that good and definitely not absolute. But thank you!! The piano is also transposed, right? Else all the armonies would have changed
Yes, interesting, I wouldn't have noticed...it seems that the whole thing is being transposed down a third, from D major to Bb major. Two flats instead of two sharps, go figure.
ahhh -- ok. It felt weird, because the piano didn't feel like a b minor. I don't know why, but it felt like a "flats" minor, not a "sharps" minor
Haha I noticed that too! I heard Gm at the beginning and my eyes popped out of my skull when I saw the Bm key signature!
If you compare the studio version, you'll hear the difference.
Imagine going to fight this guy at a bar and he just busts out the angelic voice. Your knees would buckle and tears would stream from your eyes as he forced you to remember that time you were mean to your mom on her birthday.

Probably the nicest countertenor voice I’ve ever heard. Nothing quite like that particular sound. It’s kind of uncanny, all the richness and darkness of a male voice but in this piercing, lyrical range.

You need to hear more counter-tenors and (more rare) male sopranos - e.g. Iestyn Davies, Andreas Scholl, Valer Sabadus, Max Cencic, Bejun Mehta etc etc (I've deliberately picked a variety of different styles and approaches).
I would suggest listening to Philippe Jarrousky. His Vivaldi renditions are phenomenal, amongst others.

I'm so glad that the algorithm dug way back into my watch history to recommend this! Instant fan of Jakub! This was so well done! Great performance!
I'm obsessed with how the pianist is using an ipad for the piece, and the woman swipes the screen much like they would swipe the page in the olden days 😭 funny how with the technology it's different and yet much the same
It's time saving for pianists to use swipe control devices.in that way, they can focus more on playing, no distractions whatsoever 😊
my boyfriend is a pianist and there are nowadays page turner pedals which are used my feet like the pedals of pianos 😊
Bro is playing with flip flops omg howwww
there are apps to put the time to the page turn it self
Yeah, I’m interested to know about the relationship between the player and page turner. She’s like right in there with him. Would she be a peer? A teacher? A trainee? I guess it’s hard to remember all the notes but I’d find it hard to sit ‘in the pocket’ with someone that in the space with me that isn’t also playing.
Imagine having a neighbor with such a heavenly voice
Haha, my neighbor wasn't so lucky
You would love him for a week then you would file a complaint. It takes thousands of hours of practice to get good at something, you just enjoyed the 5 minutes of perfection that came out of it, and avoided all the long and excruciating process.
It did not sound like a heave I thought it was heavenly.

Actually!!! It is angelic, funnily enough. Countertenors (or basically boys who can sing like girls) are said to have the voice of angels because of how androgynous it is. They’ve been sacred since the 16th century. So yeah there’s your fun fact :)
What a rare talent there is. So magnificent. This is timeless classic
I seriously have goosebumps right now the music seriously put me in a trance the music was beautiful and so is your voice sir keep practicing you are amazing God has given you such a beautiful talent and a gift never lose it

perhaps you can check out the chinese singer Zhou Shen then. you will be mind-blown!!
definitely not just a natural gift though. Talent can only get you so far, but to reach this level there was 100% a lot of time and effort into perfecting his technique.
@@poodle5421 Chopin University of Music 2009-2014, finishing with a Masters in Baroque Music then went on to Juilliard for another 3 years.
According to another classical professional singer, he's actually flawed in technique or rather training. Even though the quality of the singing is top notch, you couldn't expect him to sing a 3h Opera without his voice failing eventually.
@@Raaschid opera singers have this misconception where if it's not opera, it's incorrect. Look at opera today, they are all incorrect. Regardless, this guy is a master baroque singer. Why would he use opera technique to sing three hours when he is a baroque singer?

this music strangely makes me want to live long and see a lot of beautiful things in the world
I have always loved a countertenor voice.....nothing more beautiful.
I prefer guys with male voice.
It’s great that musically trained people listen to music like this glorious performance, but so sad that all they hear are the “errors” and only want to show how clever they are and don’t seem to want to praise the beauty of the performance . Maybe it was a class exercise to spot the difference, but in any case I hope that people with musical knowledge allow themselves to enjoy the music and not just to analyse it to death.
When you're learning performance it's so hard to just sit and enjoy the music when you're beaten on the head with all the technicalities of it. As much as I enjoyed singing and learning to play an instrument I didnt like being constantly reminded of my inferiority. I took a private lessons teacher that wouldn't let me get past a single set of notes without playing it almost exactly to their standards. It's great for a learning but doesn't make it fun to practice and experiment with the music.
I get the impression that a lot of classically-trained musicians end up hating music and other musicians.
...unfair ,a listener merely noted the singer sang the melody line lower....Frank Sinatra did that with some Hoagy Carmichael songs .....lower and slower.....added to the musicality of performance.
Vivaldi picked a key , these singers sang another set of notes that is ,another key.
Each "key " has its own colour.
@john blaine As someone who started out being classically trained, this comment resonated with me. When I was young and learning, I had natural ability (talent) that showed an affinity for music, so my parents had me in voice and violin performances early. At first, it was fun learning terms and how to recreate a piece with my voice or violin, getting praised for the final performance. However, despite having natural ability that seemed to take to even difficult music easily, there were so many course corrections done along the way for every single song (not just for myself, but for the group when playing with an orchestra or singing in a chorus) that it really did become almost like a burden to be around music. I had to take a break from it because I LOVED music and wanted to love it again. Unfortunately, a lot of people (several who I personally know) who continue with the rigors of classical training end up moving into the land of Hubris where their accomplished pieces, years of work with this or that maestro or maestra, and library of technical knowledge become their whole identity, which they have to share with EVERYONE whether they ask for it or not.
The best thing I did to break away from that so I could actually enjoy music again was join a church choir where the conductor pointed out that I was technically correct when I sang, but there was no character, no true individuality to my performance. He taught me how to feel the music, be moved by it, and then put myself into it. I had never had that kind of encouragement before and it was life changing. Now, I can actually share something I love with my children in a way that fosters their love for it, too. There is value in knowing the technical aspects of music, but living in that world too much kills the appreciation of it (from what I've experienced and seen).
I appreciate this comment thread. I too as a young adult had a similar internal experience. Somewhere along the way I had lost the innocent love for beauty and I twisted music performance, technique, and knowledge into a self absorbed identity idol. I literally felt so much freedom when I changed majors from music in college. Music doesn’t play as large a role in my life as it once did, but I’m hopeful that I will continue to find healing in Christ, the creator and remaker of all things, and once again be able to enjoy music innocently and partake in it in thankfulness as part of God’s good created order. I will say, as Donna above did, that choral music did have a special way of opening up beauty while leaving behind the shackles of self absorption.

@@AbsintheRed2019 I bet they told him, “Whatever you do, don’t sing- it’ll give you away”
@@alunalalune8691 give me away to him 😭
@@SinfulCadence 🤣🤣 bestie he ain't mine
He lowkey hot in a highkey way.
Never thought i'd tear up to some singing but this dude got the best of me
I can just imagine this inside of a cathedral. The acoustics must be otherworldly.
I’ll be honest, I didn’t know it was possible to sing a trill like that until this moment.
Man is playing his voice like a percussive instrument there on some of the trills
Yess i was so amazed with the trills 🔥🔥🔥
The trills were so simplified, yet so bold and executed perfectly. Best part for me.
Thanks for that comment, Cameron
I listened to this with headphones on; at 2:15 he sent his voice up into the stratosphere and I almost didn't survive it. Oh my word that was amazing.
THIS! I had the privilege of hearing that with headphones
@@charliesssss Did it yank you off the ground too?
I read your comment before finishing watching the video, and waited for that 2.15 moment and ..........Blimey ! nearly knocked me out of my seat ! 😆😆😆But he has a Lovely voice. Lovely old song...........And salute to the pianist.
@@maryfiaola3686 There's some mighty power in those lungs, isn't there?!
0:33 too
Voice gives me chills dude fuckin awesome man. Wish more people in the world still valued talent like this instead of internet garbage. Keep on keeping on I'm rooting for you!
this is the most beautiful thing i've ever heard come out of anyone's mouth.
I fully expected him to start floating off into the heavens with the way he was singing. What a gift.
Just boxer briefs would be great too
"gift"
@@DieselDog1982 ok dieseldog
Man I was just thinking how funny it would be if he just took off and flew away by the end with that same slightly detached, melancholically surprised look on his face …
@@DieselDog1982 beach thats creepy
2:15 The way he goes higher db, his voice is so smooth there's no tearing, it's almost as if you're just sliding a volume bar in a computer, which still isn't perfect enough to replicate this.
A month old comment but...could I ask what tearing is? Or what it may sound like? Just curious and thought I'd ask someone who seems to be more knowledgeable and can break it down for someone who isn't well versed in musical terms :)
@@Otsena I'm not completely sure myself (being a layman also), but if I had to take a crack at it, they are referring to the audio itself. So they are complementing both the singer, as well as the recording hardware. When you record really high decibel sounds, they can "tear" meaning lose quality and have random pops and scratchiness. Even a small amount of audio tearing can exacerbate fluctuations in the singers voice too.
@owenstevens7151 i kinda thought they were meaning to say his crescendo was smooth haha
@@Otsena in crescendo when you fail to reach peak properly and have a crack, break or skip.
I think it may be that there is no break in how the vocal cords "slide up" into a high range without having to change to a falsetto or something. This a wild guess on my part, and I don't know this stuff, but I am very sensitive to the differences in how voices move through various ranges. The gift of these vocal cords and probably his care for them has produced this beautiful sound.
😭That voice could make stones weep.
Beautiful
Orlińsky is arguably the best young countertenor in the world. This off-the-cuff performance is just sublime
PLUS he is a pretty good breakdancer!
I agree with you completely. His voice is amazing. I have no idea how he can make these impossibly hard pieces sound so light and full at the same time. I hope I will be able to hear him live one day, maybe even as the soloist together with the King's Singer. :) Well, one can dream... I'm glad there is CZcams, at least.
@@interroga-te-ipsum I saw him sing a couple of weeks ago and it was genuinely magical. He had the audience completely wrapped around his finger - when I was leaving the recital hall I heard an older lady say she'd never heard that particular hall go that crazy before. Definitely go see him if you ever have the chance! Fair warning though: his final encore was so beautiful that it made me super emotional, so before leaving I genuinely had to lock myself in the bathroom to have a little cry :')
Definitely one of the best castratos I've heard.
@@RealNovgorod not castrated! Definitively not!😂
2:14 Imagine hearing this as you stumble out of the deep, dark woods and into a magical glen filled with buttercups and the dreamy susurration of a nearby river. You'd think you'd died and ascended into heaven.
that's such a beautiful image 😩
Oh my goodness, you put it best 😍😭
You just rise to like the eighth plane of reality and then some.
It's a musical classical apelation and ode to the art of music 🎵🎶🫂🎶
The kind of performance that will give you goosebumps even if this is the kind of music you don't like.
Honestly, the dude sings and looks like an angel!
He is also a great breakdancer.
angels sing like little old ladies? didn't know that
@@Marcel_Audubon yes, if you are imagining an old lady with an unusually beautiful, clean, and powerful voice that she has retained despite her age
@@AK-jl2wm nope, that wasn't what I was imagining, dearie. I was imagining your run of the mill little old lady, which is what Little Lord Fauntleroy here sounds like
@@Marcel_Audubon then go somewhere else. it's clearly not your thing so don't bother
The casual dress, flip flops and sneakers helps bring this classical music into present time and touch a younger audience with its beauty.
I'm remembering a story that he had shown up in those clothes during a summer heatwave expecting to be performing for a radio broadcast and was ambushed by the presence of a concert hall audience. Don't know if it was this same performance.
@D Witte You are correct, it is this one.
Absolutely gorgeous! And I am SO glad this is NOT Four Seasons as that piece puts me to sleep.
I'm not even into this kind of music, and this gave me chills
Bropera. A thing none of us knew we NEEDED in our lives. I am grateful to these young men for inventing it.
It's just opera
@@ASMRyouVEGANyet no it's clearly bropera...
@@sweetgirl070707 No it is baroque opera
If you came up with that term yourself, i take of my hat to you.
''BROPERA'' was divine
Such a rare gift ---- His breath control incredible ----- The notes simply flow from him so naturally. A powerful voice but he knows how to restrain that power and when to use it for maximum impact.
Imagine being in the audience to experience such a voice?
Damn what a gift!!!!!❤
Yeah, I think he might be one of the rare "Counter Tenors" that were basically Altos and Sopranos before women were allowed to do those sorts of things
Truly a gift indeed
This is not a gift, this is a skill. Calling it a gift would cover up the amount of improvement and practice this guy has
@@TheLionCannon Perhaps a honed gift, as we can't ignore that what he's achieving is just not possible for the majority no matter that amount of training.
@@TheLionCannonEven if you had all the training and dedication in the world, you could never match Lionel Messi, Pelé, Ayrton Senna or Michael Phelps, Got It?
He sounds like there’s angels coming down to us
Just when I was about to give up on the internet it totally redeems itself.
Jakub Józef Orliński (born 8 December 1990) is a Polish operatic countertenor singer and breakdancer. He has performed leading roles with many opera companies, including Carnegie Hall, Metropolitan Opera, Royal Opera House, Warsaw Grand Theatre and Oper Frankfurt.

Dancer???!
@@ferma5101 not just any dancer... Breakdancer 😆
Well-deserved
Good to know. At first I thought he was lip syncing! Good to know I was wrong.
Totally amazing how much talent just one person can have. Not to mention, he's also quite good looking.
I've never heard a man sing in this range so beautifully. I play instruments and don't sing, so correct me if I'm wrong but the entire piece was an insanely impressive falsetto.
No, countertenor is a rare vocal range, he's not singing falsetto
@@apowellintheweeds Counter tenors sing in falsetto, or head voice if you will.
@@Opuskrokus Aren't those two different things?
@@FxdGearQueer Not really. You can't have one without the other.
He is using Mixed voice. The note is resonating in His chest, and his head. That is why He the note at 2:15 sounds so full. Mixed resonance takes awhile to truly master, and sounds breathtakingly beautiful.
Singing like an angel indeed, and he's a handsome angel too.
I was curious and the moment he started to sing, I wanted to scroll on, but I stayed to listen. It grappled me, thank you
Why do i want to see him sing this dressed in one of those white togas you see in those classic Roman art on ceilings? Simply beautiful.
Imo he us classically beautiful.
This is a Vivaldi piece of music, it's from the 17th century not roman. It would be more period appropriate if he wore a powdered wig lol
@@hi-ve1cw I think it's because he has the face/head of something from a piece of Renaissance art. He kind of looks like a living statue/sculpture/bust from that time period, possibly depicting a character of even older origins.
@@hi-ve1cw You are aware renaissance was the goal to reach the heights of the classical period in terms of culture and such?
@@dennisshigeno2875 vivaldi was post-renaissance. He was Enlightenment era
Wow. As an opera singer by hobby, this man has one of the most amazing voices I have ever heard. I truly don’t think I’ve heard anyone who matches him.
Do you like Dimash?
There's a vtuber called ironmouse who's sang a few songs with opera I recommend you give some of those videos a try :D
@@khlilg.h9780 💀
You might enjoy Dimash Kudaibergen. He mixes opera with other genres but has a lovely voice.
@@alacatooo machita chima also do some amazing singing
Sounds insanely hard to perform but he does it so effortlessly and beautifully
