singers like Jakub make me understand how a salior could sail his ship into the rocks to hear a siren's voice
Strand me, mommy!
That is such a perfect way of describing how incredible his singing is, absolutely spot on
underrated comment.
You have the sensitivity of a poet
Simply. ART on CAPITAL LETTERS.!!!Bravisimo!!!!! Monster
"It's a radio show" they said,
"You can wear anything you like, they won't see you."
They actually did tell him it was a radio show.
I know. I luv him so much i watched all his videos. Even the ones i dont understand

Hands down.
Yes that's right : France Musique 3 is a radio station, playing classical music only
I love seeing a person in regular clothes do something extraordinary. It's like seeing a flower growing through the cracks of a parking lot.
Gorgeous analogy
Kind of romantic. ❤

Wow that's such a great way to put it!
Yes, that's what really took me too. Much better than when they are in suits
I just saw an interview with him. He said he was invited to sing, last minute, and the personne hiring him said "don't worry about dressing up, it's going to be on the radio". So when he arrived, it was too late to change. It doesn't matter, his voice is phenomenal and his pianist was amazing, even if only wearing flip-flop! Bravo!

This man is amazing but as a technician myself the audio technicians and mixers did an amazing job with capturing this breathtaking performance.
Very true
Yes, and outside!
The buildings somehow didn't take, absorb or scatter the sound...I thought that to myself even as a non-technician. Thx for pointing out how that actually happened😂..it sounded magik
03:13 gives me chills. I am jealous of those people who can see him perform live.

From what he is wearing, it looks like he was sightseeing the town with his mate (pianist) and suddenly found a stage with piano and microphone set up and decided to sing
exactly..he was asked - unexpectedly - to sing for Radio France - but they didn't mention about the audience - he was travelling

It is unfair, to be blessed with this heavenly voice, and on top of that, handsome as an angel... he looks as if he stepped out of a Renaissance painting, and traded his fine garments for shorts and sneakers :) I love that the pianist is dressed for summer too

So Jealous.
Same here, I'm seeing him tonight at Théâtre des Champs Elysées. It sounds unreal, I'm sooo happy to finally be able to see him performing live

@@FakherDeNamek He was. I'm still mesmerized by the 4 "encore" he made. We should have done a CZcams comment section meeting ahah
I was there too and totally agree
This is a truly timeless human being, he looks and sounds as if he just stepped down from the heavens and out of a Renaissance painting. I don’t know how to make sense of it but listening to him sing, it feels like centuries just melt away, and this raw, longing, fundamentally human emotion stretches all the way back through thousands of generations.
down bad but i get it
Well put. 👏
Just because he’s white doesn’t mean he came down from the heavens smh
@hm hm hilarious 😂,... but detracts a wee bit from op's glorious comment, saturated with illustrative descriptions of decadence, & etc.. and we don't want thattttt.😅😎 jm
When I first listened to him I also got a sense of the many previous generations. I'm half Polish, in recent years I've been researching my Polish family's and country's history. Of course every nation's history is full of all kinds of events. I discovered oppression, centuries of war, heart breaking vileness, loss, heaviness. Listening to him it was as though their experiences were somehow there with him, coming through him. And it was a salve, as if their experiences and what they fought for helped bring the opportunities for living in peace, joy, and developing innate talents was realised in a great part in this young man bringing such purity, heavenly, uplifting, beautiful blessings to the world.
His cheeky little proud smile at the end when the audience applaudes him and he knows he just killed it, so cute, also his sense of accomplishment in that moment, so deserved.
Michelangelo’s David realized he can sing beautifully.
Oh please.
A masterpiece of sculpture-song.
I thought same thing
Exactly my take. With refrigerator magnet clothes! :D
I honestly was thinking the exact same thing!
The pianist wearing flip flops makes this so much more majestic

@@Black-ft4eh
He would be considered well dressed down here in Houston.
That’s looks historically correct😉to my eyes, those types of shoes were the shoes for Japanese men traditionally, to match with their male kimono.
For anyone curious, the pianist and vocalist were not informed that this performance would have cameras, only that it would be a radio broadcast, hence the casual clothing. Honestly tho, who cares, you sound that good, you can wear whatever you damn well please
Sounds like an angel, looks like a renaissance painting, dresses like my neighbor(in style of course ksdksdk).
This was beatiful.
He looks like someone from a renaissance painting in modern clothing.
they all do!
Yes, true
Italians...
I mean
POLES...
He's Polish.
The clothing looks somewhat Renaissance open loose shirt etc.
I don't think people realize how talented this singer is and how much *skill* it takes to sing this. He literally doesn't even have a break between his chest and head voice. flawless.
Asumi Fuurin Best observation
@Asumi Fuurin There was a time when countertenors or male altos were called the funny voice department. Not any more. Voice training techniques have changed for the better and has given us this glorious voice. Isn't he sublime?
It's just a falsetto with disciplined air pressure control. I used to think there was some magic quality countertenors had that no other male singers had, but anybody, even a bass, can be a countertenor.
I mean, I don't say that to take away from your point that it's difficult to achieve this level of virtuosity or musicality, but I really think a lot of people think the countertenor range itself is more complicated than it actually is.
Too chicken to make my own recordings, but after about five months of practicing controlling my falsetto I believe I can sing competently arias written for Altos in their original pitches, and it's actually easier and less physically straining than singing in my natural register, bass.
@@sameash3153 my special quality as a countertenor is that i don't have testosterone 😌

Que dire ... ??? Mes yeux sont humides ... c'est une voix d'ange qui arrive, se pose sur Terre ... Vivaldi est divin !
It's hard to imagine they did this on the spur of the moment. They were given very little notice of the concert and they ran from a radio interview to this concert. That’s why they’re so casually dressed. And yet they turned out this superb performance. That’s why it's so famous
I love the lore behind this.
The beauty of singers and musicians who carry their instruments everywhere they go. 😊
Thats not what the French guy in top comment said he had a different story lol
@@ZireaeI well it IS what Orlinski said in a later radio interview and I’m trusting the musician who was there over some comment. Which CONFIRMED what I was saying. Radio interview, stand in performance hence the clothing. Better brush up on your French

For those who noticed flip flops i must say, flip flops existed already during Roman times, this is is the real culture man
Standards of behaviour and dress code have changed coutless times since the Roman Emire fell. I wonder what model of exquisitely made sandals (one and only, probably:-)), a 1st century Roman senator would wear to a concert at the court :-)
@@pertelote4526 almost certainly, they would.
They got booked for a studio recording. Jakub asked about the dress code beforehand. It was the booker's/agent's responsibility, not theirs. They showed up and delivered - and looked amazing, too.
The famous Flipus Flopus were everywhere in Rome.
Yes ! True! Verdad! Veritas !
My god, I'm a grown man, and I'm crying.

he looks like david by michelangelo
Just imagine that! He’s Polish!
Other singers convey their desire, JJO makes you want to BE the object of his desire, to BE his "the soul of my soul, the heart of my heart" for whom he sings with such longing passion. He owns this aria now.
Absolutely! I've listened to other performers singing this aria...and no matter how good they are, there's just no comparison, not even close. He's made this his own, and none can surpass this.
i do love his high notes but nobody’s talking about how he handles the low notes? especially at “pien di conten(to)” and “e se dal caro ogget(to)” his application of vibrato there is incredible
Quite. Reminds me a little of Callas's low notes.
a singing statue of David...
That was the first thing I thought!
Dressed like a tennis player
yes he does look a lot like Michelangelo's David, his face. Beauty and lovely voice.
I thought of that too! Legit why I clicked

@@AlexA-lz4iw what do you mean? are you asking where it says that angels sing? if so, then look at basically any description of heaven in the bible where it describes the angels singing praises to god and if that's supposedly been their main pastime since the beginning of time, then one can safely assume that they would be without an equal. (assuming of course that you believe in the bible)
[Sidenote] are you one of the people who just now found out about "biblically accurate angels" from all those memes and are now trying to flaunt that knowledge on people?
I think Alexa's comment comes from an issue of language barriers - we don't notice it but English is littered with idioms and phrases which have second meanings. For those learning English it can often be confusing trying to place these, which is what I think Alexa was asking to be clarified. I hope this helped you understand.

As a former chorus singer, this is just perfect. He flawlessly nailed this, flipping chest and head voice like it didnt matter. The fact they didn't have any time to really prepare this makes this even better lol. Im stunned at how amazing this is. Absolutely gorgeous.
Edit: I wonder if he even warmed up cause if he didn't? Wtf??? I'm even more impressed now. This takes a wide range and idk if I could ever sing this without properly warming up first. Wow. 🤯🤯🤯
The guy just belts this absolutely staggering performance clean out of nothing. It's like he and his mate saw a microphone, fist bumped and decided to blow the world away with their skill.

He is the perfect man as idealized during the renaissance. A young demi-God among us mortals.
He should rule over us
why bother the renaissance? we could idealise him now, today! In whatever interview I watched he seems an amazing person and his singing is balm for the soul.
I think my favorite part is that you can see his expression change minutely the moment he hears the start of the music. He's got a wonderful voice, and when he sings, he lets his body become like a conduit for the music. Truly wonderful.

Humanity is so lucky to be able to have art like this at our fingertips
You may not understand the libretto in Italian. You may not know anything about this character, Anastasio, in Il Guistino, or the circumstance where he sings this aria.
But you felt everything you need to know in this performance, didn’t you? His undying love for his fiancée, Arianna, piercing pain and despair in his heart as he prepares for battle, fully aware that he may never see her again.
In addition to his phenomenally beautiful voice, Mr. Orlinski’s ability to let us feel every minute nuance in the libretto (e.g., the way he sings/sighs the word ‘sospirero [I will sigh]’) and breathe life into the written words is nothing short of magic.
FYI:
Orliński put on baggy shorts and beat-up sneakers, and rolled up the sleeves of a crumpled tattersall shirt: this was radio, after all, and it was ninety degrees outside. Only when he and his pianist, Alphonse Cémin, who was in shorts and flip-flops, arrived at the recording venue-a courtyard with a small audience-did they learn that the performance was also to be streamed on Facebook Live. It was too late for Orliński to change clothes, and so he sang just as he was-unshaven, and dressed as if ready for a day of sleeping it off under the Provençal plane trees.
How lucky for us he didn't shy away from it just because there was some lack of proper communication beforehand.

People with God given talents reminding us of beauty and human potential. So impressive in such a young man!
Who is this deity you're referencing? This individual possesses an exceptional, innate talent and dedicated considerable effort to refine it. Introducing an external party would detract from the authenticity of his gift.
@@climate-civilizations the comment does not say that the singer didn’t work very hard to get this skilled. It is undeniable that the singer possesses a greater gift than most. The comment only says that God is the origin of the innate gift and rather than genetics or chance.
@@colegraywhich is objectively false. No ‘god’ gave ‘talents’. The man was born with a physical predisposition- and a mental one that was later honed- of propensity and capability for performing such music. Just like a painter isn’t a great artist for some talent that their hands innately possess, it’s always a myriad of characteristics of intelligence, like perceptiveness and the ability to learn from prior misunderstandings, that come together to form a capable and productive painter.

Yes, this performance is actually better than his album recording, probably because he is relaxed and his friend is at the piano and he knows ever y Nuance of his friend's playing.
@@proverbs31woman14 - the same arguably goes for Jaroussky's take on this piece; there's a live recording on here somewhere (or there used to be, haven't checked in a while) that's, IMO, vastly superior to what's on his "Heroes" album. Something to do with actually performing to an audience in addition to a mic, I suppose.
Yes, you have a point there. I have performed live, and also in a recording studio, and recording in a studio, I can tell you that no matter how many times you do it, it always has a stilted awkward feel. You have a group of studio people staring at you through a booth. You usually are wearing headphones so you hear your voice in your head and it sounds off. When you perform live, it is almost always better! You get energy from the audience and you are performing for them. It's quite different.
Side note: Props to the sound person. The acoustics are beautiful.
This is so deep so naturally, That’s brilliant, thank you!

What a voice! Incomparable! This is a real singer with a unique voice!
I first heard this before I was going to a summer intensive for classical singing. I had never heard a counter tenor before and I was very new to opera. Jakub is an amazing artist and never fails to inspire me. In my own work (shameless plug, but I do have a channel), I hope to achieve the seemingly effortless beauty he creates. God bless!
As a dude who vaguely know how to sing in a somewhat baritone voice , the breathing techniques , his voice is just black magic. Countless hours of training , and some voodoo sacrifice that i don`t know about ... His voice is just pure perfection .
I could not agree more. AND he's devastatingly handsome too !!

I think EVERYONE taking a closer look notices the pianist: Jakub can only reach that level because he is accompanied by someone who knows to read him fully and who has his total trust, bringing forward the best in him.
Mark Zuckerberg is a rather solid brand! ;)

And the page-turner tapping the iPad. Just a wonderful juxtaposition of everything.
He got hyped by Józef at the end
They looked like tourists on the way to a beach bar but got asked to peform real quick.
THIS IS AMAZING!!
thank you very much for this beauty God bless you amen
Tbh, them dressing casual actually makes this even more majestic. Reminds us that normal people, made of flash, can do amazing things.
This man has the face of a prince.
What a prince? The dead singer?

sometimes, when i'm too numb and depressed to feel like living, i come watch this video and it cracks my heart open a little, and lets some warmth and beauty in
Thank you for the idea! I will do the same!
Exactly why I am back here today bro!
The human condition
Oh, Yes! This beautiful and gifted angel works miracles!!

as a mediocre pleb member i would confirm that :( That's why there is only a few heroes in Homer epics, and the rest are the background
Yeah ikr? Where do we lodge complaints for the obviously unequal distribution of assets?
You can say "His," it's really okay to do that.

A singing David of Michelangelo! Sublime!

Indeed! Thank you for noticing the similaity.
wow he really is the David of Michelangelo of our century
I'm not sure that I agree --- In fact, I'm sure that I don't. But what a memorably gorgeous verbal image you have conjured up!
U spoke my mind
I can't express just how beautiful his voice is, it's like if heaven was a voice.
I could listen to him for hours.
Without question, my favorite counter-tenor, and I am particularly drawn to this video - they really nailed the sound. For those present, it must have been sublime. Every time I come across this, I go down a rabbit hole of some of his best performances.
Though I also always remember that at 4:48 his facial expression does look like a person who suddenly experiences what they have done to the Star Wars trilogy the last 20 years, all at once.
Lmao you’re exactly right that’s what his face gives off
Lol 🤣
En effet
I was mesmerized listening the music and you made me scream ahahaha
agreed, but when I was subjected to The Last Jedi I can guarantee the horror and dismay showing on my face was much greater then what Jakub displays here.
