#letsbarock - aleksander Debicz Jakub Jozef Orlinski - Vinyl LP Record (Arrives in 50 days)

“#LetsBaRock represents a fresh take on repertoire that I love, in a variety of contemporary musical styles,” says countertenor Jakub Józef Orliński. “Combining Baroque pieces with new compositions highlights their timeless qualities and their ability to entrance audiences over many centuries. I’ve always listened to all types of music, and I’m thrilled that #LetsBaRock gives me the freedom to show this side of my creative life.”

Working as a team, Orliński and pianist-composer-arranger Aleksander Dębicz have created pop and jazz-infused ‘cover versions’ of pieces by Handel, Monteverdi, Purcell, Vivaldi and their lesser-known contemporary Francesco Nicola Fago. Dębicz has also supplied three new compositions for the album, which is completed with a version of a 1990s hit by the Polish band Hey. Reinforcing the album’s pop credentials is the participation of drummer Marcin Ułanowski and bassist Wojciech Gumiński,

Among the tracks on #LetsBaRock is a new take on an aria that has played an important role in Jakub Józef Orliński’s career, Vivaldi’s ‘Vedrò con mio diletto’. In 2017 a performance on video, made in Provence for France Musique, achieved phenomenal momentum on YouTube and has since been viewed 11 million times.
