#LetsBaRock – Jakub Józef Orliński & Aleksander Dębicz
Philharmonie Berlin, Chamber Music Hall (Berlin)
You’ve never heard baroque music like this before: in a concert titled #LetsBaRock, countertenor, model and breakdancer Jakub Józef Orliński presents arias by Henry Purcell, Claudio Monteverdi, Georg Friedrich Händel and Antonio Vivaldi in a new rock arrangement. Instead of harpsichord, lute and strings, he is accompanied by a band consisting of piano, bass guitar and drums. The settings are by composer and pianist Aleksander Dębicz, who, like the countertenor, is at home in many musical styles. But whatever the era of the instrumental accompanyment – in this programme, Jakub Józef Orliński can display the remarkable beauty of his voice.
