Perhaps unexpectedly, he is partnered not by an ensemble of period instruments but by a pianist - his long-standing colleague Michał Biel. \"On this album we have combined arias and songs that inspire and speak to us, \" says Jakub Józef Orliński. \"I love thinking of albums as pages out of my diary. They are a statement of where I am as an artist.\" As Michał Biel, who draws on all the possibilities of a Steinway grand piano, freely admits: \"If music... is not an answer to the question of how to perform these masterpieces with historical authenticity.\" He sees each aria or song as \"a carefully considered transcription that reveals it's appeal transcending instrumentation\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003eTracks\u003cbr\u003e1 Oedipus, Z. 583: No. 2, Song. \"Music for a While\"\u003cbr\u003e2 Come, Ye Sons of Art Away, Z. 323: No. 5, Ritornello. \"Strike the Viol\"\u003cbr\u003e3 King Arthur, Z. 628, Act 3: Cold Song. \"What Power Art Thou?\"\u003cbr\u003e4 Pausanius, Z. 585: Song. \"Sweeter Than Roses\"\u003cbr\u003e5 Bonduca, Z. 574, Act 5: Solo. \"O, Lead Me\"\u003cbr\u003e6 If Music Be the Food of Love, Z. 379 (Third Version)\u003cbr\u003e7 Serse, HWV 40, Act 1: Largo. \"Ombra Mai Fu\" (Serse)\u003cbr\u003e8 Rodelinda, Regina De' Longobardi, HWV 19, Act 3: Aria. \"Un Zeffiro Spirò\" (Rodelinda)\u003cbr\u003e9 Rinaldo, HWV 7, Act 2: Aria. \"Siam Prossimi Al Porto\" (Eustazio)\u003cbr\u003e10 Partenope, HWV 27, Act 2: Aria. \"Furibondo Spira Il Vento\" (Arsace)\u003cbr\u003e11 Semele, HWV 58, Act 2: Aria. \"Where'er You Walk\" (Jupiter)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jakub Orlinski\/Michal Biel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47750469845209,"sku":"5026854277103","price":39.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/0468\/3425\/files\/5026854277103.jpg?v=1772144868","url":"https:\/\/drownedworldrecords.com\/en-sg\/products\/if-music-lp","provider":"Drowned World Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
