Register shifts are so terribly difficult, yet Orlinski pulls it off. I subscribed years ago and have heard almost everything he's published on UA-cam.
I have loved JJO for years and you put your finger on what makes him so great. He sings at a high register, but I always felt that this a man singing, not a woman. Sincerity is a good way to put it.
hi , I am Thai but living in Stockholm. I have recently got to hear Jakub singing from youtube and yes fel in love with his singing and his sincerity. I am going to his concert here in Stockholm on 25/8 Then I saw your vdo , a very good musical explanation. I myself have sung in choir in alto but know very little about the technicality of singing. Thanks. Pim
Thank you William for sharing Jakub Josef Orlinski’s beautiful interpretation of Handel’s Baroque oratorio! What a lovely way to start the day! I must say that opera and breakdancing together is rather groundbreaking… He’s a talented, surprising countertenor full of sincerity indeed. ☺️
Miltitalentovan mladi umetnik. Fini maniri, iskren osmeh, skromnost, iskrenost i čestitost u tim lepim krupnim, prijateljskim očima. "Mens sana in corpore sano." Dok je ovakve mladosti postoji nada za čovečanstvo. Hvala Vam na objavi. 🍀
Thank you William. This is the 2nd time hearing him and he is glorious! His voice is pure and bell like. You are right about his honesty in singing. Wonderful. :)
I am jealous. I've been showing the vedro con mio diletto radio performance and a few others to everyone I possibly can. I would love to see him perform in person.
"When he sings you would literally fall in love with in. And this is not just me alone. The whole world has fallen in love". William literally I HAD to... 🥰🥰🥰
I’m not an opera fan but his voice is angelic. It’s very high and reminds me of the boys from those specialized church choirs that grew up and got a fuller voice and control. This young man definitely has a nice career in front of him.
He is immensely talented isn’t he! I’ve loved his voice for a while now and listen to him regularly. Quite extraordinary. I would love to see him live one day soon.
OH Caroline--I am so damn lucky. I didn't know him and just happened to see a You Tube Video with Orlinksi singing Purcell's Cold Song and I was blown away. The drama of his performance, his intensity, not to speak of his voice and his physical beauty) were amazing. So I listened to a bunch of other of his videos and...lo and behold, I got in the mail a program from Cal Performances in Berkeley and there he was--on March 13 , 2021 I think, (2 days before my BD!) performing at Berkeley's small concert Hall (Hertz). I didn't give a thought to the price of the ticket (I usually do!) and sat in the 2nd row. It was a very varied program and I was thrilled that he sang Purcell's "Music for a While" which my mother used to play on her 78 recording with Alfred Deller so I'd known and loved the song since childhood. He was so natural and adorable and his singing was sublime and I loved his accompanst. But I must also say that, though I am OLD (now 78) I am not dead yet and he is so damned gorgeous I was quite in love with him. Painfully. I dearly hope you get to see him I person too! From the Long-Winded Lady (an old New Yorker writer) who just moved to Spokane, WA. WHY?
2:13 I'm glad you mentioned the baroque pitch! its so unknown, many classical musicians dont even know about it. They tuned A to a different pitch back then. Listen to Rachel Podger playing the Chaconne, then compare it to Hilary Hahn's version. Both magnificent, superb. Yet you can easily hear the difference, not only in the pitch but in the way its played. Hahn plays it much more romantically (as in the era), while Podger focuses on historical accuracy. Not only with the tuning, but also using a baroque bow and baroque techniques.
I'm Korean, l just know him 24 hours ago from his cold song. I was big surprised and very impressed him. And I'm searching him now in crazy.. Wow.. his charm is overwhelmed me Now.❤❤😮😮😮😮😮I'm fan of baroque music now a days.
He's extraordinary. Discovered him 3 days ago and have been binge watching everything I can find since. I even watched the video of him break dancing. 🤯
Thank you so much William. I've been working on my passaggio and he really represents how to do it beautifully. Your descriptions were really. helpful to me both vocally a nd aurally.
Was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to see Mr. Orlinski last autumn in San Francisco in a production of Orpheus and Eurydice. A perfect match for his vocal performance and physicality. I look forward to seeing where he takes his career; the world is truly his own.
@@BangkokVoiceCoach I have been fortunate to seen him in London a few times. I’m only sorry we didn’t all stand and cheer, I’m sure we all wanted to but you know how restrained we are over here. The first time I saw him there was just a handful of people at the stage door but the last time it seems like hundreds. He really has taken the countertenor world by storm. A super man in so many ways.
I discover Orlinski, Dimash and a young man named Avi Kaplan around the same time. All three classically trained and the two tenors are just spectacular in their abilities. Kaplan had just come out of college and had just received a letter from the L.A. Opera House. The next day, he received a call form a young man who was wanting to begin a group to go to the NBC A Capella Sing off. Avi is a Basso Profundo and 1. knew there were not a lot of Bass Arias and 2. loved A Capella singing. He chose to go with the group who after many weeks of competing, won the sing off that year. He remained with them for 6 years and he fell apart from the grueling pace of recording and touring left the group. He needed to heal, and he wrote songs just for that. He found solace in his cabin deep in the forests of Tennessee and began writing. Not classical songs, but folk, Americana Folk, some western, some closer to country. It took over three years for his body, mind , spirit and emotions to heal. I go to him when I have too much pressure. I go to Orlinski for his stunning sound, and I go to Dimash for to be absolutely entertained. All three of these men are stunning in their own right and all three of them are great.
Well Pam, it seems as though you and I are a match!! What a great message you just sent me. I too was in a singing group for 6 years and how I didn’t end up in a mental institution I’ll never know. The infighting and jealousies were terrible. The touring schedule was horrible and we were at times asked to go on tour and not get paid - while the promotors and record label made money! The music business is very very tough and has little to do with music!! I’ll check out Avi. Thank you.
Very interesting and talented young man! You’re right about the Polish and singing in English. I recall the first time I visited Poland, my tesciowa (mother in-law) brought me to see a Polish choral group. One of the songs they performed was “My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean”. Only clue to this was my recognition of the melody- the lyrics had evidently been taught phonetically by a non-English speaker. Still a fond memory. I will look out for Jakub again in future. Cheers from Canada!
Очень люблю Орлинского. Меня завораживает его голос. Мне кажется, его голос идеален для барокко. Он возвышенный и строгий, лишен приземленной страстности, но в то же время мужественный. Была на его концерте в консерватории имени Чайковского, сидела на последних рядах, он пел, естественно, без микрофона, и все было слышно. И это было божественно!
He's my fave too! And you do fall in love with him, right on with that. I looooove that French recording of "vedro con mio dilleto" .....ooohh....i could just go on and on. But You look like you're just hanging out in paradise...Thailand. Yes! It's Paradise! I can't sing at ALL (sadly ...because I think it's singing that's the language of the soul. It almost hurts...but that'sthe thing...listening to JJO makes it feel better. Makes me feel close to singing and therefore to the best of humanity, its soul like I mentioned.) THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TALKING ABOUT HIM! P.S. The ambiance of your location is so great too! I'd just love to see the wildlife with their instruments!😃
It’s a good place to live but nowhere is Paradise!! Once you learn the Thai way of doing things, it becomes easier. I’ve always loved JJO since the first time I saw him rock up in his shorts to sing that Vivaldi aria. I think he changed the dynamic of classical countertenors that day!! He’s a wonderful guy. He even offered me a ticket to his Wigmore Hall recital !!!
He does shift into chest voice - but his chest voice is so bright that you hardly notice. Orlinsky hardly has a break between the registers or at least covers very well. As he gets older it will change - you have a darker chest voice and a darker counter voice too
I saw his youtube video in 2017 and was shocked in a good way. Clear, warm /velvety voice. He never gets irritating sharp. One of the best counter tenors. My favourite countertenor for 37 years James Bowman died last year. Alex Potter, David Daniels and Jacob Orlinsky are in my top 10...i live on koh samui
Just found your channel! Thank goodness! Love the demonstrating. Not to much some of the terms, though currently. But I definitely learned something! Ooh but you talked about anatomy like the phrayanx so I like that!
Orlinsky is an absolutely wonderful singer but I have discovered his equal with the young Brazilian male soprano Bruno de Sa -amazing as well - watched him in the over four hour long opera by Leonardo Vinci called "Alexander in the Indies" and I was so captivated and couldn't believe it wasn't a woman singing. Also saw him as Nero in Handel's opera "Agrippina" and his acting skills are very good as well.
@@BangkokVoiceCoach This Leonardo was not the Renaissance artist and scientist but a later baroque Leonardo Vinci who came from the deep south of Italy and was an extremely successful composer of operas mostly in Naples and Rome. Not on the same level as Handel or Vivaldi but with some extremely beautiful moments. His music is very vigorous and emphatic with marked use of trumpets and military style instruments.If you have the time watch Franco Fagioli (another wondrous falsetto singer from Argentina) sing Vinci's aria "Sto solcando un mar severo" which means "I'm traversing a cruel sea" from the opera "Artaserse" You will be astonished by the power and versatility of this man's voice though his diction tends to be a little imprecise which is understandable when you are singing at that pace and power. I have the complete performance of the opera on DVD in a French production . It's important to understand the context of this aria(song) this prince has been accused by all including his own father and his fiance of having murdered the king (King Xerxes of ancient Iran) and here he compares his predicament to being like a ship in a storm and the ship has been stripped of its sails, its rigging and its rudder etc -and its getting dark!
I happen to stumble on this castle audio performance when he stood in shorts and flip flops(Zuckerberg look alike at the piano😅). I was transfixed by his voice!!
It used to be performed for 3 or 4 nights in a row by all the big choral societies but that’s such a long time ago! How times have changed but it’s lovely to see and hear this beautiful man singing Handel, keeping the flame lit.
I was trying to think of this guy's name last week having been forced to tollerate a row of six, so-called "countertenor" listening to the baroque music used extensively in the Summer Festivals. NONE of these referred to countertenors were true countertenors. They are all falcetto, probably backed up with female hormones. Orlinski is one of the truest countertenors that I have heard in the last 50 years and a fine singer. It is a pleasure to listen to him and elevates the soul.
@@BangkokVoiceCoach incidentally, Orlinski may have the typical Polish "ski" tucked onto his name, but I really thought he was East German in origin. - that could mean anything. If I remember correctly, he had a lovely father who was a Butcher ( Metzger, in German.) - just like ? Dvorak. I remember the interviews he gave as he first created the sensation over his voice. He was a very humble person. I wonder if he has managed to stay that way.
It's wonderful. The countertenor voice has never been one of my favorites because they always sound artificial andf forced, but in their case it sounds natural. There are only a few original castrati recordings so old and poor that it cannot be appreciated; But I think his voice is exactly close. The only negative and I hope I'm wrong is that it's ephemeral since warming up your voice by breaking dancing, the elasticity of your muscles, is something you can only do now. It does not matter if it is shining with great intensity.
Hi William, In his long interviews (mostly in Polish), Jakub Orlinski quite often said that he was not a typical opera singer (he often performs with his best friends in quite a few music genres including Jazz etc. so he finds interests not only in so called classical music and is a versatile artist, although Baroque music seems to be his main interest). Hence his "jazzy" sound which seems to attract many young people to classical music. He is never going to become very "operatic" as he is just not interested in focusing on the opera only. At this stage he is still too young, energetic and he wants to experiment and taste something different as well. Hence opera purists and conservatives will always criticise him for his singing style and technique. What I can say to them... "If you do not like him as a singer, just go on and look for those you like". He gets huge enthusiasm from the audience but also get quite a lot of criticism (sometimes envy) for his approach (and looks). Well... Life is life...😁 I will always root for him as he has made countertenor singing much, much more interesting and attracted thousands if not millions of young people mostly to Baroque and classical music too. His voice is unusual, beautiful with his personality to match it.
I think he’s awesome and did from the word Go. He’s a revolutionary, challenging the tired old guard and that takes courage and a certain “don’t give a **ck” attitude. ❤️I agree with you. It’s not an operatic sound and that’s exactly why it works and people love it. 🎶
@@BangkokVoiceCoach We have to add he has a lot of respect and love for the audience and generally for the human being which shines through during his performances and interviews. He knows his roots and always emphasises that he remembers how tough the beginning of his career was. But he has made it! Thankfully😁
Hi William, I’m a great fan of the divine Jakub and love to watch your interpretations. Please could you do a comparison of the aria ‘He was despised’ from 6 years ago to the same one he sang just a week ago in Aix en Provence, which is now on UA-cam. It would be fascinating to learn how you think Jakub’s voice and demeanour has changed in those 6 years. Many thanks.
Hi William, me again, still hoping you will do the comparison of this aria sung 6 years apart by Jakub. I keep looking for it, but no luck so far. I hope you are well. Many thanks.
William, lovely to discover your channel, lucky you to be coaching in my favourite travel destination. I totally agree with your video on JJO,,,thank the Gods for youtube where we can discover more Gods. Jacob is truly a young sincere God with everything. You made my Easter Monday Hoping to be in Thailand soon. 🙏😊🙏
I had the honor of seeing him live tonight in Berkeley CA. Not only handsome also charismatic!
Not at all like a conventional opera singer!!! He has great charisma and a lovely warm personality.
Dziękuję ze tak uroczo odpowiadasz o Jakubie, naszym dobrze narodowym.🤍❤️

Orlinski has excellent diction and a rare masculine quality to his countertenor voice in my opinion.
Brilliant voice and the diction is so clear, superb

He absolutely sings with sincerity as he moved me to tears when he beautifully painted painful images of our suffering Messiah. He is wonderful.
Thank you for coaching us the untrained but otherwise delighted listeners and viewers

He is wonderful to meet in person 🥰
I would love to meet him. I had some very kind messages from him a few years ago. ❤️
Thank you for introducing that amazing young man with such a superb voice. I look forward to hearing more of his singing.
DZIĘKUJĘ BARDZO POZDRAWIAM SERDECZNIE Z POLSKI
He came to Vancouver last autumn! What a treat! I bought tickets immediately that I saw him on the programme.
Yes i played "Vedro con mio deletto" at an informal music evening and watched everyone else in the room fall in love too.
Ja, seine Stimme ist toll.Deine Erklärung😊 und eigene Stimme gefällt mir aber auch ! Der Breakdance ,alle Achtung!!! Voller Kontrast, interessant !!😊
So glad I chose this to watch. What a Voice! Those low-key ornaments are stunning. Thank You for sharing.
Thank you William. This is the 2nd time hearing him and he is glorious! His voice is pure and bell like. You are right about his honesty in singing. Wonderful. :)
I attend Clayton State University as a music major, and I had the pleasure to hear him perform in Spivey Hall, it was gorgeous!!
I’m going to start working on countertenor rep myself this fall, I’m so excited!!! ☺️
Yes he’s charismatic!! ❤️
I am jealous. I've been showing the vedro con mio diletto radio performance and a few others to everyone I possibly can.
I would love to see him perform in person.
Thank you so very much. Utterly delightful.
Glad you enjoyed it!
He’s a baroque contra tenor. Followed him for about five years. Love him. He is so cool.
"When he sings you would literally fall in love with in. And this is not just me alone. The whole world has fallen in love". William literally I HAD to... 🥰🥰🥰
Yes he’s so charismatic. ❤️
This video is absolutely marvelous, the man is everything the coach says he is. I used to be a baritone, but I'm too old now.
I think he his an opera superstar. I’ve seen him live twice. He is utterly mesmerizing.
He certainly is something: his looks as well as his vocal skills A model and breakdancer? A child of the 21st c!!! May he reign long.
Such a long way from that old style opera look of Pavarotti and Joan Sutherland!! “Child of the 21stC”. Love it!
Nie zlote dziecko, raczej czlowiek renesansu. Żadnej pracy się nie boi. 😅😊
William, this was awesome and so are you.
Glad you think so!
Wow! What a lovely voice! A pleasure to listen to him sing. 💞
We agree!

Incredibly brilliant and is masterly in his performance. This young man has a great future ahead. I love his singing.
Gave me goosebumps!

Hey - kruntep voice.. I am as mesmerized as you are .. so I am subscribing, being addicted to Thailand and to Jakob !!!
Aaaaaah, your in love with him...
It looks that way!!
I happen to stumble on this castle audio performance when he stood in shorts and flip flops(Zuckerberg look alike at the piano😅). I was transfixed by his voice!!
Ye that’s a marvellous thing that happened by accident. He thought it was just on the radio so he didn’t dress up!!
❤️
I love him too !
I love him either !!!
❤️
you love him too!
Golly. Handle's Messiah seems so -long ago-, and I used to go every xmas. Coach hears things I don't, but love hearing about it. Thank you for this
It used to be performed for 3 or 4 nights in a row by all the big choral societies but that’s such a long time ago! How times have changed but it’s lovely to see and hear this beautiful man singing Handel, keeping the flame lit.
I hear all of this and then i hear he is a breakdancer? 🤣🤣🤣
What a fun talented dude. Living his best life! you go ahead on, son!
👍
I love S'una Sol Lagrima, and Alla Gente A Dio Dilletto that he does as well.
P. Jakub wciąż zaskakuje. . Różnorodność i radość.🥰
I was trying to think of this guy's name last week having been forced to tollerate a row of six, so-called "countertenor" listening to the baroque music used extensively in the Summer Festivals. NONE of these referred to countertenors were true countertenors. They are all falcetto, probably backed up with female hormones. Orlinski is one of the truest countertenors that I have heard in the last 50 years and a fine singer. It is a pleasure to listen to him and elevates the soul.
It’s marvellous. He somehow connects it to himself and makes of meaningful.
@@BangkokVoiceCoach incidentally, Orlinski may have the typical Polish "ski" tucked onto his name, but I really thought he was East German in origin. - that could mean anything. If I remember correctly, he had a lovely father who was a Butcher ( Metzger, in German.) - just like ? Dvorak. I remember the interviews he gave as he first created the sensation over his voice. He was a very humble person. I wonder if he has managed to stay that way.
@@carolleenkelmann3829 Butcher? Jakub's dad is a graphic designer and a painter. Both of his parents are artists.
@@carolleenkelmann3829 😅He was born and lives in Warsaw. Parents are painters and grandparents are architects.
You have perfect pitch.
It's wonderful. The countertenor voice has never been one of my favorites because they always sound artificial andf forced, but in their case it sounds natural. There are only a few original castrati recordings so old and poor that it cannot be appreciated; But I think his voice is exactly close. The only negative and I hope I'm wrong is that it's ephemeral since warming up your voice by breaking dancing, the elasticity of your muscles, is something you can only do now. It does not matter if it is shining with great intensity.
Even the back row are smiling
Hi William, In his long interviews (mostly in Polish), Jakub Orlinski quite often said that he was not a typical opera singer (he often performs with his best friends in quite a few music genres including Jazz etc. so he finds interests not only in so called classical music and is a versatile artist, although Baroque music seems to be his main interest). Hence his "jazzy" sound which seems to attract many young people to classical music. He is never going to become very "operatic" as he is just not interested in focusing on the opera only. At this stage he is still too young, energetic and he wants to experiment and taste something different as well. Hence opera purists and conservatives will always criticise him for his singing style and technique. What I can say to them... "If you do not like him as a singer, just go on and look for those you like". He gets huge enthusiasm from the audience but also get quite a lot of criticism (sometimes envy) for his approach (and looks). Well... Life is life...😁
I will always root for him as he has made countertenor singing much, much more interesting and attracted thousands if not millions of young people mostly to Baroque and classical music too. His voice is unusual, beautiful with his personality to match it.
I think he’s awesome and did from the word Go. He’s a revolutionary, challenging the tired old guard and that takes courage and a certain “don’t give a **ck” attitude. ❤️I agree with you. It’s not an operatic sound and that’s exactly why it works and people love it. 🎶
@@BangkokVoiceCoach We have to add he has a lot of respect and love for the audience and generally for the human being which shines through during his performances and interviews. He knows his roots and always emphasises that he remembers how tough the beginning of his career was. But he has made it! Thankfully😁
Jacub’s rendition of Purcell’s “Music for a While” with the Kings’s Singers is also sublime. Played it about 1000 times now.
Yes it’s lovely the way it’s on zoom!
Wow !
W O W !
Hi William, I’m a great fan of the divine Jakub and love to watch your interpretations. Please could you do a comparison of the aria ‘He was despised’ from 6 years ago to the same one he sang just a week ago in Aix en Provence, which is now on UA-cam. It would be fascinating to learn how you think Jakub’s voice and demeanour has changed in those 6 years. Many thanks.
What a great idea Carla! I will do that this week.
Hi William, me again, still hoping you will do the comparison of this aria sung 6 years apart by Jakub. I keep looking for it, but no luck so far. I hope you are well. Many thanks.
Hello Bangkok, one more sub from Switzerland 🙂
I could not agree more!
William, I have really soft spot for Counter tenors Max Cencic, Andreas Scholl, Phillip Jaroussky, Alex Luna ….thanks for introducing me to one more.
I prefer this guy to all of them!!
His talent is so amazing. Who wouldn't fall in love with him
