Nick Higgs The Singer 2023
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
Wow! I didn’t know that
@@nickhiggsthesinger 🤪
I believe that they both were a little hungover too....
Adding context to this, it was said that they were filling in when the scheduled musician wasn't available. They were in a radio interview and were asked to do this on very short notice.
I really enjoyed your analysis. I would also like to know more about the piece and how his interpretation is special, binge watching your channel.
He not only sounds fantastic, He looks Like "David" !!!
As I commented on the actual video of this performance : A roman statue more than a greek god as I read in comments. A very Michael-Angelo's David lookalike, the lock of hair, the gracious neck and the veins pointing out whilst singing, and then the silly shorts and sneakers he commented on many times 😀 Such a beautiful character!
This performance he gave when asked the day before to replace an artist that couldn't come and perform. Jakub arrived with his friend the pianist thinking it was just a radio program (by France Musique, french state radio for musical programs, you can see sitting in the back Freredic Lodeon, a famous producer and cello player). Though, what a performance. He's an angel
Exactly, that is why he came dressed like that. Good to know before we make some comments.
He's also a model and a break dancer
This is my favorite....I listen to this particular rendition by JJO on a French street, outside, on average 20x each month, and I seriously never get tired of or less excited about hearing it.
Orlinski has a stunning timbre which altogether with his looks makes his singing an extremely pleasant experience.
I'm an opera lover and a retired American lawyer living in Paris. I LOVED your intelligent, and informative video. MANY, MANY THANKS.
I have listened around ten performances of this aria so far. Jakub’s is absolutely the best one. This is an infinite beauty every time I listen to „Vedro…”.
I believe the full version of this video on the platform garnered over 10 million views. And this was before Jakub was as well known as he is today. If you haven’t seen him perform live, then make every effort to do so.
Genialny Jakub Orliński ❤
The opera singer and the pianist made a soulful and beautiful piece of art to enrapture the listeners.
I've seen Jakub Orlinski perform this very song, with Michal Biel, as the last of three encores. The audience went nuts! It was absolutely incredible. Not to be missed!!
Dzięki Nick! Pozdrawiamy z Polski, ojczyzny Jakuba Orlińskiego ;-)
As a British Countertenor I thought this was quite a good video... What an amazing singer he is!!
He is incredible!
I love how there are so many sounds/colors to countertenor voices - sweet and light like Andreas Scholl and Reginald Mobely, in between like Orlinski and Jaroussky, and one of my favorites who is less well known who has a very rich sound - Christopher Lowrey. Check out his Ombra Mai Fu and see what you think…
Vedrò con mio diletto - What pleasure it will give me
l'alma dell'alma mia - To see the soul of my soul,
il core del mio cor - The heart of my heart
pien di contento. - Filled with happiness.
Vedrò con mio diletto - What pleasure it will give me
l'alma dell'alma mia - To see the soul of my soul,
il core del mio cor - The heart of my heart
pien di contento. - Filled with happiness.
E se dal caro ogetto And if I must be parted
lungi convien che sia - from the one I love,
sospirerò penando - I shall spend every moment
ogni momento. - in sighing and suffering.
Vedrò con mio diletto - What pleasure it will give me
l'alma dell'alma mia - To see the soul of my soul,
il core del mio cor - The heart of my heart
pien di contento. - Filled with happiness.
Vedrò con mio diletto - What pleasure it will give me
l'alma dell'alma mia - To see the soul of my soul,
il core del mio cor - The heart of my heart
pien di contento. - Filled with happiness.
Vedrò con mio diletto - What pleasure it will give me
l'alma dell'alma mia - To see the soul of my soul,
il core del mio cor - The heart of my heart
pien di contento. - Filled with happiness.
Grazie
Благодарю за расшифровку текста 🙏🙏🙏😍😍😍
You're the first vocal coach I've seen on this platform talk about breath control and what to do about it!
Indeed ♥♥
yay for Baroque music!
Yes!!! Big baroque fans
When one cutie reacts and discusses another one, this is a tremendous delight!
I was just thinking they kind of look alike.
@@6thgraderfriends Yes, similar type.
I am a bit of an opera fan but came to it as an adult from a working-class family. I don't have an in-depth knowledge of it as music. My thoughts on it tend to be experiential or academic but from the perspective of a sociologist rather than a music historian. Baroque singing has come to be easily my favourite.
There is something in it that, while it does pop up in later music, is missing more often. There's a kind of raw fire in baroque music. It is like the music is only just barely under the control of the singer; a feeling it might break away at any moment. For me, this feature is lost in the icy but often beautiful elegance of the classical period. I think it has a brief resurgence in the early 19th century and that is ended as opera is changed from being art with a popular/aristocratic audience into art with a primarily bourgeois audience.
Good idea, to mark a hard copy with breathing points. I'm terrible at forgetting to breathe when I sing this aria, and then I completely run out of breath during one of the long phrases.
I'd never given the sound-effect of 'sospirerò' a thought, but you are absolutely right.
Nem precisa ter formação em música para saber que o canto do Jakub é celestial! 11:27
Love the easy and yet deep way in which you explain things. Very didactic.
everything is beautiful here so lifting 😢❤ i like his performance, this one and alla gente a dio diletta
It is also worth listening to another great countertenor - Michał Sławecki
Thank you. This was very educational. A pleasure to listen to.
Thank you so much! I’m happy you enjoyed i
It *
Yay, thanks for this reaction! And so detailed 😍 hoped you would do it. I will finally see him live in a few weeks in Munich.
Wow amazing! Thank you for your kind words
very interesting to learn about real story -- not a summer school program qtly! Great analysis of my favorite music video ever, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
È un miracolo❤
Curious if you've checked out the choral moments in Mahler 2? The entrance of the choir in the 4th movement is heavily! There is some really amazing stuff in there you could do a harmony builder on. Same with 5th movement, there the men really shine!
Thank you!!! 😊😊😁🥳 You have no ideea how much i wanted you to do a reaction video on JJO!
You’re welcome 😊
You did this at the best possible time, I've recently started learning this aria and I've been listening to this version and Orliński's other performance with a baroque orchestra. Thanks for the accidental perfect timing lol
Amazing! How’s it going so far?
Well, I'm naturally a tenor but I can manage alto fairly well with my falsetto. I'm learning this aria to help improve my vocal range, and so far I've been struggling a little with the jumps, and I'm not very good at trills😅
You're a little late. This post appeared more than six years ago and has more than eleven million views. A lot has changed, JJO has reached incredible heights. Perhaps it would make more sense to talk about his later achievments?
Ahh man! I hated being restricted in how to sing when i was taking part in high school choir! I understand and wanted to respect the rules of opera but to me, it seemed so rigid. The antithesis to the creativity that id found while exploring my own voice.
I didnt know in baroque music you could take some creative liberties. 😊
3:30 For me, they're somehow different in colour. Lovely voice btw. I loved your baroque trill.
Thank you! Cheers!
13:35 I love the fact that you've done an "Andreas Scholl example" with one of his arias from Giulio Cesare in Egitto (probably Empio diro tu sei, but I'm not sure) for this deep dive!
@nickhiggsthesinger can you please record a similar deep dive for one of Cesare's arias from Giulio Cesare in Egitto one day? For example, Va tacito e nascosto (its interpretation by Scholl is not only brilliant but the whole scene is also extremely hilarious).
Yes that’s a great idea, thank you! The Cesare arias are masterfully done, and Scholl is one of the best to ever do it. I have a Scholl video coming out soon (Ombra mai fu) but I will add more Handel arias to my list. Thank you for your comment!
nice one! - maybe you could run a post on ornamentations in bravura arias - such fun - like you had this few seconds of Andreas Scholls Cesare (Empio, dirò tu sei)
By a native speaker, your italian promunciation is perfect!
Ahh thank you! I was fortunate to have good teachers 😄
Да простят меня поклонники Якоба Орлинского, но это произведение Фил пп Жарусски поет ярче, нежнее, мягче и воздушнее. В других произведениях я признаю лучшим Якоба❤❤❤❤
♥♥♥
Ahh, I remember when I first time came to my teacher with this aria... It wasn't bad for that time with no experience and no vocal training with singing BUT as I listen to those old records and compare to how my voice changed over the time and how I am capable to sing this right now, it's absolutely something insane. 😅
Currently we're working on doing an album of Haendel airs I've learnt but maybe in near future we're going to record this one as well.
Wow amazing! What other arias are you singing?
@@nickhiggsthesinger Right now we are working on recording few well known arias like ombra mai fu, laschia ch’io pianga, Ave Maria both Caccini’s and Gounod’s, Orfea ed euridice, Pie Jesu, Solveig Song, I know that my reedemer liveth, Cara sposa and recently I had an opportunity to sing Easter Hymn solo part (you can find it on my channel if you want) which i believe wasn’t done by a countertenor before 😅 but yeah you can tell that i was stressed as it was my first public performance…
can you also react to this video VIVALDI // 'Juditha triumphans, RV 644: Air Armatae face et anguibus' by Jupiter
is it an altino or countertenor?
Est-ce qu'un chanteur écrit ses ornementations ? et refait tjrs les mêmes ou improvise-t-il en partie ?
Baroque = Baroak or Barok?
One thing he didn't point out is the tension that the singer has built up, its a technique error that can lead to damage
How old are you if i can ask ?
26
They could be a great couple. Both handsome and talented -)
No summer program at all😂
the sound of your voice is too loud compared to the sound of the video
The greatest singer that sings vetro con mio diletto is Jaroussky
depends on different tastes ig. to me, this version of Jakub is the best Vedrò con mio diletto. his ornamentation choice for that "Vedrò" in the repeated A section of the aria was hauntingly stunning.
@@tuan4482 He is heavily influenced by Jaroussky her.Listen to Jaroussky with a orchestra live on UA-cam if you think this is as good your taste is immature
@@doddsalfa i've listened to both of them singing Vedro multiple times, thanks😅 i would not say Jakub's heavily influenced by Philippe's way of singing Vedro tho. Philippe aims more for the chiaro side imo, using lots of pianissimo and blah blah. Jakub aims for more of a "fluid" and "slurry" kind of sound for this aria. even tho both Jakub and Philippe sing the iconic "Vedro" at the same intervals, their ways of executing it is different like night and day. love both of them, but since my taste is "immature", I still love Jakub's more.
@@doddsalfa Philippe is more like a bird while Jakub is more like a whale.
Why do you call it a reaction if youve listened to it before? should be analysis or something
Are you serious?
you have a beautiful voice, much better than Jakub
Thank you
"seriously one of the greatest singers" - no offence to Mr Orlinski who is enjoying a marvellous career at the moment, but you definitely need to listen to more singers! Among countertenors I can think of very very many who are technically more accomplished, more emotionally invested, and more beautiful-toned than him. Michael Chance, Gerard Lesne, Derek Lee Ragin, Hugh Cutting, Andreas Scholl, Iestyn Davies for a start..
Let everyone have their own opinion... Your favourites do not have to be someone else's favourites. Jakub has something which none of the mentioned above has... A clearly masculine voice colour. His technique is also different and he is not a typical operatic singer (most likely you do not like it... but it is your business and opinion). Fantastic Andreas Scholl is most likely the closest in sound to Orlinski, much more experienced and much longer in singing. However, Orlinski is someone who cannot be compared to anyone else in terms of voice colour. His voice is just unique. They way he communicates with the audience is fantastic and unique too. On top of that he is very charismatic and... innovative. He has crushed the fossilised frames of baroque music interpretation showing that this music is for everyone, not only for the narrow circle of experts. Many will not like it. Many will criticise him but... he still does what he feels is right for him. One must have a lot of courage to go on like him against all the odds...
Saying that I totally agree that all the countertenors you mentioned above are great and tremendously accomplished singers and artists (to me especially Andreas Scholl). In art and its perception, the personal preference plays a very important (if not decisive) role.
@@user-xs6hi9tr5b I don't mind people enjoying Orlinkski's singing, or having him as their favourite at all. I agree, it's absolutely subjective and personal what appeals to an individual and I wouldn't take that away from anyone if I could.
What I have an issue with is the, to me, exaggerated comments like "seriously one of the best singers" or, for that matter "he has crushed the fossilised frames of baroque music." Do you really think that he is the only singer that sings Baroque music in a way that brings it out of the era in which it was created and into the present moment?! I would politely suggest that that is massively unfair to a lot of fantastically talented and hard-working musicians.
I believe that Orlinkski is a good singer with a solid, if inflexible technique (I don't hear an effective trill from him, for example - not that that is uncommon, or the ability to sing a connected absolute pianissimo at the top of his range) and a sort of sound that is often 'held' in the typical countertenor fashion producing a slight 'honking' quality. I think the roots of this may be in his physicality. Taut muscles across the stomach can be an issue in vocal flexibility, however desirable they make the possessor!
Don't misunderstand me, I am not a 'hater' - I genuinely wish him all the best. I don't grudge him any of his success, fans, or personal happiness. I'm pleased to see countertenors doing well as I'm a fan of that voice group.
The issue I have is with the fans themselves. I don't believe the hype and I think that people are too easily influenced by a pretty face, an attractive packaging, slick soulless media presentation (they're less interested in the music/art than what they can make out of it). I listen to him without watching the videos and, for me, there's something missing, and I fear that others watch the videos and their ears tune out.
I couldn't care less about how masculine somebody sounds if they can't dig into the music and give it the life I believe it deserves.
@@olialto7 If for someone Jakub is one of the best singers ,why should not he be? That person has the right to say that... No matter if you personally like it. I do not have problems with his trills... I would say even more, they are very clear, very instrumentally sounding due to his use of straight tone. I have heard many of his CD recording... I do not miss anything. Obviously, he is charismatic (for some also very handsome) and when you see him on stage, it always adds something because he has a fantastic stage presence.
I like his emotions which are quite straightforward, not overcomplicated, without unnecessary exaggeration. I am also an educated musician, so more or less, I know what I am talking about (at least I hope so... lol). I am not an oracle though. The personal taste plays the leading role in finding your favourite artists. If you look for typically operatic artists, Jakub is not the one who is going to convince you. There are many fantastic artists who will meet your requirements and satisfy your taste. There is always a freedom of choice here and those who work hard may get lots of recognition too. Jakub has not stolen anything from them.
The effect of digging into the music is also the reflection of someone personal taste. It will be different for different people.
A masculine sounding countertenor is a rarity. It makes Jakub special in a way. Well... Let be ourselves in our personal tastes, perception and expectations and we all will be happy and satisfied:-)
It's "barock" rather than "baroak" and why is the pianist pedalling? There were no pedals (no pianos!) when baroque music was composed. Is it OK to pedal when performing baroque music in today's musical environment?
