When I first listened to him I also got a sense of the many previous generations. I'm half Polish, in recent years I've been researching my Polish family's and country's history. Of course every nation's history is full of all kinds of events. I discovered oppression, centuries of war, heart breaking vileness, loss, heaviness. Listening to him it was as though their experiences were somehow there with him, coming through him. And it was a salve, as if their experiences and what they fought for helped bring the opportunities for living in peace, joy, and developing innate talents was realised in a great part in this young man bringing such purity, heavenly, uplifting, beautiful blessings to the world.

@Asumi Fuurin There was a time when countertenors or male altos were called the funny voice department. Not any more. Voice training techniques have changed for the better and has given us this glorious voice. Isn't he sublime?

[@sameash3153]

It's just a falsetto with disciplined air pressure control. I used to think there was some magic quality countertenors had that no other male singers had, but anybody, even a bass, can be a countertenor. I mean, I don't say that to take away from your point that it's difficult to achieve this level of virtuosity or musicality, but I really think a lot of people think the countertenor range itself is more complicated than it actually is. Too chicken to make my own recordings, but after about five months of practicing controlling my falsetto I believe I can sing competently arias written for Altos in their original pitches, and it's actually easier and less physically straining than singing in my natural register, bass.

You may not understand the libretto in Italian. You may not know anything about this character, Anastasio, in Il Guistino, or the circumstance where he sings this aria. But you felt everything you need to know in this performance, didn’t you? His undying love for his fiancée, Arianna, piercing pain and despair in his heart as he prepares for battle, fully aware that he may never see her again. In addition to his phenomenally beautiful voice, Mr. Orlinski’s ability to let us feel every minute nuance in the libretto (e.g., the way he sings/sighs the word ‘sospirero [I will sigh]’) and breathe life into the written words is nothing short of magic.

[@Sparky82]

FYI: Orliński put on baggy shorts and beat-up sneakers, and rolled up the sleeves of a crumpled tattersall shirt: this was radio, after all, and it was ninety degrees outside. Only when he and his pianist, Alphonse Cémin, who was in shorts and flip-flops, arrived at the recording venue-a courtyard with a small audience-did they learn that the performance was also to be streamed on Facebook Live. It was too late for Orliński to change clothes, and so he sang just as he was-unshaven, and dressed as if ready for a day of sleeping it off under the Provençal plane trees.

[@climate-civilizations]

Who is this deity you're referencing? This individual possesses an exceptional, innate talent and dedicated considerable effort to refine it. Introducing an external party would detract from the authenticity of his gift.

[@colegray]

@@climate-civilizations the comment does not say that the singer didn’t work very hard to get this skilled. It is undeniable that the singer possesses a greater gift than most. The comment only says that God is the origin of the innate gift and rather than genetics or chance.

[@Meirins]

@@colegraywhich is objectively false. No ‘god’ gave ‘talents’. The man was born with a physical predisposition- and a mental one that was later honed- of propensity and capability for performing such music. Just like a painter isn’t a great artist for some talent that their hands innately possess, it’s always a myriad of characteristics of intelligence, like perceptiveness and the ability to learn from prior misunderstandings, that come together to form a capable and productive painter.

Yes, this performance is actually better than his album recording, probably because he is relaxed and his friend is at the piano and he knows ever y Nuance of his friend's playing.

[@StandingRoom]

@@proverbs31woman14 - the same arguably goes for Jaroussky's take on this piece; there's a live recording on here somewhere (or there used to be, haven't checked in a while) that's, IMO, vastly superior to what's on his "Heroes" album. Something to do with actually performing to an audience in addition to a mic, I suppose.

[@proverbs31woman14]

Yes, you have a point there. I have performed live, and also in a recording studio, and recording in a studio, I can tell you that no matter how many times you do it, it always has a stilted awkward feel. You have a group of studio people staring at you through a booth. You usually are wearing headphones so you hear your voice in your head and it sounds off. When you perform live, it is almost always better! You get energy from the audience and you are performing for them. It's quite different.

There was no time to change so they did this totally off the cuff.
