Anima Aeterna by Jakub Józef Orliński – sacred arias & motets of the 18th century

Discover Anima Aeterna, an adventurous album of 18th-century music, here: The project follows in the vein of Anima Sacra, which in 2018 decisively announced the countertenor’s arrival as a recording artist. Its program – music by Zelenka, Handel, Fux, and the little-known Gennaro Manna, Francisco António de Almeida, Bartolomeo Nucci, and (on the LP version) Davide Perez – contains several world premiere recordings. Joining Orliński in Zelenka’s sparkling ‘Laetatus sum’ is the captivating soprano Fatma Said, and Francesco Corti conducts the orchestra and chorus of Il Pomo d’Oro. Video: Andiamo / Michal Wieckowski
