New collaboration between Jakub Józef Orliński and Il Pomo d'Oro Jakub’s sixth project features music by early baroque composers, including Monteverdi, Caccini, Frescobaldi, Kapsberger, Saracini, Netti, and Jarzębski Musicologist Yannis François researched the program and uncovered some extraordinary repertoire, now recorded for the first time (10 world premiere recordings) “With that album and this very specifically selected program I want to focus on the general meaning of word "beyond". Mostly to show people that this music is beyond its times. It is still relevant, it is still alive, vibrant, touching, engaging and entertaining.” – Jakub Józef Orliński
"The creative and attentively researched programme knits together musical and textual threads into a fast-moving sequence...Orliński carries off the programme with great élan: his bell-like voice is warm, focused and as limber as his famous break-dancing. Il Pomo d’Oro offers sinewy, high-octane playing and richly textured continuo realisations." - BBC Music Magazine, December 2023
