The young Polish countertenor Jakub Józef Orliński's debut solo album for Erato, 'Anima sacra', was shortlisted for this year's Gramophone Recital Award (which was won by fellow countertenor Philippe Jaroussky for his Cavalli album ‘Ombra mai fu’). 

As with his debut album Orliński's follow-up, 'Facce d'amore' (which will be released on November 8), also features the ensemble Il Pomo d’Oro and conductor Maxim Emelyanychev. 

A single from the forthcoming album, Bononcini's 'Infelice mia costanza' (from La costanza non gradita nel doppio amore d'Aminta), has been released with a striking music video, which you can enjoy below. 

As Alexandra Coghlan concluded at the end of her review of 'Anima sacra', 'this is a voice with a big future.'
