The debut album from countertenor Jakub Józef Orliński, Anima sacra features what are believed to be world premiere recordings of eight Baroque arias, notably by composers of the Neapolitan school. Orliński is partnered by Il pomo d’oro conducted by Maxim Emelyanychev. Orlinski was born in Warsaw, trained at New York’s Juilliard School, and is the 2016 winner of the Metropolitan Opera's prestigious National Council Auditions.
