{"product_id":"farewells","title":"FAREWELLS","description":"With Farewells, Warsaw-born countertenor Jakub J�zef Orlinski, partnered by pianist Michal Biel, offers a panorama of Polish song. Often nostalgic in spirit, the programme of the album spans 150 frequently turbulent years. \"Michal and I started exploring the Polish art song repertoire when we were at the Juilliard School in New York,\" explains Orlinski, whose recordings until now have focused on the baroque era. \"As a Polish duo we love to present Polish music to our public. I know that no language can present a barrier when it's set to music. I believe that music builds bridges and I am sure that those songs will get under the listener's skin.\" The album takes it's name from a triptych of songs written in 1948 by Henryk Czyz, who joins five other composers on the programme: Stanislaw Moniuszko (known as the 19th century's father of Polish opera), Karol Szymanowski (recognised around the world as a major post-Romantic composer), Mieczyslaw Karlowicz, Tadeusz Baird and Pawel Lukaszewski, a leading figure in contemporary Polish music.","brand":"ERATO","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":51720126660888,"sku":"190296269714","price":18.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/4088128-2821881.jpg?v=1771962691","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/farewells","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
