Jakub Jzef Orliski - Alla gente a Dio diletta (Il Faraone sommerso)

Jakub Józef Orliński’s debut album ANIMA SACRA is released on 26 October 2018. Among the world premiere recordings on the Polish-born countertenor’s programme is this aria by the Neapolitan composer Nicola Fago, ‘Alla gente a Dio diletta’. Sung by Aaron, brother of Moses, it comes from the oratorio ‘Il Faraone sommerso’ (The drowned pharaoh), which tells the dramatic biblical story of the Exodus from Egypt. The flowing serenity of the aria is reflected in the dream-like atmosphere of this video, directed by James Darrah. Jakub Józef Orliński, countertenor Il pomo d’oro Maxim Emelyanychev, conductor
