For this performance, Jakob have said in an interview that he didn't know that there were cameras, originally it was a radio broadcast without visual support. He was to sing in the middle of summer in the region of Aix-en-Provence in France. That's why he sings in everyday clothes and that the pianist plays piano in flip flops.

[TheAkumaChan]

What is the most impressive is that this is a Vivaldi piece that is not Four Seasons. Vivaldi will be ecstatic.

[N.I.R.A.T.I.A.S.]

Music that's nearly 300 years old being performed by two guys in their 30s who look like they're heading to a beachfront bar immediately afterwards. Love it.

[elsagreen]

The pianist getting "in character" and doing the elegant wrist and hand movements while wearing flip flops. Love it.

[chrispysaid]

I never expected to read the sentence, "Jakub Józef Orliński is a Polish operatic countertenor singer and breakdancer."

[riohenry]

The story behind this performance is very interesting. The boys were in a radio interview (and dressed for radio) when they were asked to fill in for another musician at this lunchtime concert in Aix en Provence in France. There was no time to change so they did this totally off the cuff. It shows what consummate professionals they really are

[goofballbiscuits]

His outfit screams "do you know who my father is?!" But his voice begs you to crash your ship into the rocks. Beautiful.

[froufroudeluxe]

The outfit. The pianist wearing flip flops. The voice. This is perfection

[CharlieTooHuman]

Dude embodies the whole “I’m just here for the food and alcohol but somehow ended up on this stage” vibe
EDIT: Apparently that is not too far off from the actual story

[annemurphy]

This man looks like he stepped out of a Botticelli painting, and he sings like one of the heavenly choir. Just beautiful!

[spiderdude]

Even if you understand nothing about vocal technique it should still be pretty obvious that this is INSANELY difficult. His form is flawless and many vocalists spend their entire lives to get even somewhat close to this level. Damn, very impressive.

[jeshie]

All jokes aside, singing like this is incredibly technical and requires tremendous vocal skill.

[mariepanettieri]

I heard the original Radio France recording on the radio in my car and just broke down in tears. I'm a nurse and I lost a patient that night, I was a wreck and just ready to go home and cry myself to sleep. Then this came on, and the sun was rising and the sky was so beautiful after a long dark night shift. It reminded me that life was so precious and stunning. I slept like a baby

[fakename]

Imagine going to fight this guy at a bar and he just busts out the angelic voice. Your knees would buckle and tears would stream from your eyes as he forced you to remember that time you were mean to your mom on her birthday.

[clover-hq]

this man is exactly what I imagine Orpheus to look AND sound like

[GeneralKenobi]

That guy is like the living 2023 equivalent of a Michelangelo statue

[mickiejade]

When he sings, he looks like he can see past the veil of the universe. So casually, like it ain't a big deal

[leandroperalta]

For those wondering : he’s singing a major third lower from what is written in the score

[corvus]

This guy is a professional break dancer. It's not fair that he can sing like this, model, and dance, too.
