    The young Polish countertenor has risenspeedily to stardom: earlier this year hemade his Glyndebourne debut as Eustazio inHandel’s Rinaldo and recently released hisdebut album Anima Sacra with the period-instrumentensemble that accompanies himin this programme.

    ‘Facce d’amore’ is the musical pictureof a male lover in the 18th century. Theprogramme focusses on different aspectsof love, ranging from joy to madness, angerand even craziness.
