In lontananza: Guitar Works by Sabino de Bari

By Sabino De Bari

This collection features original works for solo classical guitar by Sabino de Bari, as recorded on his album In Lontananza. The compositions blend contemporary classical structures with jazz and blues harmonies, often enriched by tickling dissonances that highlight de Bari's distinct voice as both a composer and performer.
The album blends multi-movement sonatinas with evocative themed pieces and the transfiguration of a Mediterranean aesthetic, creating a programmatic, narrative-like listening experience rather than a simple collection of standalone tracks. A defining feature of the work is its guitar writing: the music explores a personal, refined technique that emphasises colour, resonance, and subtle rhythmic articulation. This approach supports the album's atmosphere of distance and introspection suggested by the title In Lontananza ("In the Distance"), while maintaining a strong lyrical and expressive character.
Stylistically, the compositions draw from Mediterranean musical sensibilities-warmth, fluidity, and natural imagery-balancing classical forms with contemporary textures and expressive freedom.
