Tomas Sauter Glances – classical & baritone guitar Over the hills on the horizon a fine silver lining, a little later we squint our eyes blinded by the first rays of sunshine and experience the magic of sunrise. This is exactly how it feels when you hear "Sunrise Magic", the opening track of Tomas Sauter's first solo album "Glances". The title track "Glances" meanders with a wink from one tonality to another. In the same way programmatic "Shades and Shadows" follows. And indeed, the repertoire that the jazz guitarist has written exclusively for acoustic guitars is full of nuances and musical flavors. All pieces are fully composed, created over many years in a dialogue between spontaneous improvisation and classical composition, and carry you off into sometimes lush, sometimes barren soundscapes in which you involuntarily lose yourself. In a poetic timbre, the music floats organically and lightly over long arcs of tension and enchants with fascinating moods and a wide range of colors. The pieces for baritone guitar are special highlights. Here Sauter shines as a sound wizard and spoils the guitar-used ear with an unheard-of spectrum of scintillating overtones and basses. Whoever takes a closer look after the first glimpse will recognize new, deeply sharp dimensions of the multifaceted world of the guitar from a different angle.
