Notes
"In Volo" is an album that offers one of the most complete exhibitions of the expressive possibilities of the solo sax. Moving from tenor, to alto, to soprano, Roberto Favaro offers us a kaleidoscope of multifaceted and multicolored sounds that take us by the hand and accompany us on an absolutely fascinating musical journey. But also engaging, thanks to a sound recording that guarantees direct entry into the large Hall A of the MagisterArea studio in Preganziol, which with its natural reverberations helps to create the different and most suitable atmospheres for each interpreted piece. But let's leave the most heartfelt description of the project to the direct words of the interpreter and author Roberto Favaro:
"Over the years, through various experiences and musical collaborations, I have realized that the boundaries and labels of various musical genres are less rigid than they may seem, and so I have developed my own idea of contemporary music, or at least what it means to me. I intend to give a broader meaning to the definition of contemporary music in order to expand the concept of contemporaneity to the music of our time which, regardless of the type of musical writing, captures and expresses the moods, the various influences and contaminations between the styles of our era, making us experience the music of the present. A flight with open arms through the last forty years of Italian music, touching on some of the compositions that I feel closest to me, both for the relationship with melody that I have always sought over the years, and for the collaboration with the composers of the selected pieces, which allowed me to feel them closer to my way of playing. Among my compositions, I have chosen those that in my opinion express these concepts, from the descriptive "In volo" to the blues influences of "Sale Blu" and the contemporary style of "Improvvisamente... Niente...", thus completing the journey through sensations, emotions, and music without stylistic boundaries."
