Andrea Bacchetti
Genoese and born in 1977, Andrea Bacchetti had his chance to contact some of greatest protagonist in
musical scene when he still was very young: from Herbert von Karajan to Luciano Berio, from the historical
artistic director of Teatro La Scala and Accademia Santa Cecilia Francesco Siciliani to the pianists
Mieczyslav Horszowsky and Nikita Magaloff.
He had his debut at the age of eleven at Sala Verdi of Milan Conservatory, with the Solisti Veneti conducted
by Claudio Scimone, and then he improved himself under the lead of Franco Scala at the pianistic Accademy
"Meetings with the Maestro" in Imola.
His career saw him as protagonist in greatest institutions
and festivals all around the world, committed in long tours in Northern and Southern America, and also in
Japan. He collaborates with the cellist Rocco Filippini, the violinist Domenico Nordio, with the Prazak
and Ysa˙e Quartets, and with the Quartet of Cremona.
In 2001 the jury of the Micheli contest, headed by
Luciano Berio, unanimously assigned to him the Special Prize of Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation for the best
execution of the contemporary score in the contest program. Since that moment, it has born an artistic
harmony with Berio that took Bacchetti to record his compositions for piano in a disc that has obtained a
great success.
In the latest years, his discographical recordings increased, making Bacchetti one of the most renown and
appreciated Italian pianists on the international scene. He recorded among other things, CDs and DVDs
dedicated to compositions for piano by authors as Galuppi and Cherubini, as well as the English Suites,
the Toccatas and the Goldberg Variations by Bach. In 2013 he will play in tour in countries as Mexico,
Brazil and Argentina.
