Andrea Bacchetti was born in Recco (GE) in 1977. A precocious talent, he took inspiration from Karajan, Berio, Horszowsky, and Magaloff at a young age. He earned a Master's degree from the Imola Piano Academy with Franco Scala. He made his debut at age 11 in Milan with the Solisti Veneti conducted by Scimone. Since then, he has performed at major festivals such as Lucerne, Salzburg, Sapporo, La Coruña, Toulouse, La Roque d'Anthéron, Warsaw, Ravenna, Brescia, and Bergamo. He has performed at international music centers in Berlin, Paris, Tokyo, Moscow, Prague, Madrid, São Paulo, Bern, and Leipzig, and with orchestras such as Festival Strings Lucerne, Camerata Salzburg, PKO Prague, Filarmonica della Scala, OSN Rai Turin, Filarmonica Enescu, Bucharest, Kyoto Symphony, and ORF Vienna, with conductors such as Baumgartner, Gimeno, Lü Jia, Urbanski, Luisi, Venzago, Manacorda, Flor, Chung, and Tjeknavorian.
He records for Sony Classical, and his extensive discography includes the Cherubini Sonatas (Penguin Guide UK Rosette), The Scarlatti Restored Manuscript, for which he won the 2014 ICMA Award, and Bach's The Inventions and Sinfonias (CD of the Month in BBC Music Magazine). He is passionate about chamber music, collaborating with R. Filippini, the Prazak Quartet, U. Ughi, F. Dego, the Quatour Ysaye, and the Cremona Quartet.
In recent seasons, he has performed with the Milan Symphony Orchestra, the OSI Lugano, the Haydn Orchestra of Bolzano, the Teatro Comunale di Bologna, the Teatro Carlo Felice in Genoa, the Solisti Aquilani, and in recital at two consecutive editions of the Brescia and Bergamo International Piano Festivals. He performed Book II of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier in a single performance in the Aula Magna of Sapienza University for the IUC, at the Teatro Carlo Felice in Genoa for the G.O.G., and at La Fenice in Venice for Musikamera, as well as in a recital for the Friends of Music of Florence. This season, he has performed in South Africa, South America, Germany, Japan, Switzerland, and Portugal.
