Considered the ‘foremost conductor of his generation’, Italian conductor Daniele Gatti has galvanized the music world with his dramatic and instinctive style. With fire and flair, he has established his mastery of the orchestra and the opera stage alike, imbuing his interpretations with acute understanding and refined sensitivity.

Music Director of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra since 1996, Gatti has inspired audiences and critics alike with his enraptured performances:

‘…the RPO also testified to the benefits of having had Gatti as Music Director .... He has trained the orchestra to a peak: its string section is now among the finest to be heard in London in terms of rich sonority and unanimous articulation’ The Daily Telegraph.

Daniele Gatti has also been the Music Director of Teatro Comunale, Bologna since 1997. He was Music Director of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, Rome from 1992 to 1997 and Principal Guest Conductor of the Royal Opera House between 1994 and 1997. He has been named ‘Accademico’ of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia.

Daniele Gatti has conducted some of the world’s finest orchestras and is a regular guest conductor with the New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, Boston Symphony, Vienna Philharmonic, Berlin Philharmonic, Munich Philharmonic, Dresden Staatskapelle and Royal Concertgebouw orchestras. He has a close relationship with the Vienna State Opera and will conduct several new productions for them in forthcoming seasons.

He conducts the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra every year when they perform at the BBC Proms, as well as at many concerts in the Orchestra’s London season. This season’s performances include Orff’s Carmina Burana, Mahler’s ‘Symphony of a Thousand’ and Stravinsky’s The Firebird Suite. He also tours extensively throughou Europe and the USA with the RPO.

In addition to the RPO, Daniele Gatti also regularly conducts the Royal Concertgebouw, Boston Symphony, Munich Philharmonic, New York Philharmonic, Dreden Staatskapelle, Vienna Philharmonic, Orchestre National de France and Chicago Symphony orchestras.

Daniele Gatti has made several recordings for BMG/RCA Red Seal label including the music of Rossini, Mahler, Prokofiev, Bartók and Respighi. His critically acclaimed recording of Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony with the RPO on the Harmonia Mundi label is the first in a complete series of Tchaikovsky’s symphonies. A second recording of the Fourth Symphony and Capriccio Italien has just been released in the USA and will shortly be available in the UK. Time Out Chicago’s review of this recording said: ‘Gatti gets a glowing sound out of his strings ... His brass section is second to none ... Gatti’s approach works so well.’
