Enrico Gatti is a distinguished Italian violinist and conductor renowned for his expertise in Baroque music and performance practice. Born in Perugia, Italy, Gatti has devoted his career to the study and interpretation of seventeenth and eighteenth-century music, establishing himself as one of the leading figures in the field of historical performance. Educated in Italy and further refined under the tutelage of influential teachers such as Chiara Banchini at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Basel, Gatti has a profound understanding of the stylistic nuances of the period, which he brings to life with his instrument.

His album "Cross-dressing Bach: Chamber Rarities & Alternative Versions" suggests a creative and innovative approach to classical repertoire, teasing out fresh perspectives on familiar compositions. With performances that illustrate a seamless blend of scholarly insight and spirited musicianship, Gatti continues to enchant audiences and contribute valuable interpretations to the world of early music.
