Daniele Roccato

Daniele Roccato is among Europe's most prominent players of the double bass. He has specialized in contemporary music, avant-garde experiments with the possibilities of the double bass, and musical-theatrical collaboration. Roccato was born in Adria, in northeastern Italy's Rovigo province, in 1969. He began studying violin and piano when he was seven but then switched to double bass and studied with Federico Garberoglio. As a student, he joined several national and regional youth orchestras, including the Orchestre des Jeunes de la Méditerranée in France, and won several competitions. He held first chairs in various Italian orchestras, performing under such conductors as Carlo Maria Giulini, Wolfgang Sawallisch, and Yuri Temirkanov, but in the mid-1990s, Roccato felt the need to cut back on his orchestral appearances to devote himself more fully to his solo career. He has continued to perform traditional repertory, appearing as a soloist in concertos and transcriptions with such groups as the Stravinsky Chamber Orchestra, La Camerata Musicale, Orchestra da Camera Malipiero, and the Orchestra Sinfonica di Perugia. He has founded multiple new ensembles: the experimental tango group TrisTango, Trio Afropea (double bass and live electronics, vibraphone, percussion), and the all-double bass ensemble, Ludus Gravis, which he continues to direct and with which he often performs. Roccato has been especially active as a collaborator with writer, playwright, and actor Vitaliano Trevisan; in the works they have created together, which include Burroughs in Cage and I suicidi di Bernhard, Roccato composes new music, arranges for theatrical ensemble, and performs himself. He has also collaborated with pop artists Lucio Dalla and Roberto Vecchioni, and with visual artists. Roccato has recorded for the Wergo, Stradivarius, and ECM labels. In 2013, he recorded an album of works for double bass by Sofia Gubaidulina (who remarked that "I've never heard a double bass sound this way"). In 2019, he released an album on ECM of music by his Ludus Gravis collaborator Stefano Scodanibbio, following it up with a 2020 release on Wergo of music devoted to the double bass music of Hans Werner Henze. Roccato teaches at the Conservatorio Santa Cecilia in Rome and has been invited to give master classes in countries including the U.S., Mexico, and Cuba.
