WOW, breath taking! I have a feeling this guy plays by ear. Music like that doesn't come off the printed page, and of course the concert Steinway piano he's playing doesn't hurt either. Beautiful arrangement.
The Yamaha he playes doing key engine sure doesn't sound second best either, wouldn't be supprised he could make a child's $10 dollar piano sound amazing too.
I completely agree! ...I can play, but not like that!Everybody says I’m gifted...but he’s the true definition of gifted. He should play that on a keyboard to record the midi notes, turn it into sheet music, then sell his masterpiece. I’m in love with his hands ...and his face😘
Luca, I've always liked your playing for many, many years. And, your version of O Holy Night is the best I've ever heard all my life. You've got really great talent.
Wish you had gone to the churches that I went to decades ago. They weren't the best piano players, but they had a foundation for moving around with cords. Changing keys and from Song to song from one key to another with different counts. Transitioning from one to another gracefully is an art and mathematical. Some sounded like the sixties (nice to hear that again). The classical parts were wonderfully done. A magnificents there. I like you "playing around" experimenting. Thanks for posting.
This is a touching religious hymn! Not some ditty to be profaned by lowering it into the bars, saloons and honky-tonks to be listened to while smoking a cigar and guzzling beer.
Luca it has been wonderful to watch you grow over the years into such a polished and talented musician. That was an amazing take on a Christmas classic. More power to you. Love from us here in Brisbane Australia!!
Great blues arrangement and fabulous paying of a beautiful song usually played in a more classic style. Of course there’s plenty of “playing by ear” here, but Luca is certainly a schooled musician; the skill he has comes from classical training!
This performance is simply astonishing ! I have watched all of your videos, wandered through your website and more recently purchased a CD. While I like Bogie Woogie and stride piano, you then went and amazed me a few years ago with the Rachmaninov Prelude and now this wonderful interpretation. Truly a versatile talent. Just wonderful. Thank you so much and Merry Christmas.
dear Luca - you are just a most talented Pianist - I love to listen to your Music - wishing you a wonderful wonderful Holiday season - all the best to you and Family and friends !
Just WOW! Luca, this gave me goosebumps. Your arrangement, your interpretation, and the range of emotions you bring out of this old treasure just blow me away. Beautifully done, Sir! Thank you for this gift, and a Merry Christmas to you!

A GENIUS !!!!!
WOW, breath taking! I have a feeling this guy plays by ear. Music like that doesn't come off the printed page, and of course the concert Steinway piano he's playing doesn't hurt either. Beautiful arrangement.
Watching this young man play is amazing. His hands literally float over the keyboard. Love his music.
The Yamaha he playes doing key engine sure doesn't sound second best either, wouldn't be supprised he could make a child's $10 dollar piano sound amazing too.
Fairly certain I could draw a picture of a piano on a block of wood and he’d still make it sing. The bastard. No, I’m not jealous.
I completely agree! ...I can play, but not like that!Everybody says I’m gifted...but he’s the true definition of gifted. He should play that on a keyboard to record the midi notes, turn it into sheet music, then sell his masterpiece.
I’m in love with his hands ...and his face😘
Only a great person can present the world with a noble song like this.
Frohe Feiertage.
Absolutely beautiful ❤️🎄
Нежно, трепетно благоговейно. Необыкновенно красиво! Это Рождество! 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤🎄🧁🍰🥧
I love that he plays it naturally by his feeling, not staring on the music sheet. Great Job! THANKS for playing and sharing this on youtube.
I could listen to Luca for ever and a day
Luca, I've always liked your playing for many, many years.
And, your version of O Holy Night is the best I've ever heard all my life.
You've got really great talent.
This kind of playing can only come from the soul
Perfect Christmas Blues..

Thanks for posting.
you are the chopin of blues.
I never thought I'd hear a version I preferred to Aretha's rendition, but this reaches my soul and touches my heart. Amazing and beautiful talent.
Wonderful. This is why I love Christmas so much. I get to hear beautiful music like this.
Beast of a talent! Those harmonies are beyond imagination. bravo!
He is fantastic
So thoughtful and gentle.
Didn't know whether I was going to like this old carol done in your style but it was great. Gospel almost and certainly in parts.
I could listen all night! Merry Christmas Luca
So beautiful! I could listen to this man play for hours. Thank you for sharing your gift! God Bless!
