I for one am so grateful that we have such young boogie players like Luca and Lucien. They will keep this type of music alive for years! Thank you Luca and Lucien!
Great to hear Luca talk about his inspiration, he should know he was the inspiration for many including myself to take up piano or this amazing style of piano.
Now, a comment for Luca. WOW!! Key engine showed-off your cross hand skill, then Swanee River Boogie made Albert smile from above. Your fingering is beyond compare. Your runs outstanding. And your bass figures? Well......! LOL. No wonder your feet move so much--it is infectious!!! Thanks for SO much fun!
This is great !!!!!!! All three musicians are fantastic !!!!! I've enjoyed all of your production very much, Thank You for finding these artist and sharing them with us. Luca is his usual self, pure talent and smooth as 25 year old whiskey.
I have watched Luca's videos for a long time. His playing is awesome and I love his own compositions. He is so talented and has a great stage presence.
Luca, I've cut my teeth on much of your music. I listened to Swanee River SO many times, I finally subconsciously did the first run from the top A and it sounded so natural. Danke !!!! ***** Now you are 42,971 views away from 9,000,000, and I predicted it would be by the end of the year, but that was with 1,043 views per day, now it seems you only need to get 810 views per day (810 x 53 days) - so you will achieve 9 million before this time. Fantastic fan of you and your playing, dedication is superb !!!!!!!!!! I like the blue hoodie and the jeans on that video of 11 years ago. God bless you, Bill
I'm a fan of Luka Sestak, who shows so much creativity. However, in one would like to disagree. There is a reason why in classical music there is no joling between the pieces, for example in a song recital. Classical music often lives in pauses, in silence. Sometimes the last note goes far beyond the audible. Many a sensitive conductor often holds up the baton at the end of the concert, so that the clapping doesn't happen too quickly and this perception is destroyed.
