Thank you Michel, for showing the world that nothing is impossible. You were absolutely fucking amazing and inmense

Mr. Petrucciani. You’re an inspiration to me as a musician who has a disability. Thank you for refusing to let your light be snuffed out by physical challenges.

Doesn’t look at the piano and doesn’t miss a single note. Just incredible

A long time ago, a girlfriend of mine gifted me a Petrucciani CD. I listened to this music and loved it for years before I found out who Petrucciani is. I cried so hard, when I learned about the person behind these fabulous performances.

There are no flaws in Mr. Petruciani's piano artistry. He made his contribution of beautiful music.

It's really a pity that I never saw Petrucciani play live. When I got to know him he already was dead again. I visited his grave on the cimetière Père-Lachaise in Paris which is next to Frédéric Chopin's one. What an honour! Two piano gods side by side.

Когда внешность ничто, а душа - ВСЁ. Как сладко обманываться своим превосходством и как всё-таки горько осознавать свое ничтожество. Это больше чем музыка. Браво!

"Sometimes I think someone upstairs didn't want me to be ordinary." - Michel

This right here has me at the brink of tears as a fellow musician... Watching him play this while looking up and the way he is feeling it is just awesome!! It's just a masterpiece!!👍👍👍👍👍👍

Le plus grand pianiste de jazz français du vingtième siècle élégance inventivité et genie

Such delicacy, emotion and feeling for a piece cannot be taught. It is straight from the heart

In un paesino del Molise,davanti a 1000 persone hai scritto con la tua arte una pagina indimenticabile della mia esistenza:Novembre 1994.

I've returned here a hundred times through the years. Fantastique. Encroyable! Just came from reading local media and a polemic about the annoying fact that nowadays the audience gradually gets up with a standing ovation at concerts after almost every piece. If one had to single out a performance that calls for a standing ovation, this is the one. Thank you for being among us. Un grand merci au Maëstro Pettruciani ❤

He's fucking amazing. It's just incredible. How the fuck does one even do that???

he was an angel living among us, god bless you Michel at least we have your music

Notre plus grand pianiste de jazz français jamais égalé jamais dépassé en fait du coup immortel …..un jeu d une immense élégance et d un grand raffinement

Ho avuto la fortuna di vederlo e sentirlo per ben 3 volte dal vivo. Amava le terre in cui vivo, il Friuli e quindi ci veniva spesso. Ricordo come fosse ieri, l'apertura del suo concerto in piano solo a Udine; in un silenzio irreale iniziò a suonare, ed io, improvvisamente, scoppiai a piangere. La sua musica mi è sempre arrivata in fondo. Ed oggi, mi manca.

Molte sono le immagini fabbricate dai maestri d'illusioni, il vero talento, e solo questo è degno di culto. Grande improvvisazione per un pubblico entusiasta.

Goosebumps! I discovered him recently so I got a lot to catch up.

Как жаль, что я не застал его, многое б отдал за билет на его концерт. Услышать ТАКОЕ вживую - дорогого стоит.

Era piccolo....Era un GIGANTE. Grazie per la Tua splendida musica, tanto unica quanto immortale.

Looking up, one of the best and happiest and sunny pieces in the history of jazz. It does make you smile, always. Thank you Michelle

Un piccolo gigante che sprigionava emozioni uniche quando suonava il pianoforte ...

This is my personal lost, I just discovered him today. 😔😔

Mammamia! ci faceva l'amore con la musica! stupendo!

Non mi stanco mai di ascoltare questo pianista straordinario che, a parer mio, era dotato di uno swing pazzesco nella mano destra. Veramente, dovrebbe essere un dovere per tutti i pianisti, e aggiungo per tutti i musicisti, ascoltare le sue incredibili performance.

Magiche melodie....come solo le sue mani sanno fare. Ripeto solo le sue mani. Bravissimo Me. Petrucciani

Очень трогательное выступление!

Personne d'autre, jamais, ne jouera comme lui, avec le flot de son âme… Miss you.

The smoothest meastros ,him an Bill Evans , go places where just few musicians can go

This is the music of a man that knew more than anybody that our life on earth could be snuffed in an instant. Bless his soul for what he left behind for us to enjoy.

Still here in 2024 🤘

Da dove la prende…è visibile si trova in un’altra dimensione. Che meraviglia

Non c’è abbondanza di genialità, né gli uomini straordinari sono sempre plauditi e riconosciuti. Petrucciani ė uomo semplice del nostro tempo che fa del suo dolore una sublime opera d’arte, un linguaggio, uno stile che non deve piacere necessariamente a tutti sempre e comunque. Attraverso le sue scale al piano, i suoni, le armonie, le sue improvvisazioni, possiamo percepire il suo mondo, il suo senso della realtà espressa dalla sua anima sensibile e malinconica. Ė un punto di vista speciale che rapisce molti, selettivamente e senza presunzione alcuna. Il Maestro Petrucciani ci insegna il suo punto di vista vitale, creativo, essenzialmente unico, nonostante la malattia, la sofferenza di un dolore fisico che lo costringe ad esecuzioni faticose e poco convenzionali. Osservando I suoi sguardi persi verso l’alto mentre esegue estasiato uno dei suoi capolavori, possiamo condividere quella realtà invisibile ma ricca di ispirazione che solo lui scorge, elabora e traduce arrivando a noi con profonda sincerità, generosità, come fossimo compagni di un viaggio mistico nel quale ci conduce... Come tra i più grandi artisti colpiti da malattie imperdonabili, come Paganini, Van Gogh, Renoir, Beethoven, Michelangelo, Goya, Schumann e molti altri, Michelle Petrucciani meriterebbe a pieno titolo la fama di ‘genio’ e per questo lo ringrazio per aver testimoniato con la sua arte la bellezza della musica quale altissima espressione divina e di vita.

Il avait tellement à donner encore au jazz, Michel, THE BOSS...

There's not a day that we don't miss the genial genius of Michel Petrucciani.

Que GRANDE! Terminó Bésame Mucho, empezó Home y de una vez cambio a Looking Up. GRANDISIMO!

I can't stop listening to this more and more every day ❤

Semplicemente incredibile!!!!

Grazie di essere esistito, Michel. Grazie

This is just incredible. I can't actually believe that I was alive that entire time and only just found this in 2018. Shame on me.

I just per chance bumped into one of videos a few days ago. I now can't get enough of listening to him; he is astounding. His modulations, technique, intonations are just incredible. What a loss of a great musician ! Bravo, Michel !

in questa musica c'è davvero l'anima !!!!

he was so connected to the songs he played that music just poured out, effortlessly

I can’t imagine the physical discomfort this man must have endured to learn his craft…

A magician, so generous of his talent. His jazz will never die, he is not dead. Emotion every single time I share his music.

Inspiegabili i "Non mi piace " Michel petrucciani è stato un pianista eccelso e raffinato nonostante abbia sofferto tutta la ! Un genio

Michel, this Chinaman miss you..you saw a much more besutiful world than we do.

I wasn't born with any disabilities and I cant wrap my head around how amazing he was. If he's still out there I hope he knows what an ibnspiration his life has been.

Michel...vous étiez un géant!

Petrucciani... Uno de los mas grandes que recordará la historia del Jazz, y de la música en general...

Da uno strappo al cuore a una rincorsa di accordi e note sempre imprevedibili e imprevisti. Grande Petrucciani!

Gracias Petrucciani por mostrarnos que la sensibilidad es la culminación de lo humano.,

I've seen Michel Pettruciani in 1993 in Porto (Portugal). I was young and I didn't know very well the artist. I had a so strong feeling on hearing his music, his way to play piano... All his life is a lesson for us.

tears...of happiness, when i hear it...

La vie nous apporte t’en de bonheur Michel en n’est l’exemple Merci

un immense respect pour le plus grand pianiste jazzmen de l'histoire .

So, this kind of playing piano is a real love..everithing else is fictive!!! The musicans will understand me! I love that man. RIP. :-(

One of the best pianist ever

a humble opinion for all those 204 who put their thumbs down: you have not understood anything about music, feelings, skill, technique, improvisation, unrepeatable masterpieces and practically nothing that is really beautiful in life and in this world.

Ascoltatai per la prima volta Michel Petrucciani in una trasmissione Tv sul terzo programma della rai circa venticinque anni fà e rimasi subito impressionato dal suo grandissimo talento ancora più apprezzabile perchè espresso da un corpo cosi' martoriato;da allora non ho mai smesso di sentirlo .

R.I.P Michel Petrucciani j'ai eu l'occasion de l'écouter à la Tour Pleyel que dire d'un Maestro comme lui Un Grand Merci pour tous ça

I just discovered this increible pianist. He's wonderful.

Scroll up fast, the Master is playing without looking his hands even once!

i like his style. hes not just a gimmick, brings something unique to the standards

j'ai eu la chance de vous voir 1 fois en concert à St Etienne. Ce concert restera à jamais dans ma mémoire. Merci Michel

This is the most sensitive piano playing I'd ever seen or listen to ...❤😪

sin duda en el cielo no te dejarian regresar ala tierra ,por que se quedan sin un maestro ..y les arias tanta falta como a nosotros aqui en la tierra . maestro.saludos sonora mexico

Grazie Signore per questo regalo! Dio esiste...Michel è la dimostrazione

Un MAITRE tout simplement! RIp Michel

his expression says it all....a man in love...with music

Маленький человечек и большой талант! Спасибо вам за ваше искусство!!!

He was blessed with a perfect pair of hands

he was one of the best in the world,god bless you Petrucciani!😔

Está lleno de pasión... y la transmite

Indiscutiblemente es genial este, mis respetos y agradecimiento por tan hermosa melodía de la gran mexicana Consuelito Velazquez

Thanks to the algorithm for introducing me to the intense pleasure of Mr Michel Pettruciani's exquisite talent. Bright stars burn out quickly, so lucky to have much of his work recorded for us to enjoy forever. Beautiful, I have an eclectic taste in music, so glad to add this gentleman to a list of pleasures to indulge in

RIP Michel , grazie per la tua musica !

La plus belle version de looking up : le documentaire avec Michel sur les toits de New York. Une version intégrale magnifique. C'est pas du live mais c'est grand !!!

Jazz is many times so much more than just skill and to me, it's like the best jazz always has a certain state of mind. I believe if you are beautiful within, beautiful music will come from your hands. THANK YOU MICHEL, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Quel touché inimitable et reconnaissable entre mille. Tu nous manques Michel

Le grand, le très grand Michel Petrucciani - Merci ta musique reste intact et belle A bientôt

Pietrucciani è un angelo del celo venuto sulla terra per deliziare con la maestria delle sue musiche sublimi!!!!!!!

Lo que no te dio Dios en estatura, te lo triplico en grandeza musical

The man was more pure musician than most people could everknow.To truly feel, you must give up the idea of self. It is something many people are afraid to do.

When I first stumbled upon this video I didn't know that Looking Up was a tune of his so I thought the title meant "Michel Petrucciani (playing) Bésame Mucho (while looking up)", which is what he does aswell. Don't think he looks at the keys even once. Amazing performance!

Vous êtes formidable maître. Je vous vais rappeler pour toujours, pour toute ma vie. Merci pour votre musique.

Un géant qui reste dans nos cœurs et nos têtes

Un verdadero gigante. Entre los mejores de todas las épocas

Gran sentimiento, proyecta mucho amor y alegría de vivir su música...

he is in love with the piano and the music ... that`s all....listen to love .....thank you M.P. for that love -

I think Looking Up sounds best as a solo piano piece and I never tire of it. The version to open his Solo Live album is probably my favorite.

Michel, never heard of you. before. My heart is with you.

Semplicemente magico

Bésame mucho (Kiss me a lot) Mexico in the house. Gracias Consuelo Velazquez, Gracias Michel Petrucciani.

To judge by me, he was the greitest piano player ever lived on earth. ❤

It's always amazed me how he was able to play these pieces with no sheet music and never once had to look at the keys. Incredible.

Assolutamente unico!!! Per fortuna, ho avuto più occasioni di vederlo dal vivo. Indimenticabile e insuperabile. Grazie maestrop❤❤❤

He's making love to those notes. Thank you Michel for letting us listen and watch. That sounds dirty but it's meant with love

THE best musician ever....
