he had it all, soul,heart, technique, harmony, beautiful melodically, innovation, composer..if i missed anything he definitely had it ..rest in peace🙏💔🎶
You put this little man in front of a piano and he becomes a giant. One of the most inspirational pieces I've ever had the pleasure to interpret in my 40 years of playing the piano.
This music video of Michel Petruciani playing looking up is an awesome combination of beauty. I know I have watched it hundreds of times now, and I always look forward to hearing it every day. Thank you Michel Petruciani, you were a gift to the world of music, and you are truly missed.
this little man was one of the greatest of all. His fingers were breaking when playing !! I'm almost crying each time i'm listening to his music.. RIP and timeless respect
j'ai dû l'écouter des centaines et des centaines de fois, je la connais par coeur et c'est comme à la première fois, toujours plus en admiration totale...
Безмерно уважаю этого Человека!!! Цените жизнь, как ценил ее он! Добивайтесь успехов, которых достиг Он! Светлая память тебе, Мишель! Immensely respect this man! Appreciate life, as he appreciated it! Fond memory you, Michel!
Michael hated to say goodbye! He didn't have to, he can never be forgotten, neither his strong clear strong piano playing nor his humble personality. Just reading through all the comments shows how many different emotions he was capable of conveying from a dimension of its own. This melody is eternal and I just play it and play it and…. RIP Michael.
Tu es le meilleur de tous, jamais égalé... Incroyablement impressionnant en concert comme à Paris, à l'Olympia, juste avant de nous quitter... Quelle infinie tristesse. Et ce fantastique concert 1998 à Stuttgart... RIP Michel, tu es juste à côté de Frédéric Chopin...
Michel, plus grand que les buildings newyorkais, le meilleur de tous. La chance de l'avoir vu en concert, génial et quelle immense tristesse qu'il ne soit plus avec nous, mais juste à côté de Frédéric Chopin au cimetière du Père Lachaise à Paris... RIP Michel.
Just discovered this amazing artist, Michel Petrucciani, purely by accident, or was it fate? I was turning the radio dial and heard Renato Carosone performing Tu Voi Fare L' Americano, so I naturally stopped to enjoy. At the break, the DJ stated he was featuring famous Italian pianists. He described the next artist, Michel Petrucciani as French born but of Italian parents. He played Looking Up and I immediately fell in love with it. I used to be a big jazz fan, especially of upbeat and Brazilian jazz. This song immediately reminded me of Spyro Gyra. Now that I am exploring Michel Petrucciani, I am in awe. What a talent and a gift to all of us. So sad that he had such a difficult life, but so happy for him that he was able to live out his passion throughout his brief life of 36 years.
A l'Olympia (Paris), quand il arrive sur scène, l'immense émotion du public et un concert extraordinaire, le final, l'ovation puis son départ devant nous tous, médusés ! Ah , C'était incroyable...
You make my heart sing, put things into perspective. Make me realise, just how wonderful life is, and can be. I miss you friend, and always will. Rest in peace. Where ever you may be.
This composition just wrapped around my head, heart and soul, the first time I heard it. It is so stunningly beautiful and we feel blessed that Michel gave the world so much. I feel humbled to have witnessed him perform twice 👍❤️
I remember seeing this video on tv many years ago and I literally went out and got this cd. I was so happy to find this again after so many years….it is so magical..thank you Michael!
quelle magnifique version studio de Looking up !!!! Il faudra des siècles avant de retrouver un Michel de cette classe, où peut-être jamais... C'est beau et c'est con la vie...
I once heard his solo piano concert in my hometown, Helsinki. It was really incredible - I truly admire and respect this man. Thank you for your life work. R.I.P.
When I first saw Petrucciani before hearing him play, I thought he is just another one of those guys that get extra credit from people just because he's disabled. Boy was I wrong. Petrucciani was a man of profound musical genius.
According to wikipedia, Michel lived with pain all his life. Playing the piano made his arms hurt. He only lived for 36 years. And yet, this video is an example of pure happiness. If anyone needs inspiration to make stuff happen in their lives, this is a must-see.
You are my hero. Because, I have a rare disease and I want to be a jazz pianist. When I think about give up playing piano. Always I get a new power from you. If I can meet you.. thank you michel
Just moving and beautiful! I had the enormous pleasure to see Michel Petrucciani in Hamburg in Roger Willemsen’s talk show , as a kind of his musical side kick, WILLEMSENS WOCHE.
guardando in alto e alzando gli occhi al cielo, le melodie di Michel . La via lattea come la tastiera del tuo steinway. La tua musica corre nell'immensita' ed io vorrei essere li' con te.
Je me souviendrai toute ma vie de ce concert auquel j'ai assisté : assise pourtant au 1er rang je regardais Michel jouer avec des JUMELLES !!! ♥j'a-d-o-r-e ce titre !
7 ปีที่แล้ว +1
Quelle chance d'avoir pu assister à un de ses concerts ! Je n'ai pas eu cette chance, étant né un an avant sa mort :(
IMPRESSIVE!!! Magnifiscent!! Simply from another galaxy!!!! he was ahead of our time.... a talent like this is once in a lifetime!! .... how come there are 2 dislikes??? come on!!
he had it all, soul,heart, technique, harmony, beautiful melodically, innovation, composer..if i missed anything he definitely had it ..rest in peace🙏💔🎶
This is an absolute celebration of life! Thank you Michel for your music, thank you filmmakers for this documentary!
A chi riesce donare la felicità ha il diritto a l' eternità...
everytime i hear this it touches me deeply inside. i wish You women, wine and many songs up there. . . Yours. NB / Vienna
You put this little man in front of a piano and he becomes a giant. One of the most inspirational pieces I've ever had the pleasure to interpret in my 40 years of playing the piano.
...and his giant shadow covers all others...gone way too soon!
@@moonstar7775 YES!
I would absolutely love to hear someone else play this tune.
Hard not to make the giant analogy - mind-blowing - glad you're as happy as me. Not a thing that I face can't be put right by this tune alone.
“When I play, I play with my heart and my head and my spirit… I don’t play to people’s heads, but to their hearts." - Michel Petrucciani
This music video of Michel Petruciani playing looking up is an awesome combination of beauty. I know I have watched it hundreds of times now, and I always look forward to hearing it every day. Thank you Michel Petruciani, you were a gift to the world of music, and you are truly missed.
👍‼️Indeed!
This little man gave as a lesson: Live your life!
this little man was one of the greatest of all. His fingers were breaking when playing !!
I'm almost crying each time i'm listening to his music..
RIP and timeless respect
Ahhh
I do
I'll be admirative for all my lifetime. He let us a treasure to take care of.
It makes me optimistic, to want to go for the impossible, what i once considered as impossible, with the feeling that the best are yet to come.. 🏖
It's about joy. It's about life. It's about living it to the fullest...and he did! God bless him.
Had to watch it and cry again... He was really something ...
I'm trying not to cry as well
a mix of nostalgy and happiness , signature of a great musician
Michel, I will never stop missing you. Your power and extraordinary talent were unmatched.. 💖💖
Thanks to God, that there was great Michel Petrucciani
Syner.
Most optimistic tune ever
I've replayed this track countless times - it really is a fantastic piece of music that tugs on the heart strings.
Yes it does!
My favorite jazz piece played by my favorite artist. It makes me happy every time I head it!
Simplemente maravilloso!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
j'ai dû l'écouter des centaines et des centaines de fois, je la connais par coeur et c'est comme à la première fois, toujours plus en admiration totale...
What a gem of a song and melody!! Makes me feel as if I'm floating. One of my top 10 life tunes. RIP Michel 🙏
This song and performance always puts me in a good mood!!! We miss you Michel!!
i miss him too. He left behind his most magnificent music for all of us! What a wonderful legacy!
This piece is more and more amazing each time i listen to it. like literally.
Безмерно уважаю этого Человека!!! Цените жизнь, как ценил ее он! Добивайтесь успехов, которых достиг Он! Светлая память тебе, Мишель!
Immensely respect this man! Appreciate life, as he appreciated it! Fond memory you, Michel!
One of the brilliant minds of music history. This is my favorite song. A real teacher of life and music.
After 100 ´s of viewings this is still as beautiful and inspiring as always.The perfect mix of music with amazing cinematography.
INCREDIBLE MELODY ! ... by the best piano melodist since Bill Evans ... ( with Lyle Mays ) ...
Simply Happiness ...
... and Lars Jansson
Love when his hat blows off at the end. Brilliant musician and entertainer with self-deprecatory sense of humour.
This song has the joy of life that Petrucciani had inside ... a beautiful melody that makes you think: but how big was this little man?
Michael hated to say goodbye! He didn't have to, he can never be forgotten, neither his strong clear strong piano playing nor his humble personality. Just reading through all the comments shows how many different emotions he was capable of conveying from a dimension of its own. This melody is eternal and I just play it and play it and…. RIP Michael.
thrilling !! moving ! full of hope! Michel Petrucciani is still with us!!
Tu es le meilleur de tous, jamais égalé... Incroyablement impressionnant en concert comme à Paris, à l'Olympia, juste avant de nous quitter... Quelle infinie tristesse.
Et ce fantastique concert 1998 à Stuttgart... RIP Michel, tu es juste à côté de Frédéric Chopin...
so much respect for this guy
Me too!
I agree: he has is a giant at the piano. Truly great. His music will live for decades. RIP to a man that brought us joy but left to early.
Awe inspiring, passionate, makes me cry. The notes, the everything that is in this film
This song is fantastic.
The most exquisite jazz of Michel Petruciani, set to amazing cinematography. This is an awesome work of art.
This music would make the world happy...So, everybody, just listen this music. Thanks Michel for the happiness that you bring thru the music.
Michel, plus grand que les buildings newyorkais, le meilleur de tous. La chance de l'avoir vu en concert, génial et quelle immense tristesse qu'il ne soit plus avec nous, mais juste à côté de Frédéric Chopin au cimetière du Père Lachaise à Paris... RIP Michel.
A Major is such a bright uplifting key. Who else is waiting for the end of this moment in history?

Only his father was Italian, his mother was French

🌏🎹 Michel Petrucciani 🌠 was Truly 1️⃣ in A Million 🙏🌈🌅
i can't help crying
"When I play, I play with my heart and my head and my spirit… I don't play to people's heads, but to their hearts."
Same..
yeah...I'm with ya...
Wiping like a kid...small man - massive output
I feel so sad for people who wouldn't cry for Michel's music.
I love this talented musician and the video is genius!!!
CADA VEZ QUE MIRO ESTE VIDEO, SE ME ROSAN LOS OJOS DE LAGRIMAS POR ALGUIEN TAN GRANDE, QUE ME HACE VIBRAR .
GRACIAS MICHEL... HASTA SIEMPRE.
You make my heart sing, put things into perspective. Make me realise, just how wonderful life is, and can be. I miss you friend, and always will. Rest in peace.
Where ever you may be.

Yes I cry too as I watch .. What a fantastic video... No words can express...
What a humbling INSPIRATION!!!
quelle magnifique version studio de Looking up !!!! Il faudra des siècles avant de retrouver un Michel de cette classe, où peut-être jamais... C'est beau et c'est con la vie...
Michel Petrucciani & Roger Willemsen qui le tient dans ses bras , deux chers disparus . Emotion totale en re-re-re-reécoutant ce sublime opus.
I once heard his solo piano concert in my hometown, Helsinki. It was really incredible - I truly admire and respect this man. Thank you for your life work. R.I.P.
je ressens de la joie teintée de nostalgie dans cette musique♪♪SUBLIME!!
Definitivamente mi pieza favorita de Jazz, me trae muchos recuerdos de mi papá,Te quiero mucho, papá. ♡
When I first saw Petrucciani before hearing him play, I thought he is just another one of those guys that get extra credit from people just because he's disabled. Boy was I wrong. Petrucciani was a man of profound musical genius.
It conveys the freedom, space and a lot of desire to travel
He is little hero😊
Those who dislike this kind of music are completely deaf ! Just Magic!!!
We must pity those who cannot see and hear the magic in Michel's music. He was magnificent!
This song is so joyous…the video is incredible..thanks Michael
Caro Michelino, sei un patrimonio dell'umanità !
Dear Michaelino, you are a patrimony of humanity !
Il mio solo rammarico è non averti conosciuto prima! Grande Michel
According to wikipedia, Michel lived with pain all his life. Playing the piano made his arms hurt. He only lived for 36 years. And yet, this video is an example of pure happiness. If anyone needs inspiration to make stuff happen in their lives, this is a must-see.
Neal Hinds. He,s absolutely amazing and talented. Beautiful piece of music. Wow!!!
Just wonderful....beautiful music from a beautiful soul....
Michel, "Where words fail, music speaks".
For me, you said it all.
Obrigada, Obrigada, Thank you.
R.I.P
le Stenway s'en rappelle encore, sûr !. Personne ne "tape" sur un piano comme Michel !!!. Il avait tant à nous montrer encore...
You are my hero. Because, I have a rare disease and I want to be a jazz pianist. When I think about give up playing piano. Always I get a new power from you. If I can meet you.. thank you michel
Just moving and beautiful!
I had the enormous pleasure to see Michel Petrucciani in Hamburg in Roger Willemsen’s talk show , as a kind of his musical side kick, WILLEMSENS WOCHE.
The king of New York, c'était Michel Petrucciani...
Thank you for sharing this amazing tune!
What a MAN !!!
I had no pity for him, I hope he had pity for the rest of the World...
Great artist!
I never forget we saw him play @ the Tuch.
And you Bob
A WONDERFUL MUSICIAN, A BIG MAN.
What a genius ! Great man !
Magnifique et regretté Michel Petrucciani
unbelievable musician!! wonderful to see him with R Willemsen who brought him back to Germany television
guardando in alto e alzando gli occhi al cielo, le melodie di Michel . La via lattea come la tastiera del tuo steinway. La tua musica corre nell'immensita' ed io vorrei essere li' con te.

What a wonderful sound--would have loved to have met him and shared the music!
One of my favourite pianist's ever, particularly his work with Anthony Jackson, like this tune! Sadly missed.
