Personellement, je garde la meilleure impression de son interprétation de ma 'Suite Modale'.
Nul doute qu'un brillant avenir l'attend...'

'I am glad for having been introduced to such a talented and high-professional musician as Luca Massaglia.
His interpretations of J. S. Bach, M. Reger, O. Messiaen, A. Pärt and other composers are remarkable for the exact choice of performing means, depth and good taste.
Luca Massaglia shows a surprising rapidity in mastering new pieces(including mine) and authors .
His interest towards such different styles and the understanding of them (see his YouTube channel) is a reason for a great deal of respect for him.
In my opinion, Luca Massaglia is a welcome guest for a discerning music audience'

'Ti scrivo per dirti che ho ascoltato alcune tue incisioni su YouTube e mi sono piaciute molto! Da esse traspare una concezione unitaria dell'organo, estremamente meditata e seria, ascetica... un organo mistico... aspetto imprescindibile che fin dalla mia gioventù ha costituito IL motivo per cui ho deciso di studiare questo strumento. Quindi non posso che farti i miei complimenti più spontanei e sinceri. "L'organo mistico" è anche una scelta coraggiosa, in una società raramente educata al corretto ascolto, anche se, a mio avviso, ai più basterebbe un po' di sensibilità per comprendere anche senza particolari studi dove risiede la vera qualità'
