- "The New Voice of the Clarinet" (front page of De Klarinet Magazine) - "Luciano’s constantly beautiful tone was heard to its best advantage" (Musical Opinion, UK's oldest classical music magazine) - "Luciano's interpretation is bold and unique" (International Clarinet Association) - "Luciano is one of Europe's leading exponents of jazz clarinet" (BBC Radio) Internationally recognised for his groundbreaking contributions to contemporary clarinet music (as a scholar, a composer and a performer), praised by Musical Opinion (UK’s oldest classical music magazine) for his “constantly beautiful tone”, he starts his career at a very young age and has since “established himself as the friendly face of contemporary clarinet”, according to the Clarinet & Saxophone Magazine. Luciano has defined himself as a solo artist, not solely an instrumentalist, but a complete musician in line with the tradition set by the great maestri of the past and always keen on “challenging preconceptions”. A former university lecturer in the UK, with a repertoire that embraces more than two centuries of Western music, his interpretations have been described as “bold and unique”. As a concert musician and a composer, Luciano has presented new works (either his music or pieces especially written/arranged for him) and rarely played music at some of the most established venues of the UK, Europe and America with a portfolio that also features some of the most renowned universities of the UK and South America
