Stephen Schultz, a prominent figure in the world of classical music, has earned acclaim for his masterful flute performances, both as a soloist and as a collaborator with various ensembles. Specializing in Baroque repertoire, Schultz has delved into the oeuvres of renowned composers, presenting their works with both historical accuracy and interpretive flair. His expertise is showcased in recordings such as "Couperin: Concerts royaux", a collection that highlights the elegance and complexity of François Couperin's compositions.

Schultz's dedication to Baroque music is evident in his careful curation of pieces for his albums, as seen in "Lumen Christi (Live)", where he explores the spiritual and sonic depths of liturgical music. His interpretation of "J.S. Bach: Sonatas for Flute & Harpsichord" is highly appreciated for its insightful approach to Bach's intricate dialogues between the two instruments. Furthermore, he has brought attention to lesser-known gems of the period with his work on "Boismortier: Sonatas for Flute and Harpsichord, Op. 91". By recreating the textural richness of Boismortier's compositions, Schultz has contributed significantly to the revival of the French Baroque style. His virtuosity and scholarly perspective continue to shed new light on the vast repertoire of the flute, making him a vital and respected voice in classical music circles.
