Maurice Steger stands as one of the leading recorder virtuosos of our time, hailed for his exceptional technique and expressivity that breathes new life into baroque and early music. Born in Switzerland, Steger's prowess on the recorder, often affectionately referred to as the flauto dolce, has taken him across the globe, playing in some of the world's most prestigious concert halls and collaborating with renowned baroque ensembles and orchestras.

Steger's discography reflects his dedication to the baroque repertoire, with a particular emphasis on works by Vivaldi, Telemann, Handel, and other masters of the period. His albums such as "Vivaldi: Concerti per flauto" and "Mr. Handel's Dinner" encapsulate his innate ability to unearth the rich, nuanced tapestries of the baroque era with a refreshing and dynamic approach. "Una Follia di Napoli" and "Venezia 1625" showcase his passion for Italian baroque, serving as sonic explorations into the heart of 17th and 18th-century Neapolitan and Venetian instrumental music. With "Maurice Steger: A Portrait," listeners are offered an intimate look into the artist's philosophy and musical journey. Through his recordings and performances, Maurice Steger has not only secured his place as a leading interpreter of baroque recorder music but has also contributed significantly to the instrument's resurgence in classical music today.
