“Curtis is first and foremost a musician of extraordinary ability and taste. Everything he does, whether recording, editing, mixing or mastering is guided by the highest aesthetic sensibility.”

— Stacey Kent & Jim Tomlinson - June 2017

“Curtis’ Steinway Spirio D is just wonderful - all the power and depth of sound you could want, a beautifully responsive action and clarity and focus in the pianissimo moments. One of those instruments that pays back all the detail you put into your practice ten-fold. I've never enjoyed a recording session so much.” Matthew Fletcher - GLYNDEBOURNE OPERA - August 2025

“Curtis’ piano is the best New York Steinway I have ever played.”

— John Taylor - 12 August 2013

“I’m not surprised you are so busy - it’s not Abbey Road, it’s A LOT nicer!” - Julian Dendy STEINWAYS & SONS August 2025

“Curtis Schwartz Studio is an idyllic environment in which to record music. Set in glorious gardens just outside Ardingly, the studio and the property itself have been continuously renovated and upgraded over more years than I care to mention. At the centre of the enterprise is Curtis, whose enthusiasm, stamina and superlative skill will outstrip your own. I can recommend Curtis Schwartz Studio without reservation - if you can find a better place to bring your ideas to life (and have Curt improve them immeasurably!) then please let me know.

Mitch Dalton - August 2025

“I never want to leave.””

— Maurice Gibb (The BeeGees)
