“In his tripartite Etudes Espace (1986), Andrew Schultz accomplishes the neat trick of combining aspects of the first movement’s assertive gestural world and the second movement’s charming rustic tune into a chorale style finale of much power.” [David Cleary, “Australian Organ Music”, 21st Century Music, October 2001]

“Andrew Schultz’s Etudes Espace evokes a lonely sense of space.” [Peter McCallum, Sydney Morning Herald, 4-5 October 2008]

“Except the pieces by Koehne and Thalben-Ball, the remaining selections are world premiere recordings. Most of the composers comment on their work in the liner notes, which is a great help … Schultz’s Etudes include quiet, haunting works (Etude II) with slow, seemingly endless explorations with long held chords. … Bowman displays a fine command of these thorny scores, and allows listeners the chance to experience the full range of sonorities possible with this instrument.” [Donald Metz, American Record Guide]

“The Etudes Espace I-III (1986) by Andrew Schultz combine modern abstract sounds with the beauty of a harmonic choral like an evensong.” [Christian Ekowski, Critic-service in christian-ekowski.de/texte.html]
