A LEFT COAST: TYLER DUNCAN, BARITONE; ERIKA SWITZER, PIANO
BRIDGE 9574


$ 16.99

A Left Coast is a heartfelt song collection for the place baritone Tyler Duncan and pianist Erika Switzer call home- British Columbia.

 

The distinguished artists write that: "Our particular connections to Vancouver’s communities, geography, and spirit, continue to nourish us as artists. Its lands and waters, the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory cared for since time immemorial by the Musqueam, Squamish, and Selilwitulh and Tsleil-Waututh Nations, provided us with an extraordinary upbringing. With these songs, (by composers  Iman Habibi, Jean Coulthard, Jocelyn Morlock, Stephen Chatman, Leslie Uyeda, Melissa Hui, and Jeffrey Ryan) we wish to say thank you."

 

Duncan and Switzer have been inspired by the vibrant Canadian new music scene, and offer an adventurous, deeply felt homage to Canada's beautiful 'left coast.'

 

"The performances are excellent. Switzer is a fine musician and interpreter and Duncan’s lyric baritone is lovely to listen too." — Opera Ramblings 

 

"The all-pervasive sense of the emotion felt for a distant beloved is superbly articulated by Switzer and Duncan. Duncan’s control of pitch and shades of expression is a delight and Switzer’s range of apt pianistic colours is a joy in itself." — Glyn Pursglove, Musicweb International
