“It is essential to solid dramatic presentation to have a piano partner with mature musical and rhetorical abilities. Erika Switzer is such an exceptional talent. She is also highly decorated, [winning] 1st prize at Wigmore Hall in 2003 and 1st prize in the Schumann Competition in 2004. Her commitment to expression and fully-engaged playing always remain in service of the text… Extreme playing suits her, but without even a hint of exaggeration.”
