Overview

Barry Douglas returns to Wigmore Hall with a programme rich in contrasts and musical imagery. The celebrated Irish pianist’s ongoing immersion in the works of Brahms and Schubert is reflected in his choice of a first half crowned by the latter’s ‘Wanderer’ Fantasy.

He also delivers his latest thoughts on Musorgsky’s inexhaustibly fascinating Pictures at an Exhibition, a suite of vivid pieces inspired by the work of the architect and artist, Viktor Hartmann.
