Barry Douglas (piano)

The concert opens with Brahms's 3 Intermezzi Op 117, works which are among the best-loved and most popular of Brahms's autumnal late piano output. The concluding work is the Piano Sonata no 3 in F minor, an unusually large composition in five movements, written when Brahms was twenty. Brahms shows his affinity towards Beethoven in this sonata, infusing three movements with the famous motif from Beethoven's 5th Symphony.
