Wigmore Hall: Barry Douglas
Duration: 58 minutes
First broadcast:Monday 10 December 2012Live from Wigmore Hall, London.

Sean Rafferty introduces an all-Brahms programme, played by pianist Barry Douglas.

Brahms: Intermezzi, Op 117
Brahms: Piano Sonata No 3 in F minor, Op 5

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. 

[Quijote]

Heard some Brahms the other day (on the radio device thingy), 2nd Symphony.
Nah, give me Bruckner, though as a 'cellist I'd rather play Brahms (because easier; who wants to sweat overly for one's shilling?).

That is my favorite of Brahms' symphonies. For some reason it reminds me a lot of Prokofiev's Classical Symphony.

[Michael]

Going through the piano sonatas for the umpteenth time. No. 4 in D which has been described as a sequel to No. 3, probably because the first movement of the later sonata is in 6/8 as is the last movement of the earlier one. And they sound similar.
If you follow me.

I thought No. 4 was in E Flat? It's one I quite like and I do follow with the relationship.
