Barry Douglas live from Waterfront Hall

Acclaimed pianist Barry Douglas performs a recital live from the Waterfront Hall in Belfast, introduced by John Toal.

The first half of the programme is distinctly classical with 2 Schubert Impromptus, followed by Beethoven’s Piano Sonata in F minor, Op. 57 – Appassionata; a work that’s emblematic of the composer’s explosive temperament and a defiant challenge to the world.

Since August the Waterfront Hall has been home to the Ulster Orchestra and during the interval we’ll hear them perform Mozart’s Symphony No. 28 in C Major K. 200, conducted by Ben Gernon.

And the recital continues with an all-Russian focus, with movements from Tchaikovsky’s The Seasons and Mussorgsky’s celebrated Pictures at an Exhibition – concluding with the triumphant Great Gate of Kiev.
