Barry Douglas’s complete Brahms cycle for solo piano is now available as a unique box set. It contains all the six widely acclaimed volumes of the series, each disc planned and presented as a stand-alone mixed recital, along with the original booklets. Completed within the course of five years, the series was seen by BBC Music as ‘a triumph of Brahmsian thoughts’. It offers ‘beautifully manicured playing’ (Pianist), ‘captures Douglas’s sound perfectly’ (International Piano), and will ‘leave you a different person’ (Gramophone).

Reviews excerpts of some of individual volumes contained in this set:

Brahms: Works for Solo Piano, Vol. 6

His hefty, full-bodied sound, built from the bottom up, befits the mellow power of Brahms’s sound world.

– Gramophone

Brahms: Works for Solo Piano, Vol. 5

Douglas's powerful tone and serious demeanour captures the composer's uncompromising side; yet there's a sense of flow that makes the intermezzos generous and warm without veering towards emotional indulgence.

– BBC Music Magazine

Brahms: Works for Solo Piano, Vol. 4

He comes fully alive throughout the C major Sonata. His proportioned rubatos in the first movement's second theme and broodingly sustained Andante imbue the unwieldy textures with colour and variety.

– Gramophone
