    Following the varied programming of Johannes Brahms: Works for Solo Piano, Vol. 1, Barry Douglas presents a mix of early and late pieces to give the second volume emotional balance, and sets a series of short pieces against a monumental masterpiece. Douglas is a thoughtful and eloquent performer, and his Brahms has the hallmarks of serious consideration and introspection; nothing here is superfluous or simply offered for show. The sensitive selection of three Ballades and three Intermezzi to frame the muscular Rhapsody Op. 119/4, gives the first part of the program an internal unity and feeling of logical organization, even though the shifting moods feel as effortless and unplanned as clouds passing on a sunny afternoon. The Sonata No. 3 is placed at the end of the recital, as befits its stature, and Douglas' interpretation gives it the feeling of gravitas and inevitability. Yet it also partakes of the fleeting moods that were carefully prepared in the early part of the program, so Douglas' shaping of this album shows great care in preparation. Chandos provides a pleasant recorded sound that makes the piano sound close enough for intimate passages but big and spacious enough for the grand statements.

    Review by Blair Sanderson, Allmusic.com

    Following the triumph of rich delights that was Volume 1 of this series, Barry Douglas presents a mixed-and-matched selection culminating in the great F minor Sonata, Op. 5, written shortly after the 20-year-old composer had met Robert and Clara Schumann. Its five-movement span, here 37 minutes long, makes it his most extensive solo piano work. It is furthermore his strongest leaning towards ‘programme music’ on a large scale: the second movement quotes a love poem by Sternau, while the fourth is unmistakeably a funeral march. Douglas precedes this miraculous composition with a selection from the Op. 10 Ballades and the late piano pieces, including the final Rhapsody Op. 119 No. 4.

    The programming is perhaps slightly less satisfying than the first volume’s, as the coupling of Brahms’s early masterpiece with his very last Rhapsody represents a leap of nearly 40 years. Douglas superbly draws out the contrasts within each piece, bringing out their individual character, but the two ends of the Brahms life spectrum, between grand maestro and youthful Romantic, seem perhaps closer than is entirely comfortable. Yet Douglas’s pianism is as rewarding as before: his tone is a deep velvet cushion, the legatos full of affection and the rhythms galvanised with great energy.
