‘Innovation is the watchword for the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra….The energy and persuasiveness of his (Barry Douglas’) solo playing were unflinching’ The Irish Times

‘Douglas, who can do glittering and powerfully sonorous as well as any other pianist, was engagingly self-effacing without losing character, the most demanding technical challenges manfully negotiated.’ ClassicalSource.com
