'I remember Gorbachev came to the final concert that I played and it was amazing just to see him.' Belfast-born pianist Barry Douglas has played all over the world but some concerts are more memorable than others
"I remember Gorbachev came to the final concert that I played and it was amazing just to see him."
Now internationally renowned, Douglas sat down with John Toal for Radio Ulster's Irish Music Icons to reflect on his life, influence and legacy. "She brought a different term of reference to the history of piano and the history of music because of that link with Liszt." Alongside life as a touring international concert pianist, Douglas made the decision to move his family home to Northern Ireland, dividing their time between County Armagh and Paris.
