International Women’s Day falls on 8 March, celebrating the ‘social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women’. Volume 70 in our Romantic Piano Concerto series champions three female composers, and three works whose in-the-face-of-it-all joie de vivre makes them irresistibly worthy of our attention.

Pick of the bunch is the Concerto by Amy Beach, which she premiered with the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1900. It's a big ambitious piece in four movements, with a perpetual movement scherzo before the deeply felt slow movement. (this) deserves a place in the repertoire, how about a Proms performance for a start? Performance **** Recording *** –BBC Music Magazine,Mar'17

In Danny Driver's hands, it is enchanting- as indeed is the whole disc, a worthy addition to this series. –Gramophone, Mar'17

Hyperion pairs the British and American composers, supported by a short Concertstück by Cécile Chaminade /// 5* - Cast in four movements, it's [Beach: Piano Concerto in C sharp minor, Op 45] a consummately crafted, big-hearted and richly lyrical creation that most assuredly deserves wider exposure. I'm happy to report that Danny Driver does this substantial work absolutely proud, and he enjoys terrific support from the BBC Scottish SO under Rebecca Miller…In sum, an exemplary addition to Hyperion's long-running Romantic Piano Concerto series. Vividly truthful sound and excellent presentation, too. –Ft, Mar'17 /// Classical Ear, 9 Mar'17
