Hyperion's Romantic Piano Concerto series reaches its 70th album with
this program of three concertos by women. The ongoing success of the
series suggests that audiences are ready and waiting for wider
repertoire, and pianist Danny Driver and the BBC Scottish Symphony
Orchestra under Rebecca Miller deliver a real find here. The Piano
Concerto in C sharp minor, Op. 45, of American composer Amy Beach has
been performed and recorded, but it's been in search of a recording that
captures the autobiographical quality of the work, well sketched out in
the booklet notes by Nigel Simeone. Essentially, Beach faced creative
repression from her religious mother and to a lesser extent from her
husband, who allowed her to compose, but only rarely to perform. These
experiences, it may be said, poured out in this towering Brahmsian,
four-movement piano concerto, which sets up an unusual quality of
struggle between soloists and orchestra. It's this dynamic that's so
well captured by Driver and Miller (who happen to be married to each
other). Sample the opening movement, which has lacked this quality in
earlier performances. Also worthwhile is the Concertstück in C sharp
minor, Op. 40, of French composer Cécile Chaminade, now rarely
represented on programs, but at one time so popular in the U.S. that
there were more than 200 Chaminade Clubs there. Driver also gets the
light, zippy quality of this work, which endeared Chaminade to
audiences, if not to critics, for many years. The opening Piano Concerto
in D minor of Britain's Dorothy Howell is less obviously in need of
revival, but this recording is worth the time and money for the Beach
performance alone. James Manheim
