  Franz Berwald - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Franz Adolf Berwald (born in Stockholm on July 23, 1796 and died there on April 3, 1868) was a Swedish Romantic composer who was generally ignored during his lifetime and had to make his living as an orthopedic surgeon and, later, as the manager of a saw mill and glass factory.

Franz Berwald's fame rests chiefly on the remarkable series of symphonies and tone poems he penned in the 1840s.
The music on the present disc, however, is all from the eighteen-teens and -twenties and represents Berwald as a contented composer of Biedermeier confections long on charm and short on more ambitious motives.
Berwald's is one of the finest such imitations, a real charmer, with a wealth of melody and skillful writing for the instruments, both as individuals and as members of the larger ensemble.

Berwald was an early Romantic and his music is almost verdantly fresh: to my mind, it constantly evokes the dappled light and shade of a northern forest in midsummer.
Berwald isn't as great a composer as those three; his symphonies never strive to reach the stars.
