Listening to the music on this two-disc set, you may wonder why the chamber works of Swedish Romantic composer Franz Berwald are not more frequently recorded. It can't be because of his themes, which are strong, sweet, and distinctive; or because of his harmonies, which are powerful, rich, and cogent; or because of his forms, which are innovative, inventive, and indestructible. The only possible reason for this music's neglect is that there's only so much room in the world for great music, and unfortunately, Berwald, Schubert, Schumann, Mendelssohn, Brahms, and Dvorák have apparently already occupied all the space allocated to chamber music of the Romantic period.

Still, anyone listening to the music on this two-disc set will have to wonder if there's not enough room for Berwald, too. Scottish pianist Susan Tomes and the English Gaudier Ensemble are wonderfully persuasive advocates for Berwald, performing his music with the same dedication and enthusiasm that other performers bring to the music of his more popular contemporaries. Try any work here from the colorful Quartet in E flat major for piano and winds to dramatic Piano Trio in F minor to the heroic Piano Quintet in C minor and you'll discover a composer fully worthy to stand with the best of his contemporaries. Indeed, the only question left after listening straight through both discs is: how is Berwald's orchestral music? (The answer, by the way, is: every bit as good as his chamber music.) Captured in Hyperion's lush digital sound, these performances should help establish Berwald's reputation.
