Notes & Reviews:

A powerful and original symphonist, Simpson was born in 1921 and died in 1997. He worked as Senior Producer at the BBC for 28 years and was one of Britain's best-known broadcasters, before he resigned in 1980 after attempted orchestral cuts by an organization whose views he then "no longer respected." Amongst his output Simpson wrote 11 symphonies and 15 string quartets and his music almost always took the larger forms of Western classical music, a tradition which was under fire from the Darmstadt radicals of the time who were claiming that the "symphony was dead."
