Simpson: Symphonies Nos 3 & 5
Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Vernon Handley (conductor)
CDA66728
All of the music on this album is also available as part of the specially priced box set The Complete Symphonies of Robert Simpson: ‘One of the outstanding recording projects of our time … this Hyperion series deserves to stand as a monument while other more superficially glamorous ventures rise and fall around it. If it does not do so, and if it does not eventually force Simpson’s breakthrough into the orchestral repertoire, there will truly be no justice’ (Gramophone).
