Info (Wikipedia):

Robert Simpson (1921–1997) was an English composer and long-serving BBC producer and broadcaster. He is best known for his orchestral and chamber music (including 11 symphonies and 15 string quartets), and for his writings on the music of Beethoven, Bruckner, Nielsen and Sibelius. He studied composition under Herbert Howells. Remarkably for a composer who was still alive, a Robert Simpson Society was formed in 1980 by individuals concerned that Simpson's music was unfairly neglected.
[...]
Two significant features of Simpson's oeuvre are his ability to write long works entirely based on a single basic pulse, with faster or slower tempi being suggested by smaller or larger note-values, and the establishment of a dynamic tension between competing tonalities or intervals.

Simpson's works are consistently logical, thoroughly well thought out and organized, and are of considerable intellectual interest.

Reviews:
Penguin CD Guide
No one who cares about 20th-century music in general should pass these performances by, for it is music of a vital and forceful eloquence. Exemplary recording.

Fanfare
Breathtaking renditions of two of the most masterful milestones on Robert Simpson's continuing re-invention of symphonic thinking. [...] Robert Simpson's Fifth Symphony is one of the finest such works composed this century. [...] Blazing and epic.

Hi Fi News
A marvellous addition to Hyperion's invaluable Simpson series and a 'must buy' if ever I heard one.
