Simpson: Symphonies Nos 3 & 5

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).

‘One of the great symphonies of the post-war era, magnificently realised by all concerned. This issue is surely destined to be a jewel in Hyperion's already starry Simpson crown’ (Gramophone)
‘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’ (The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs)
‘Superb performances from all concerned. Nothing but the highest recommendation will do’ (Classic CD)
