A powerful and original symphonist, Robert Simpson (1921-1997) gave new life to the form at a time when the avant garde was enthusiastically declaring its death. His Symphony No 3 is dedicated to his friend and fellow composer Havergal Brian. It is a work of dramatic contrasts and irrepressible energy; Robert Simpson described the second of its two movements as “a huge composed accelerando”. The London Symphony Orchestra is heard here under legendary Russian conductor Jascha Horenstein.
"This CD picks up part of [Simpson's] early legacy and presents it in all its pioneering freshness... This is a valuable document of the world's earliest awakening to Simpson's distinctive and completely genuine voice."
Rob Barnett, MusicWeb, 2006
