Robert Simpson
Robert Simpson was an impressively single-minded composer whose output is crowned by 11 symphonies and 15 string quartets. He also wrote extensively on the work of Beethoven, Bruckner, Nielsen and Sibelius – all composers who influenced his own mission of creating dynamic musical architectures linked to tradition through the gravitational forces of tonality.
