      About Robert Simpson

      Robert Simpson, born in Leamington, England, in 1921, was a towering figure in 20th-century British music, renowned for his symphonies and string quartets. A prolific composer and distinguished musicologist, Simpson's work is celebrated for its power, originality, and intellectual depth. His compositions, which include 11 symphonies and 16 string quartets, have been likened to those of Beethoven for their structural complexity and emotional resonance. Simpson's career spanned over three decades at the BBC, where he served as a producer and broadcaster, advocating for neglected composers and shaping the cultural landscape of the time. His resignation from the BBC in 1980 over funding cuts and orchestra reductions underscored his commitment to artistic integrity. Simpson's music, though long overlooked outside of Britain, is now gaining wider recognition thanks to dedicated recordings and advocacy from organizations like the Robert Simpson Society. His legacy as a composer and writer on music continues to inspire and challenge musicians and audiences alike.
