Simpson - The Complete Symphonies
Label: Hyperion Catalog: CDS44191/7 Format: CD Penguin Guide 2011 edition “although the world of feeling his music encompasses may be complex, his language retains a basic simplicity of utterance...Handley is a masterly interpreter...For anyone interested in the progress of the symphony in England in the twentieth century, this is a self-recommending set.” Gramophone Magazine “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” Price: $79.98 |
