Deryk Barker wrote of the Simpson symphonies:

A quick check reveals two - the CD of 2nd and 4th, and the 9th. Another
had a grant from the GB Arts Council.
Further to the 11th, the Robert Simpson Society's web page some time back
said:
"Please note that the London Premiere of Simpson's 11th Symphony,
with Matthew Taylor (its dedicatee) conducting, will take place on
October 4 1999."
I haven't checked to see if there's been an update but I wondered if there
was a review in any of the UK papers.
