To the question: when are we going to see Simpson's 11th Symphony (on CD)? Short answer: I don't know. Slightly longer answer: I can only say that the Robert Simpson Society has been trying to get Ted Perry and Hyperion to record this for a while now. At issue are the total costs involved. Various schemes to combine the recording with the London premiere have fallen through. I am lucky enough to know what the premiere sounded like, two movements both of which gather momentum (more successfully than anything he wrote since the 4th Symphony IMHO), with the scoring placed firmly in the sound world of the coda of the 9th symphony. From commercial recordings, you will only know the 9th Symphony coda, but there are several pieces written after that which have a similar, characteristic, sound (e.g. the flute concerto, and the variations on a theme by Bach - almost like a "late period"?). Sorry I cannot give a firm date, Andy Jackson
