Robert Wilfred Levick Simpson (2 March 1921 – 21 November 1997) was an English composer, as well as a long-serving BBC producer and broadcaster. He is best known for his orchestral and chamber music (particularly those in the key classical forms: 11 symphonies and 15 string quartets), and for his writings on the music of Beethoven, Bruckner, Nielsen and Sibelius. He studied composition under Herbert Howells. Remarkably for a living contemporary composer, a Robert Simpson Society was formed in 1980 by individuals concerned that Simpson's music had been unfairly neglected. The society aims to bring Simpson's music to a wider public by sponsoring recordings and live performances of his work, by issuing a journal and other publications, and by maintaining an archive of material relating to the

  • Robert Wilfred Levick Simpson (2. března 1921 Royal Leamington Spa – 21. listopadu 1997 Tralee, Irsko) byl anglický skladatel a dlouholetý producent a moderátor stanice BBC. Nejznámější je jeho orchestrální a komorní hudba (obzvláště ve stěžejních klasických formách: 11 symfonií a 15 smyčcových kvartet) a dále jeho spisy o Beethoveně, Brucknerově, Nielsenově a Sibeliově hudbě. Studoval skladbu u britského skladatele Herberta Howellse.

Cílem společnosti je přinést Simpsonovu hudbu širší veřejnosti sponzorováním nahrávek a živých představení jeho děl, vydáním časopisu a dalších publikací a archivováním materiálu týkajícího se sk (cs)
