Will Duerden, Levi Andreassen, Daniil Margulis (Kontrabass) // Most of Simpson's chamber music was recorded in the '80s and '90s, but with some gaps in the discography. The Robert Simpson Society has sponsored two albums to plug them, this first one including a string quartet and two songs that came to light only after the composer's death. In later life Simpson used to say that poems good enough to set to music didn't need it - but these essays prove that he was already a master.
