Editing Robert Simpson (composer) (section)

==Work as record producer==
Robert Simpson was also the producer for the first commercially available recordings of [[Havergal Brian]]’s music. Symphonies Nos. 10 and 21, conducted by [[James Loughran]] and [[Eric Pinkett]] respectively, were recorded at the [[De Montfort Hall]], [[Leicester]] in 1972. The music was performed by the [[Leicestershire Schools Symphony Orchestra]] and the LP was released by [[Unicorn-Kanchana|Unicorn Records]] to great critical acclaim in 1973. A special edition of the television programme ''Aquarius'' called ''The Unknown Warrior'' gave considerable coverage to the recording session and a camera crew also joined Robert Simpson and members of the orchestra during a visit they made to the composer's home in [[Shoreham-by-Sea|Shoreham]] (see video links below).  Following the success of the Unicorn issue, a second Brian album, also produced by Robert Simpson, was recorded by the LSSO in 1974 at [[Hove]] Town Hall and [[Leicester]] [[De Montfort Hall]] with the conducting being shared by [[László Heltay]] and Eric Pinkett. This CBS release included the 22nd Symphony, Brian's setting of the 23rd Psalm (which clearly belongs to the mainstream British choral tradition of Vaughan Williams and Parry) and the English Suite ''Rustic Scenes'' which contains some highly original music.{{Citation needed|date=June 2021}}
