To mark the release of his new album, composer and clarinettist Mark Simpson joins Gramophone Editor Martin Cullingford for our latest podcast, to explore its captivating – and interlinked – mixture of old and new repertoire. Opening with a wonderfully textured work by Simpson himself, Geysir, the album then continues with Mozart's Gran Partita - and is released today on Orchid Classics.
