Gerald Finzi - Cello Concerto, Op. 40 (1955) [Score-Video]

[@PianoHypnoshroom]

composed when Finzi was informed of the then incurable Hodgkin's disease... under stress he produced a masterpiece

This is the first time that I have heard the concerto, after reading a short biography of the composer. I wonder if it was his response on hearing the devastating news of his terminal illness.
