Ominous drumbeats announce an 'adagio' of mournful, agonizing despair and resignation, followed by a 'vivace' consisting of a vicious renewed attack and futile attempt to overcome it. Music depicting contests of endurance such as this came often in Panufnik's output. This concerto is impressive, though certainly not easy listening.
