Gerald Finzi - Cello Concerto Op. 40 II - Andante Quieto

Here is the second movement of Gerald Finzi's Cello Concerto, which moved me greatly when I first heard it. (Third movement here: • Gerald Finzi - Cello C... )
This was his last work - a typically affecting Finzian composition here in the middle movement, and a fine performance from Tim Hugh and Howard Griffiths' Northern Sinfonia.
I hope you enjoy it.
I took these pictures of various parts of Derbyshire's Peak District in the snowy winter of 2009.
