Elgar's Cello Concerto in E minor

I first heard this piece from the film Hilary and Jackie, based on the life of cellist Jacqueline du Pre, who, incidentally, was played by one of my favorite actresses, Emily Watson. Elgar started working on the concerto after World War I and his wife, Alice became very ill around the same time and died a few months after the premiere of the cello concerto. It represented for Elgar, the despair he felt after the war and his feelings about death and mortality. But even without the historical background, one can hear the lament and angst all throughout the concerto. The definitive performance for this concerto was performed by Jacqueline du Pre in 1961 with London Symphony Orchestra.

Here's a link to the more detailed history of the creation of this concerto:
