I heard this while driving today; it has a number of very familiar passages which I'm sure I"ve heard a dozen times, but couldn't remember where. It sounds like it should be soundtrack from Brief Encounter, but a quick search reveals that it was composed by Richard Addinsell for the 1941 British movie, Dangerous Moonlight.
I've not seen either of those movies. I suspect my familiarity with it stems either from this: "The Concerto is frequently used in championship figure skating (especially in Japan)" or from its use as a filler for 10-minute spaces in classical music radio programming.The film-makers wanted something in the style of Sergei Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini or the Second and Third Piano Concertos, but were unable to persuade Rachmaninoff himself to write a new piece or to afford to obtain the rights for any of these existing pieces. The music was later used in another film, The Sea Wolves (1980)...
And now I can't resist reposting that parody of the closing scene of Brief Encounter.
