War Horse composer Adrian Sutton, now living with an incurable cancer diagnosis, releases his new album of orchestral works including a Violin Concerto with the BBC Philharmonic out in October on Chandos. 'How long have I got to live? No idea ... but in my situation, I can't waste time thinking about things I can't change ... and I've never been so productive in my life. Seize the day.' - Adrian Sutton
