'Dark Pastoral' a fragment of Vaughan Williams's unfinished Cello Concerto, reconstructed by David Matthews.
"Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm" (Churchill).

Let's talk Torke! May be it is more dark charcoal grey with a few reflective glimmers of light....
All synesthete jokes aside, this is very fine piece, and I think one of this composer's best.
It just may fit the requirement of that which the OP seeks.


Best regards.

Agree with Snyprrr mentioning Kabalevsky´s 2nd/Wallfisch and the Denisov one, especially in the Georgian/Kitayeno recording (as opposed to the more nondescript Vista Vera recording).

I've searched, and I'm back to the beginning...
Yeah, you and me both. I've still not found a truly noisy painting.

I wonder why that is so....

The darkest mainstream cello concerto for me is the Elgar.
"Why do so many of us try to explain the beauty of music thus depriving it of its mystery?" Leonard Bernstein. (Wait a minute!! Didn't Bernstein spend most of his life doing exactly that???)

There is one by Jörg Widmann titled "Dunkle Saiten" ("dark strings", with a pun on "Dunkle Seiten" (= dark sides)) I have that disk but can't comment on the piece; it has been to long that I heard it.
