Background: Britten's Piano Concerto is commonly performed today in the 1945 revision in which the original third movement was replaced by an Impromptu. This disc includes the rarely recorded abandoned third movement, offering the option of hearing the work as Britten originally envisaged it.

Recent years have brought to light a number of earlier works by Britten which he decided not to publish or re-use. The Overture to Paul Bunyan was later orchestrated from the piano score, while the Suite from incidental music to J B Priestley's play Johnson Over Jordan, makes a worthwhile addition to the store of occasional works composed by Britten in the 1930s.
