Britten : Overture, Paul Bunyan (1977). Orchestra

Britten completed the original version of Paul Bunyan in 1942. However he was unhappy with it and withdrew the work. He revisited it in 1974 and wrote a new introduction. This is an orchestration of the original overture, which was written by Britten only in piano form.
