ReplyDeletedaisychain - thank you !
ReplyDeleteDarcey Bussell is so beautiful, I wish I could have watched the BBC show!
ReplyDeleteAmy C - I think it's been shown quite a few times now so you may be able to find a copy somewhere ... some of the clips were of her dancing, including Song of The Earth which was definately recorded.
