This was a Thames Television commission broadcast around Christmas time in 1989 and never, to my knowledge, repeated. An ephemera, as in the case of the original performance in 1589. A re-mastered DVD release would be great but I doubt there would be enough commercial interest even if the original masters were available.
A VHS video was released by EMI Classics ( MVD 99 123 23) together with a CD of the soundtrack (CDC 7 47998 2) and is a Thames Television / Taverner Consort production.
Thanks for posting this! I had this many years ago on Laser Disk and have long missed it!

I cannot believe this is real.
What a wonderful job they did.
Would it be available on DVD?
Is this Emma Kirkby singing ?
