  • hi ai51inn - great i uploaded the right one! i'll be uploading more tonight - hope you'll enjoy them, nick

  • @nickwallacesmith Yes, this is it! - so beautiful - thanks Nick :-)

  • hi ai51inn - i've just uploaded the Margot Fonteyn and Rudolph Nureyev in Act 1 of 'Giselle' during their Australian tour of 1964 - i hope this is the film you wanted to see - their other 1962 'Giselle' seems to still be on the channel, best, nick

  • @nickwallacesmith Thanks Nick - I would love to see the Margot Fonteyn "Giselle" again? That would be lovely.

  • hi SuperLuckydream - great you liked it! i loved putting this one together.

  • hi drrabner47 - it was fun to put all these little interviews together - and yes i think they were all pretty in awe of diaghilev - he was such a strong and determined personality! glad you liked it, nick

  • hi ai51inn - i cobbled together these various interviews with people who'd had first hand contact with diaghilev cos it brings him alive in a unique way.

    yes, i lost around 200 uploads and am re-posting them at the moment - may take a bit of time but it should be finished soon enough

    if there are any films you particularly miss, tell me and i'll upload them soon

    good to hear from you as usual, best, nick

  • hi Tamara02031919 - it's great hearing people talk about direct experience they've had with diaghilev - brings him alive in a way that reading about him cannot. best as usual, nick
