Beautiful!

OMG is all I can say. As familiar as I am with this piece, I have never seen the ballet, and am so glad that this is available. Agreed, if the BBC were to make this available I would buy it in an instant.

My thanks too . The BBC MUST be made to issue this recording on DVD. The choreography and that sublime music matched perfectly (even down to the M and S shirts and trousers !)

[RandyHooHa]

This is gold! Thanks very much for posting it in its entirety.

@wfizyta --Also to QuietGuyCO--There have been many different versions & choreographies of Daphnis & Chloe through the years. So glad to get to see this one. Wish it would be released officially, as this gala appears to have been packed with gems.

Its so beautiful, I always wanted to see the whole ballet. Thanks for posting.

There is another version of Daphnis and Chloe by Hamburg Ballet. I wonder if somebody have seen it?

[QuietGuyCO]

I've admired this music for a long time and always wondered what the choreography might look like! Now I know! Thanks for posting this!

Serendipity strikes again!

Found this by pure accident, what a treat.

Too bad there isn't a dvd.
