I've watched other versions - "Bolero" is one of my all-time favorite compositions - but this is new (to me) and absolutely wonderful!

I was really getting into it, and smiling at the toothpick baton, loving the conductor's facial expressions - SO expressive! Full screen HD quality and it transported me on a morning I really needed it.

Thank you again!

Got an Oscar for best short feature; available online. Will be interested to see how this one compares.
