Darcey Bussell

In conversation with Sean Rafferty, Darcey Bussell chooses Mahler, Mendelssohn, Mozart and Prokofiev from the 麻豆社 Experience Classical Archive.

The first of this week's special Radio 3 in Concert programmes, in which Sean Rafferty meets much-loved figures from the worlds of dance, drama and the media.
This evening, former ballerina and Strictly judge Darcey Bussell shares some of her classical music favourites with Sean, and reveals some of the stories behind her choices, including the turning point in her teenage years when she was selected to dance to the slow movement of Mahler's Fifth Symphony. Other music includes works by Mozart, Mendelssohn and Prokofiev.
