No Ravel?


My dear old dad loved this which he recorded off TV and encouraged me to watch Danny Kaye and the NY Phil when I was 12 or 13. I'm now 42, and bought a VHS copy which I then converted to DVD to present to him. I've just refreshed my own memory, and noticed that in the VHS there was no Ravel's Balero (Rayvel's Bollero) where Mr Kaye wandered away from the orchestra and just let them play conductorless. Kinda disappointing as I remember this section being my fave from 30 years ago.

VHS edition omits Bolero. Nobody knows why. I have my own TV rip on DVD and it's in full edition with Bolero. The whole show is some 8 minutes longer. Maybe some rights problem?
Really don't understand.
