Omnibus presenting: Blow the Wind Southerly

on BBC One London

A film portrait of Kathleen Ferrier
with Winifred Ferrier, Benjamin Britten, Sir John Barbirolli, Peter Pears, Gerald Moore and many of Kathleen Ferrier's friends and colleagues

A second showing of the widely praised documentary made for the fifteenth anniversary of Kathleen Ferrier's death.

"An overpowering experience, I've never been more moved by a piece of television." (Peter Black, Daily Mail)
"Much better than a mere tribute. It evokes an enormous nostalgia." (The Observer)
"What was so moving was the very 'ordinariness' of this girl, called on to become 'a great artist' then called on for something more: to die on the very threshold of her maturity." (The Guardian)
