Why not get yourself a DVD of Torvill and Deans performances (I am sure they will have one on Amazon). Obviously, that will have the correct recording of Bolero. Good luck.

They used the original music by Ravel. Due to the rules of the music being a certain length Ravel's Bolero was too long so had to be shortened down from 20 minutes to 4 minutes 18 seconds. It was still slightly too long which is why they started on their knees

As Ravel was the composer it is the only Version! But every orchestra sounds different depending on how many instruments they use! They used an arrangement that shortened it to fit the program and I dont think that was released as a single! It is on quite a few DVD's featuring Torvill & Dean so I suggest you get one and copy the sound track from it!

There's a bit of info on wikipedia about how they had to cut down the length of the piece of music, but I'm not sure info about the actual version would be available.
