Ros was fun to watch but whenever Katarina Witt was in teh show I think Roz had issues with playing second fiddle to her, and tried to hard to be sexy... it was quite annoying lol
Classical music that I'm surprised hasn't been used for skating?

LOL this is going to sound weird, but when I was growing up there was an TV ad for fancy cat food that used this music, so that's what I think of whenever I hear it!

Well I guess the English have classy cat food ads. :yes:
Here is another favorite Faure piece of mine:

This might be good for a dog food commercial

Haha well actually I grew up in Australia and that's where I saw the commercial! I remember the cat in it was called Natasha!
More seriously, I wonder if anyone has ever skated to Elgar's Cello Concerto? It has such a big swelling epic feel to it, I thought it would make a good skating piece!

Olympia, I'm impressed with your knowledge of harp repertoir!
May I ask you if you are a harpist?
I happen to be one and could not recomend better harp music than you did!

That was very nice, but it was Moonlight Sonata (which I love), not Fur Elise.
Lol, I realized my mistake the day after, thus I posted Rosalynn Sumners lovely performance. I got the blondes mixed up. 
I love Beethoven, period, so anybody that skates to his music I remember, especially when it's done as well as the two aforementioned lovely ladies.:thumbsup:
By the way, people might think after what I posted about Katarina Witt that I prefer her over Roz, which is true when it came to their professional careers, but not their competitive ones. Sorry to say, but I always preferred Katarina to Rosalynn, this is the truth. I cheered for Witt at both the 1984 & 1988 Olympics. Unless you were a figure skating fan at the time, it really is hard to put into words how famous, gorgeous, charismatic, dramatic, et al Katarina Witt was ~ only Sonja Henie compares to her in my humble opinion ~ Witt had it all (huge understatement)! In fact, if one takes a look at ALL the Olympic Champions throughout history, the one thing that stands out the most/separates them from the rest of the pack is C-O-N-F-I-D-E-N-C-E. Katarina had it in spades...

I understand Lambiel has been thinking of changing his music.
Maybe he should try this version of William Tell as performed by the legendary "Portsmouth Sinfonia."

You're a harpist? How wonderful! I've always thought that harps make musical notes sound like rays of light. Thank you for the compliment about my "harp knowledge"! I am not a harpist, alas. But I love music so much, and I do a lot of poking around in music stores and on the radio. (And now on YouTube!) During my various explorations, I happened upon all the wonderful harp music. There's also a certain amount of baroque material, but I prefer the Romantic repertoire for this instrument.
