Well, knock me over with a feather. I had forgotten that. Anyone remember why Lori didn't choreograph for their prize student in an Olympic year?
IIRC, Evan used Rhapsody in Blue (which I actually call the Gershwin Medley program since other pieces were used in addition to Rhapsody) choreographed by TT for the 2008-2009 season. It was either after a Grand Prix event or Nationals (where Evan came in 3rd) that Lori was brought in to revamp the program. If it was after Nationals, it was successful since he won WorldsWhy am I thinking Evan used Rhapsody in Blue by TT and revised by Lori?
Interesting question! I have no idea where one could find that out, short of contacting Lori herself. I, alas, can be of no help to you. With few exceptions, I can't pick out one recording from another, and I'm not sure they give out that information when handing out program notes for the skaters' music. I always feel lucky if they even tell us what the piece is. Many of them I can recognize, but it wasn't until this year that I learned that the beginning notes of Kwan's "Song of the Black Swan" program actually came from a piece with that name by Brazilian composer Hector Villa-Lobos. (I knew it wasn't from the Dvorak chamber work that formed the rest of the program, but that wasn't much of a help to me!)
Maybe someone else will have an idea of where that information is available. If so, I'd love to learn the answer also!
Thanks for Curry!
Watching that clip reminded me of how he skated with Peggy and Janet. Then it made me wish he was with us today, maybe skating with Shizuka or Alissa.
Or Mao, Yuna, Laura, Caro.
Wouldn't that be something?
