its okay, everyone needs to see how brilliant that program is and Giada is (even though technically she is behind)
i want to add Elizabet to the list too, her EX at SA will remain as one of my favourites for a long time as well as her SP from last season :luv17:

Sasha was very natural, just a born dancer, even when she was very young she could use her whole body to interpret music. Just watch a 15 year old Sasha:

BTW What do you mean by 'jumps not there'? - Sasha had landed five triples in that LP exactly as OGM, Shizuka... if it wasn't for a fall and a hand down she could have won.

Thank you! If I were at my high-speed internet location, I'd have looked him up last night. I tried looking just now, and even another GS thread took too long for my work schedule today.
I think Petrov did one of his programs this season to "Bring Him Home," and it was very beautiful skating and interpretation. I only "discovered" him at SC.

I'm happy for my Giada promotion being quite productive
And I'm seconding Sasha Petrov! Some people seem to find him lacking in personality, but he's got really good musicality, the best among the young men to my mind.
So am I, happy
that is. This is exactly what I was looking for with this thread, musical skaters I need to watch for. I hope people will keep adding to the list.

Yay! Thank you for starting a great thread!
I think that skater in your mind is not Sasha... seems like Daisuke Murakami??

:thumbsup: you're very welcome.
Thanks for the correction. The skater is Sasha, I remember him vividly. Also, at that point I already knew who Murakami was. My memory was apparently fuzzy on the musical selection. But I loved his musical expression, and since then I've watched some of his older programs. I thought his skating as a junior was very mature; and the feeling I get is that of course he plans to do all the jumps he needs to be competitive, but his passion and focus are music, performance, quality skating.

I don't know if others will agree with me but I was a big fan of Stannick Jeannette. Rondo Capriccioso is definetely my favourite program he did.

Two of Michelle's programs always stand out to me - first because I totally love the music and second because she interpreted both with such feeling and emotion. East of Eden and Fields of Gold.

1. I am shocked no one has mentioned the name Carolina Kostner yet.
2. I feel compelled to nominate this program. It is the first thing that popped into my mind when I read "Stellar Musical Quality" in the thread title.

The reason is the original poster was looking for skaters he could see at Worlds 2016. So Kostner doesn't enter in that category

Daisuke Takahashi and Akiko Suzuki. They simply got it.
I'd also add Yebin Mok, Carolina Kostner, and Stephane Lambiel.
So many ice dancers but some are just a rung above...like Denkova/Stavisky, the Duchesnays, and Klimova/Ponomarenko.

Why are we going back to past eras when the OP asked about 2016 Worlds?
I mean, I could answer "Toller" to almost any music/artist/interpretation thread, and I'd be right.
Back on track, for lesser knowns for Worlds, I really enjoyed the performance style of Julian Yee (Malyasia), at least in the LP. Music of the only vid I found is blocked.:furious: But I would go to the early rounds to watch him skate.

That version of East of Eden (my slow computer wouldn't give me the vid, but I think it's the one she did at 1998 World Pro?) is my absolutely forever favorite Michelle Kwan program ever. She skated to that music many times during her career, once when she was about 13 and once in the early 2000s. But this was the most exquisite program. I get major chills when I watch it and often it moves me to tears.
I watched her skate to Fields of Gold at the 2002 Olympic exhibit and, to date, at least, haven't been able to watch it again.
