I think La Strada is a great choice!!! But I think this is an interesting choice since (IIRC) only pairs or dance teams have skated to this. Wait - I think Yoshie Onda had a Nino Rota program, but ditched it after a couple of competitions.Nobody got happy on Takahashi's La Strada??I m so excited for Dai I dont know anyone else except Graziev to skate to that:scratch:
I for one am happy. It's a decent piece of music. Can't say I'm crazy happy about Camerlengo being his new free skate choreographer, but it can work out exceptionally well, I guess. I like some of Pasquale's works, but some are pretty generic, IMHO. Anyways, Daisuke needed a change and a challenge, so now he's got both. Go Daisuke!Nobody got happy on Takahashi's La Strada??I m so excited for Dai I dont know anyone else except Graziev to skate to that:scratch:
A number of skaters have used Zorba the Greek:SP- Zorba the Greek
LP- The Godfather
Good luck, Tomas! Has anyone ever skated a competitive program to Zorba the Greek?
Earlier today I mentioned (on another thread) that Tomas Verner's new programs have apparently been announced in the Czech media. This has now been confirmed on his fan forum and I'm therefore posting the information here.

Somehow I am not thrilled. I never got the appeal with Zorba the Greek, the only people who know this music are apparently figure skaters and fans. I would even call it overused in figure skating. And The Godfather - bleh....SP- Zorba the Greek
LP- The Godfather
I hadn't realized Zorba had been overused - I couldn't remember seeing it (as my post indicates ) and most of what has been listed here is not from recent years. I'm personally not a huge fan but maybe Tomas will make it fun. At the very worst, as seniorita pointed out, it will be a change of pace from the tangos.Somehow I am not thrilled.

I'm pretty sure Laura Lepistö is using the same SP as last season (Imagined Oceans by Karl Jenkins). Rumour has it her LP will be a tango, I sure hope not though as that's pretty similar to the Don Juan LP she's had for the past two seasons. She should try something really different, maybe a waltz or some piano music. I think she'd do well with Elgar's Cello Concerto or Sibelius' Valse Triste, plus, in the case of the latter, it's nice to pick music from your home country in an olympic year.
very true, there's something powerfully dark yet romance-ful about her skating or her look. ...or maybe its just her FD look
We will have see how Rochette choices will play out. .
Her FP is ugh....idk... Samson and Delilah. I was REALLY hoping that she pick Grieg's Piano Concerto in A Minor instead....
