[Mathman]

LP: Prelude Op. 3 No. 2 In C Sharp Minor "Bell" by Rachmaninoff

Michelle Kwan's 2006 LP music, never performed. Michelle will probably use it if she comes back! :yes:

 

[Medusa]

Mao's Program Music is revealed to be:

SP: Masquerade by Khachaturian
LP: Prelude Op. 3 No. 2 In C Sharp Minor "Bell" by Rachmaninoff

Heh? So her long program from last year will be turned into a short program?

Love the Rachmaninov choice, beautiful piece, not overused.

[Morning Glory]

Mao's Program Music is revealed to be:

SP: Masquerade by Khachaturian
LP: Prelude Op. 3 No. 2 In C Sharp Minor "Bell" by Rachmaninoff

Why Masquerade again:no:

She said she would use another part of Masquerade, more cheerful and fun. She also mentioned to try 3A in her SP though the jump layout had not confirmed yet.

I liked a lot the part of masquerade she used last year, just not her lp much.

I checked with Tat and she said it is a special , secret "Russian" fan..

Thanks for the clips. Mao looks happy and more grown up. And awfully cute imo.

I like Mao's LP music so much:

But no more Masquerade Waltz....

 

[Tinymavy15]

Is this confirmed from a reliable source? She is actually using last year's free music for a new short? Very strange. That's a new one.

As for the long....I love that piece. Always have. It is so sad...so beautiful. I can't wait to see the program.

Found an update on the Passion Patinage forums, based on an article I didn't actually read:

Kevin van der Perren
SP - tango
LP - Quasimodo is the theme, music not announced.
Choreo - Joseph Arena

Assuming this is accurate, I'm not sure how to react to that. If there was one skater (other than Brian) whom I did not expect to succumb to tango fever, it would have been Kevin. I'm tired of tango programs. I think anyone skating one should receive a music deduction.

ETA - Just saw this at Skate Today - it's not a new article so maybe this was posted already? Anyway:

Nicole Della Monica/Yannick Kocon
SP - 300 soundtrack
LP - The Mission soundtrack (2008-9 LP)

I hope she or her choreographer have checked out or will check out Michal Brezina's Sing Sing Sing. IMO, the best Sing, Sing, Sing I've seen.

From info at Flatt's rink, it is the orchestration from Fosse/Dancin. Sassy and full of fun! Not your traditional big band.

Found the music on YouTube

Thanks Nigel for the info!

Great choice Rachael! I'm sure you'll pull it off!
A breath of joy and fun!

I hope Zhang, Wagner and Nagasu can make some good choices too, to differentiate them from the Asian skaters.

I find that music very mournful. This will be a challenging and risky selection for Mao to win over skaters whose music selections are upbeat. Good luck to her anyway, she is a top skater and should be able to show variety.

I remember seeing Michelle use it not too long ago, and it was kind of an upbeat version of the Prelude.

 

[Mathman]

^ Michelle had planned o use it for her 2006 LP. I don't think anyone ever saw it performed, or heard her cut of the music.

 

[Joesitz (RIP)]

^^
She did it at a fund raiser, I believe. She didn't do anything extraordinary. Surely someone else has seen it. I noted that the version of the music was not what Rach composed. If I find the time I will check the music out.

Michelle did perform her intended Olympic short program (Totentanz by Liszt) at the Marshall's event in December, 2005. I think that was her only appearance in the 2005-06 season.

She also did her intended Olympic exhibition, A Song for You, at the last Marshall's event, in April, 2006, befotre going on her final COI tour.

Yes, I remember. It was Maksim Mrvica version of Totentanz with a dance beat. The same piece Irina used the very same season for her SP. I think they made it on purpose (if you remember we've already discussed this in a topic about MK and Ira choosing the same music).

I really don't know if MK showed her planned LP that season. I'm certain I didn't see it.

Mirai Nagasu:
SP Music: Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack
FS Music: Carmen

So Carmen's been snapped up! Never expected Mirai to be the one to do it though. I hope it's Sarasate's Carmen Fantasy... much more exciting!
