Why is Plushenko's LP entitled "Tribute to Vaclav Nizhinski"? When I first heard that this was the title of his programme, my mind automatically flashed to images of some costume out of Le Spectre de la Rose or L'après-midi d'un faun or inspirations on that choreography. But, the more I watch his programme, the more I'm confused, because except for a few arm movements from those ballets mentioned above and music that Nizhinski enjoyed, nothing about the programme has to do with Nizhinski. I realise this isn't "skating for the deaf" and I agree that the programme is effective, but IMHO if you're going to go through the trouble of giving your programme a special, thematic title such as "Tribute to Vaclav Nizhinski", there needs to be some visible connection to that theme.
Am I just blowing hot air, or do you guys have any comments?
PS: What is the music that Plushenko skates to? I ask because I've heard it under three different titles Viktoria Pavuk skates to it and it's called "Miss You", Totmianina & Marinin skate to it and it's "Art on Ice", and Plushenko skates to it and it's "Tribute to Vaclav Nizhinski". It sounds to me like the exact same piece of music for all three.
