Yulia Lipnitskaya

So, I managed to do this crappy mix of two Game of Thrones songs of house Stark: Crappy Mix Hopefully someone can improve it, if interested.

What is there to improve? crappy, indeed.

Your musical combination strikes me as perfect for her. In the beginning we hear darkness, stillness, everything is suspended, then a few echoing fragments are heard. It is sad, tender and numb. It is the sound of a broken heart. Then we hear energy beneath this suspension, and a chorus of female voices (perhaps children's voices?) begins to shape notes into a coherent melody. This builds with determination, propels forward, then those odd little scales, then it resumes with strength, optimism and triumph. It ends on octaves, which are like a blank page (the future can go anywhere). This music is Yulia's story beginning with the confusion of the CofC debacle, till now. Even the female voices are an image of her experience. Performances are always enhanced when they are autobiographical. I hope her choice is this personal.

Your combination opens much like this piece https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsK5XRkKaBA It's even in the same key. Coincidence? Stravinsky said that mediocre composers only imitate, but great composers steal.

Wow! These are great! I haven't seen them before, and as a Yulia fan and a cat fan, I love them. Thank you so much for posting them!

No 2 in the list, without exams (because she is Olympic Champion).
Anna Pogorilaya too, No 44 in the list.
Future profession - coach.
Wow she is still very young I don't know if one day I will see her as a coach. Maybe I will root for her students as well. Or maybe she will become a spin specialist?
