Shizuka Arakawa's new program "Yugao" (from The Tale of Genji)
I apologize if anyone has already posted this link as I've not been following recent discussion very closely. But I just saw this ethereally beautiful program at youtube, and thought I'd like to share
I loved her use of the fan
The music is composed by Ikuko Kawai, a well-established Japanese violinist and composer, and is inspired by the story of the tragical heroine "Yugao" in The Tale of Genji, a Japanese literary classic.
I checked out Ikuko Kawai's website. It seems that this music piece is included in this figure skating music collection album supervised by Arakawa. Not sure if it is one of her old pieces or is specifically composed for Shizuka.
