Kiira Korpi will have new programs made by Shae-Lynn Bourne and David Wilson. I don't know about music but I hope new choreographies will give her some kick to her career! David Wilson has done some real masterpieces, I hope this time too.
Korppi is so pretty!
I know that was a typo but you made me really laugh: "Korppi" is a raven in Finnish "Korpi" means kind of wilderness, some silent thick forest without people.
Berrycute, I also think Wilson would have some classical slow music. But I don't think Sibelius's Finlandia is a piece you could skate. It's also very well-known, almost too-much-played-and-heard in Finland so I think it wouldn't fit to figure skating. I haven't seen it either in dancing, maybe it's too "sacred" for Finnish people. I like Finlandia, I have played it several times but I can't imagine it as a figure skating music. Otherwise Sibelius made lots of good music which could be suitable for dancing or figure skating.
Jill Watson & Peter Oppegard used Finlandia in their 1988 FS (first and last sections, Madame Butterfly was the slow part)....But I don't think Sibelius's Finlandia is a piece you could skate.

Misspelling Korpi creates a new Finnish word! Interesting.
like Valse Triste, which is my dream music for Yu-Na.
Did you seen Drobiazko and Varnagas performing to Valse Triste? I guess 1999. It was so beautiful and touching.
Ladies and Gentelmen, these are Ashley Wagner's choices, and let me add...this girl is special.
SP: Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir" performed by the London Philharmonic
FS: "Malaguena" by Ernesto Lecuona
uh-uh. now tell me, how cool is this Led Zeppelin's song for skating??? and for sure, the only girl who can do it justice is Ashley!!
Haha Kashmir should be great! I'm excited. I wonder about Malaguena because it's usually used as a firey short program. It'll be interesting to see if she'll have to up that spirit throughout or if it can be brought down a notch for the middle sections..
