change of edge biellman? I preferred the spiral sequence last season, but it is really unfair to say without seeing it in context.

Who is the artist of the song?

The composer is Alain Lefevre, but I don't know who the piano player and string quartet are that perform the version that I have. And again, I don't know if there is more than on version, so it is possible that Kimmie is not using the same one that I have, though I hope she is.

Daisuke Takahashi anounced about his new Free program at his HP.
→http://www.kansai-u.ac.jp/sports/message/takahashi/2008/08/post_10.html.

His new LP is “Ocean Wave” by　George Winston
(Choreographed by Pasquale Camerlengo)

He has another LP that he is also preparing,so it's not clear which one he will ultimately use.

I've just heard the 'Ocean Wave' and I can't imagine him skating to it. I think orchestral music works the best for Takahashi, especially Tchaikovsky's, but it's nice to see him trying out different types of music. Did he mention the other LP which he is preparing?

jeff goldblum posted in the other thread that Curran Oi's LP is to Leonard Bernstein's soundtrack for On The Waterfront.

Between West Side Story and On The Waterfront, which Paul Wyle skated to, Bernstein is often heard on ice!

Stefan Lindemann
SP : Musique au piano
FP : Beetlejuice

Most interesting here is: Will Lindemann really be back?

Wiiiiiee!!!!!! *jump for joy* I've been longing to see him again!! He's my first skating love (really Yagudin is, but I began to watch fs at his last season, during the OG) and I've been so sad while he has been gone. I cried for days when he couldn't make it to WC in Gothenburg. He's 30 in less than 2 month so I think it's very strong of him to return after the surgery. Yay, I'm so happy!! I hope everything will work for him and that he make a wonderful season!

Eliot Halverson
SP: The Chairmans Waltz by John Williams (Memoirs of a Geisha soundtrack)
LP: Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor by Sergei Rachmaninov

as new as The Memoirs of a geisha soundtrack is, after this season it will definitely be on most people's lists of music they are thoroughly tired of hearing on the ice. It probably is on that list for some.

Both are beautiful pieces, I am a huge fan of both selections of music, but originality could not hurt.

 

[Binthere]

Curran Oi - on the Waterfront. Yes Paul Wylie skated to this, but I think a wonderful version was done by Curran's coach, Mark Mitchell (1991?).

Delobel & Schoenfelder:
FD: "The great gig in the sky" by Pink Floyd

They have chosen this year a very personnal theme on purpose. "For once there is no story or characters. It's more personnal. It symbolise us, our journey, our wish to stop our career then to then to extent it." says Olivier. "This song takes us and transports us" added Isabelle.

Carron & Jost
FD: Muse

Carron & Jost have a much more modern and rock'n'roll FD than last year, performing to muse and including with five athletic and visual lifts.
"We hope to show that we have evolved with this change of style" explains the tandem.

 

[dorispulaski]

I saw that over at FSU--the poster also said Carron and Jost were skating their FD to Muse (same piece that the Kerrs are using, I believe ) from this article

http://www.leprogres.fr/sports/omnisports/1038765.html

 

[rosee]

the poster also said Carron and Jost were skating their FD to Muse (same piece that the Kerrs are using, I believe )

They did not said which piece but It would surprise me if it was the same as the kerrs. It may be a medley too.

 

[dorispulaski]

At the very least, it will not be the same cuts. I'm looking forward to both programs.

Yikes!!! Carron/Jost using the same music at the Kerrs? Mon dieu.

I hope they are completely different cuts of Muse so as not to be comparable soley on PCS scores.

The Kerrs are a well established Dance Team, and imo, undercored often whereas Carron/Jost are basically new to Top Ten teams. Maybe they will have a break through.

 

[dorispulaski]

In fact, Carron & Jost were 9th at Europeans, behind the Zaretskis and Capellini & Lanotte & the Kerrs & Pechalat & Bourzat. They did not go to Worlds, where they would have likely been behind Virtue and Moir, Belbin and Agosto, and Davis and White, all of whom were ahead of the Kerrs. So at this point, they should be considered perhaps top 12 rather than top 10 in the World.

But they are certainly an interesting, rising team. The third place team in a country has a hard row to hoe. I don't expect to see them in the top 10 without first passing Pechalat & Bourzat or having Delobel and Schoenfelder retire.

However, France has qualified 3 teams for Worlds, due to the efforts of Delobel & Schoenfelder and Pechalat & Bourzat! We will definitely be seeing C&J at Worlds in 2009, I think!
