2013-2014 Programs by Discipline

[dorispulaski]

I think so. She said later in the interview, the music evokes the feeling that everybody died.

 

[Olympia]

Kavaguti & Smirnov's programs, from TahBka's translation of an interview with Moskvina on FSU:

Thanks for the quote, Doris! That new program music, for the SP, sounds like an amazing effort. I'm really looking forward to seeing it. How wonderful when skaters can actually commission a piece of music.

As for the Tchaikovsky Manfred, I have some acquaintance with it (the better-known work using Byron's Manfred is Robert Schumann's Manfred Overture), but I'm pleased to see Moskvina branching out and using pieces beyond the tried and true by any particular composer (Swan Lake, in Tchaikovsky's case).

Here it is:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPSjsCTWzf0

Two interesting points in the commentary below the video:
1. One poster says that this symphony and Tchaikovsky's "Pathetique" (his sixth symphony) are the two most emotionally exhausting Tchaikovsky pieces, which echoes what Moskvina hints at when she says "You won't like it much."
2. It's apparently associated with some anime production or other. An interesting link, considering that Kavaguti is from Japan.

Just for comparison's sake, here's Schumann's Manfred Overture. Wouldn't you love to see a skating program created out of this? Such momentum in the way the music rushes forward, and a lovely melodic richness.

Thank you, she really looks good. And this video which doesn't have any commentary, only the sound of her edge work is good.
Looking forward to the next one. (This is one of the series of cheering up Mao project.)

Following up on deedee's post in the Miki Ando thread:

It's just a rumor so that I don't want to drop it in The Program thread just yet, but Miki's new SP is Andre Rieu's "My Way" they say. Can anyone, who's been to Prince Ice Worlds shows in Ibaragi this weekend, confirm this rumor, please? She popped a Lutz, but landed 3S and 2A there.

[deedee1]

Thank you so much for your follow-up on Miki's programs, golden! , as well as all your updates. And yes to Miki's Free; there was a rumor too here that it is going to be 'Firebird'.

OT but all of your updates on skaters are just amaging, golden! You should open up something like 'golden 411's Wikipedia on Figure skating World' on the web and charge people! then you will be a millionaire soon!
