Lori? Um, I would have liked to see David Wilson better. Interesting choises indeed. Don't know if it will match, but at least no warhorses (S&D was popular a few years back and it's not that overused.)

The LP is quite a warhorse tbh. I like their SP music choice a lot. I think they are aiming to show their SS, performance and flow more than anything with that music.
Who did their short last season, Wilson or Nichol? I loved that one. I like their LP too.

Oh dear!!!! That's not original, they needed something original and different to challenge.
I mean, last season the other top teams skated to Mozart, Vivaldi, Strauss, Danse Macabre... I don't think it means they can't challenge, especially since they have already reached the upper echelon of ice dance.
I also think this music will challenge them personally, since it doesn't strike me as music that plays to their strengths. I think that's a good thing.
And don´t forget the success of I/Z´s Carmen.

I think this is a very good piece for them. Emotionally and personally this plays to their strengths. Both are able to emote their feelings passionately and, consequently, inherently match/respond to the 'passion' of this piece.

David Wilson did both their programs. as well as both programs for Chinese pair Yu/Jin.
As for what they are aiming for in their new programs. I have posted their interview in their fan thread. it is better to know from their own words.

Point taken - but to push the boundaries as World Silver Medalists to challenge Papadakis/Cizeron something more fresh and innovative would be taking a step in a new direction, yes it probably would be a good piece for them - I see Madison as vibrant and energetic with a great smile - something more powerful and playful would be in the right mindset. I am just hoping the Piano Concerto No:2 will work for them - I should not be hasty at this stage - I am sure it will be romantic!!
Rachmaninoff is a very smart choice that fits very well with the current regulations of ice dance : piano and musical punctuation will be highlighted in the step sequences. Nevertheless, there is a clear desire to go to the French P&C type of program and I think it's a disappointment. I would have imagined them better on a similar character dance to their short dance of last season

C/B have choosen a very 'safe' music IMO. I don't see how it can be challenging. I just hope their dance will NOT be boring to tears, and not copycat of P/C FD of last season. They just need a good not overdramatic dance with good choreography. Let's see if they will deliver.

I would not give them the "challenge yourself" award, but I have to say that I'm quite enthusiastic about it! I think they could pull off something really good with it

Have any dancers used this music in the past?
I don't believe that Najarro would consciously copy anyone else's style. The question is - how much of his choreography was changed while putting it onto ice?

The Mozart piece used by P/C and the Rach 2 piano concerto are very different pieces of music. The Mozart piece is soft and dreamy. The Rach 2 is passionate and intense. I certainly would not pick the Rach 2 if I wanted to copy P/C's style. I think Madi and Evan's program will be quite different from P/C's Mozart free dance.
The Rach is a good choice for C/B. It will be a stretch, but not a total departure for them.

Davis&White used it (the romantic part) in their exhibition program in Sochi. However, I don't remember any dancers using in a FD.
As for other non ice-dancer skaters, Midori Ito and Mao Asada (the first part of the Concerto in 2013/2014 season) also skated to this magnificent piece of music.
I wonder which part of the Concerto is C&B's choice: the slow and romantic one or the first part which is more dramatic and where the tension rises from the beginning until the final notes.
