Gabriel's Oboe!!! 
Here is a few seconds of it (from The Mission soundtrack -- click on #3).
The most important instrument in the orchestra! He makes it sound like a Baroque trumpet in it's sweetest range!
Now if Michelle would just skate to the Mozart Oboe Concerto in C, I could die happy. (I sent it in to Lori Nichol once, but she went with the Song of the Black Swan instead, LOL.)

Is that why Michelle left Lori?

I love that entire soundtrack....but this in particular is just lovely.

That's great news -- he did a wonderful job for her with last year's Prokofiev LP.orchid said:

I hope she has gotten a bit of lyricism to her skating. I see her as bouncing around doing tricks, but she's had some time to develop a style and get out of that teenybopper look.

I really liked last year's LP choreography by Kurt Browning, even though Carolina doesn't really get into the music. She's not-IMO- what you call naturally graceful. And skaters like her are not easily appreciated. Irina is not naturally graceful, Sasha and Michelle are. But I have learned to accept Irina as she is, and I like her programs now. Carolina needs to let go a bit more and she'll be fine. She's a great skater, just not my style *yet*.
I too am happy at the news that Kurt is doing her LP again. I loved her LP last year - I thought it was one of the most original and interesting programmes in the competition, and probably had the most choreographic content of all the LPs in the top flight. She also always has very nice, lyrical SPs - I don't understand some of the criticisms levelled at her. I think she has quite a nice style, quite different. I'd like to think she could challenge for a medal next year in Torino, but at the same time, skating at home has a history of working against her. I'm interested to see what she does, anyway.

Excellent! I'm sure Carolina will have wonderful programs, since she's working with Kurt Browning and Lori Nichol. Vivaldi's "Winter" is a wonderful piece, full of variety of emotions, moods, speed, etc. And Carolina will have the home ice advantage. She may well win an Olympic medal.
Carolina will be appearing in Kurt Browning's "Gotta Skate" special this fall. The show is being held on October 18 in Toronto, and will air on Dec 18 on NBC.

Yes. She's not listed as participant but she told me she will be there.
I'm biased so I won't reply some comments of this thread. Anyway this yr programs have nth of the teenybooper look (I suppose this is mostly because of last yr lp??? imo that was lovely and fit her the best... again I-M-O), not from what I've seen at least. She's always been elegant and graceful to me but she's improving more and more.
