Malaaaaaaaade and Cathedraaaaaaaale must go!

What's your very favorite warhorse?

I'll go first: Mine is Samson & Delilah. That and East of Eden, but I'm not sure that's a WH

 

[iluvtodd]

Not familiar with "Cathedrale." I guess I'll have to listen to it.

Samson & Delilah (especially Meryl & Charlie's free dance to it) and East of Eden (Michelle Kwan & Sean Rabbitt's performances of it)!

I NEVER get tired of "Carmina Burana" (not sure it that counts as a warhorse). I do enjoy hearing other parts of CB, in addition to "O, Fortuna."

Michelle Kwan also skated to Bolero

 

[Seven Sisters]

Though I would find it utterly sacrilegious for any other ice dance team to skate to Bolero, I don’t mind it when pairs or singles do.

(That does not excuse the program Kamila Valieva does to it, which IMHO, is just dreadful.)

@iluvtodd , my favorite "Samson & Delilah" is Meryl & Charlie's too.

another favorite "warhorse." Specifically the bits from Moulin Rouge that Shae-Lynne put together for Ashley Wagner. Brilliant choice, brilliant choreography, and perfect for Ashley's talents. I especially like the Nicole Kidman parts and "One Day I'll Fly Away." Chills when AW does her gorgeous triple loop to that phrase.

Shen & Zhao also skated to "One Day I'll Fly Away" (in SOI)!

 

[Minz]

Daria Uscheva skated to One Day I’ll Fly Away this season

 

[Seven Sisters]

Also this season: the standard bearers of Sambo 70 and Angels of Plushenko skating to the exact same cuts of Romeo & Juliet

(I found it amusing—all that dramatic music about the feuding houses)

The way you put it makes the whole thing seem completely ridiculous
