Just for fun! What is your favorite program skated to warhorse music?

[dorispulaski]

My favorite Swan Lake was Rudy Galindo' s in 1996
I liked Samantha Cesario' s Carmen this year. V&M' s was good too, but Sam was really fierce!
Midori Ito' s Scheherazade, and D&W' s.

 

[evangeline]

Blumberg/Seibert's Scheherazade
Virtue/Moir's and Samantha Cesario's Carmen
Yu-Na Kim's EL Tango de Roxanne (maybe not a warhorse, but it is definitely a warpony)
Jason Brown's Turandot
Sasha Cohen's Malaguena
Lu Chen's Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2

Hi, I am the one who started this thread.
Thank you very much for posting your favorites, and reminding me those great programs!
I am making list of them, hoping to post it with links.

Anyway, isn't 007 warhorse? Not to mention Yuna, there are lots of good and so-so progmrams skated to it.

 

[Rachmaninoff]

I really don't mind warhorse music reusing as long as the music is cut well, and the program is solid. (aka not Godfather spliced with techno rumble)

Yeah, same here. I don't really get all the complaining about it. A good program is a good program as far as I'm concerned.

Sasha's Swan Lake. The unique music cuts and TAT's choreo made it really special. Her 2003 Campbell's performance of this program was one of her best ever! http://youtu.be/7oUIDWF1zRw

Shizuka's 2004 Worlds Turandot was amazing too. When she did her signature Ina Bauer at the height of the melody, it was so powerful.

Oksana Baiul's Olympic SP to the Black Swan pas de deux music from Swan Lake and her Lillehammer exhibition performance of the Dying Swan by Saint-Saens.

Michelle Kwan's 2004 U.S. Nationals performance of Tosca.

Shen and Zhao's 2003 Worlds performance of Turandot.

John Curry's 1976 Olympics performance of Don Quixote.

Lu Chen's Rach 2

Ditto. Sasha's R&J program. Also Hanyu's first version of R&J. I like the modern take on it; it suited his style of skating more.
