While I've complied video clips of past Olympic performance, I was fascinated by the musics. While the musics are beautiful, the skaters to music didn't get much attention because of their mistakes here and there. So I thought Patrick known for performing great to classical music, especially piano music pieces, could utilize the music very well. But that can be just me.
i would take it over crossover pieces anytime... here's something by prokofiev i played this piece a very long time ago... cannot tell you how long... it makes me very old but there is a beautiful melody here Haha, it is okay to dislike my suggestion because the music can be very reminiscent of Rachmaninoff's works. Therefore such musics sound very familiar to many people's ear, but also can give an impression like not authentic or not original. We had a disagreement on Prokofiev's Piano Concertos previously, so I understand your purist stance.
prokofiev is real classical but i find him shallow
to show i am agreeable...

it's very fun and well as i said shallow
PS
since you like more "romantic" Prokofiev sonata number 1 might please you
The world of classical music is so wide and deep, so there are many music that I have never heard before.
The concerto i cannot stand in #3 and unfortunately that's the one everyone plays. Thanks for the suggestion. Yep, I like the "romantic piece by Prokofiev. The music is like water flowing away. As for your assessment on Prokofiev's music being shallow, I don't know how to describe his music because I don't have profound knowledge of music. However, what I like about Prokofiev's Piano concertos is when I listen to the works, it is like I'm washing my teeth or my face with very clean and cold water in the morning. I know that is a weird comparison, but the musics give me like cleansing my brain, so when I sometimes really need to focus on my work or have to come up with some idea, I listen to his music.
shallow classical music... like prokofiev... for me... (and some colleagues) is when a composer uses "cheap" flashy tricks.... over and over... prokofiev does that in his concertos and sonatas, everywhere. However, he is also capable of writing beautiful melodies. For instance, his 2nd piano concerto, the opening is AMAZING... but in general he favours virtuosity and showmanship over depth. After such a beautiful opening, it just goes downhill into how can one makes this piece as virtuoso as possible
the middle section of his first concerto is nice too.... Here Martha Argerich plays... she is special and whenever she comes to town, whatever she is playing, I will go
I think if we were going with a romantic piano concerto for Patrick... i'd suggest Rachmaninoff but not the common #2 or #3 or Paganini variations. he could do well with #1
It was fun and informative, so thanks, 4everchan. Anyway, whatever music Patrick would choose for his programs, I'm sure he would not make his fans regretful.
This conversation has made me look back on my past when I used to lurk in classical music forums.
we will see... I trust David Wilson... i am not sure I trust Pasquale.... but, it will be a short program anyways
like Jeff for instance for Elegy... or Wilson for the Chopin...
nice photo love the site!!!
maybe you should check with me so we can reduce the list for my suggestions ... i gave him music for the next 5 olympics.... hahahaha
hahahahahaLol, post your list of what you think is relevant for the next two years, then.
