Tatiana Volosozhar & Maxim Trankov

I've just read something about Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela and I found out that it is the hindi version of Romeo and Juliet. What makes their program even mre interesting :clap:
 
I just hope there won't be any cultural appropriation (like when Meryl Davis wore a bindi for their Bollywood original dance), but other than that I'm really excited to see what their costumes and choreography will look like!!

I think Birlajs raises a good point here. I hope they don't do a few typical hand gestures or some such to "represent" their awareness of Indian culture.

As for the vampire LP music: I listened to cuts from the Williams and Kilar’s Dracula scores (Kilar’s was superb; Williams was Williams). I don’t think V&T’s music is any of these composers (and it’s certain not Phillip Glass). The music was a grand, powerful symphonic piece for full orchestra. The guy cueing the music in NJ, always seem to have to start the music in a particular spot in a much larger composition. Anyway, I guess we’ll know what the music is after Skate America!
 
Nina Moser says, V/T are not going to take part in any competitions till October, they are going to miss control skates for national team, as Maxim still has got a problem with shoulder and he cannot do one of the elements, I think, it probably twist. They are going to Italy next week, after that Maxim is going to have some treatment. V/T are going to take it slowly, they don't want to rush into going back to competitions. Also Nina sys, Maxim has choreographed two programs for Tarasova/Morozov from Nina's group http://rsport.ru/figure_skating/20140731/761656025.html

Then it is definietly not Williams, I love this music but I suppose you would recognize it. It still may be Kilar (I know, dreaming), his music is fabulous, gorgeous and very varied, so you just could listen another fragment and I think it suits Silvestri's music. But if not, maybe this music:

James Bernard from the movie with Christopher Lee

I believe it's Trveor Morris' music played by Lindsey Stirling

Marco Beltrami from Dracula 2000

While talking about Dracula it's difficult to say which version is not "grand, powerful symphonic piece for full orchestra". Most of theum suits the desciption. And are you sure that you didn't hear the pieces from Silvestri's Van Helsing?

Oh, my goodness. What genius!! I think it’s from Van Helsing, “Reunited.” (track twelve) on the You Tube selection. I’m not absolutely sure but almost positive. As soon as I heard it the melody sounded so familiar. I had tried to hum the tune when I left the rink so I’d remember it, but you can’t keep humming for 1 ½ hrs…

When we finally see (and hear) the program, forgive me if I’ve got it wrong. The music is just beautiful. Oh, boy, I hope I’m right. Thanks!!!!

this is it. nessie
 
OMG Nessie I actually know this melody!!
it's very beautiful, heartbreaking and romantic yet so powerful. Just love it.
I may have a thing for their LP this year. Not going to lie, but for now it's mainly due to the fact that I'm not really a fan of the indian music choice for the SP and the LP looks pretty promising (though it's very early and anything can change...).

I literally can't wait till October. ;)

This explains then why Maxim was working so closely with Tarasova/Morosov in West Orange, NJ. It wasn’t just generosity, but business and Max was explaining his own choreography, not offering a few tips! Tarasova is a sweetie; she’s really tiny! Morosov is tall and seemed quite shy, hardly smiles at all. I don’t know if they are a couple; it didn’t seem so but I don’t think that would be obvious when one is trying to get some work done.
 
So glad I was able to catch the stream for Artistry on Ice. Tatiana and Maxim were stunning on both programs. Gave me goosebumps. :love: If anyone can pull off an ubiquitous song like "I Will Always Love You," it's them. The subtlety, the build... Unfortunately, it was so awesome it seemed to break the stream, since from then on my stream had to constantly reload. :laugh:
 
Somebody to die for from Artistry on Ice (Shanghai).

This is lovely -- Tania has a new costume I think -- similar to her other one but different in the back, with more sequins. I’m sorry she sort of stumbled on the throw but I agree with Little Lotte 29 in her post on July 30 that throws are more dangerous in gala performances. The program is executed in half-darkness and the rinks are so much smaller that regulation rinks that the usual choreography has to be adjusted accordingly.

Oh, by the way in the music for V&T’s vampire piece, the program starts I think with a tolling bell at around :51 -- so the entire 4:24 of music isn’t used. But the ending is not changed. The music ends abruptly.

I wouldn't be worried about her throws, either. Tania seems to be in a great form and her mistakes in throws on galas are rather often. I mean nothing wrong :P Darkness, rink's size, maybe bad moment. I think that's all :D

Tania, Maxim and Li Zijun (you know, the Chinese skater who did such a gorgoeus free skating at the world championship in London.

I have found another V/T montage http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoE8sI8jV4I
LittleLotte29, it's not Maxim and Stephane instagram, it's a fan page.
I'm not worried about Tanya's throws either, the rink is really small. I missed the first part of today's show, but performance if Somebody to day for was good, everything was nice, I like Maxim patting Tanya's knee twice after performance!
 
I'm not sure if these are the commentators you wanted to hear, but this is the official video that was finally put up on YouTube and it's not Johnny weir.

Meeuhh, You were kind enough to post this YouTube link to V and T's long program at Sochi. Do you perhaps have the link to Masquerade Waltz, their short program at Sochi? I can't find one with these commentators, who I like. Thanks!

I have a2 links for their SP performance with these commentators, from the team event and the individual competition.
Sadly, it's in my old computer which I broke last week so it's being fixed these days. Once i get it back (in a few days I assume) I promise I'll post link here and even send you a private message. Just remind me, ok? ;)

You're kind to do this. There are many versions posted of Masquerade Waltz, but I hope to see the one at Sochi -- the real thing, not Budapest or Skate America, etc. Thanks!
