Yuna Kim

Today I was listening to the radio and this piece came up, and I was like huh, weird...so familiar, and then I realized it was Yuna’s FS from Vancouver (yeah I listen to classical music on the radio)...Concerto in F. They said the name at the end. Hearing it in its original form, I’m actually impressed how they (whoever did her programs) were able to edit this complex and somewhat chaotic piece into such a cohesive and beautiful program. I don’t know why, but I feel like that program is a bit underrated, even though she won the Olympics with it. Seems like people are drawn to her more “iconic” programs like Bond, and Les Miserables, but I actually find this program to be one of my favorites, behind only Danse Macabre.

Seeing V/M and Yuna together once again makes me so happy :luv17:. Yuna and Tessa are my eternal queens

I logged in just so I could give this comment a thumbs up. THE two GORGEOUS Ice Queens of the modern era. Any poll about the most sexiest, beautiful, etc, female figure skaters should always begin with these two. Nothing is more appealing to me then a beautiful woman dancing or skating beautifully and needless to say, Tessa and Yuna are my most favourite skaters.

music edited by Master David Wilson and his music editing team!!!!!:biggrin:
Not just Gershwin, if you have listened to her other programs, like Adios Nonino's original tracks, Giselle, KoV etc, you will marvel again at what a genius David Wilson and his music editing team is. Absolutely the best in figure skating program music editing.
all of Yuna's programs are music editing master pieces.

Will definitely check out those songs too...but yeah I agree, Yuna’s music was always very well done. As someone who likes to make fan edited skating videos, I just really appreciate how crazy hard it is to make something flow together so well. Even though it’s not the original form, I feel like the editing itself tells a story. And wow, I never knew she had a music editing specialist working with her too. I’ve always just assumed it was the coaches or choreographer who does all that stuff. Cool. Guess she knows good people (which is why I am happy that Evgenia is moving to Yuna’s old coach). My favorite example of music editing in figure skating is still Sasha Cohen’s Romeo and Juliet from the Olympics though (hehe, biased), but this Concerto in F is on the same level for me.

there is a lot to Learn in terms of Yuna's programs music editing. ENJOY.:love:

Yuna is my all time favorite figure skater, it is not just her, it is what figure skating is represented though Yuna.

Exactly my thoughts about most of the music cuts of Yuna's programs. :yes: I might be wrong on this one (blame my hearing ability) but her music cuts for her Concerto in F even seems to come from the two movements of the piece: from the allegro and the allegro agitato, yet it feels like it's just one music specifically arranged and performed to be used for her program. Will also go ahead here and say this is what I feel when people don't appreciate Yuna's Adios Nonino. Her music doesn't sound like the original and may have caught everyone off guard. But it provides a refreshing feel to the music. They also decided to use the superior version of Send in the Clowns cover with the cello.

I thought you'll gonna wait until next week before you criticize? :laugh:
 
@Izabela

you should listen to the original version of Adios Nonino, you will understand how genius David Wilson and Music editing team is.

their music edting project for figure skating programs are not just cut and splice together, they have added tracks, special sound effect, volume fine tuning etc. even wrote new melody etc. if needed.

my most respected music editing team in figure skating community and IMHO their effort and the art in their work is vastly under appreciated in current figure skating artistic scores.

I'm a fan of Piazolla's Adios Nonino so when her team decided that she would skate to it, I was looking forward to how they will interpret the piece. I was honestly surprised with how different her version was compared to how skaters usually take this music (this was before knowing that they wanted to capture the elegiac part of the music more), but if people care to listen to Piazolla's Adios past the 1 minute mark, you will definitely know where Yuna was getting her inspiration from.

Well, technically it is the next week :P But I won't be critiquing it anymore haha She can do so much more than this, though.

But that's the whole beauty of this program though; its entire simplicity. It wasn't meant to be groundbreaking, nor meant to be masterful or choreographically original. It's a very nostalgic program that seems to hearken back to her earlier days when what dominates her exhibition programs is simply the way she is moved by music. :)

It's not about simplicity. I love simple programs. It's about the way the connection between the music and her was lacking -- not because she didn't possess musicality, but because of certain choreographic nuances.
