Hello! Suggest music you'd love to see used by skaters :)

I'll start...

This would make a great men's SP.

 
Eduard Grieg Piano Concerto A minor for Minerva Fabienne Hase and Nikita Volodin.

This music would have fit them like a glove!- powerful, expressive, compelling and, in my recollection, Grieg's Piano Concerto A minor has not yet been skated in figure skating. With this music (and fitting choreography) MiNiki would have take the audience like a storm!😲 Even with an average choreography they would be able to make it to look not only great but more than great; that piece of Grieg is excellent for them.
 
I wish Loena Hendrickh to surprise everyone with her music choice and choreography and to come like an unexpected, refreshing storm... maybe she could be able to skate the same Grieg:unsure:...but it never ever will happen. She has not courage to leave Adam Solya choreography. I wish her so much the next season not to be disappointing but rewarding; to fulfill her hidden potential. Music and choreography exactly are the tools for her to achieve this.
 
I’m dying to hear the Manfred Symphony’s again after Yuka and Alexander skated to it.

I also would not mind someone doing a really passionate intense version of Totentanz, and get a load of this….. I want them / him / her to go in full zombie face, #WhatCanISay?

For short programs I still like upbeat numbers, I would not mind Selena Gomez’s Love you like a love song, and Feist’s song 1,2,3,4

Bottom line I don’t want your recycled west side story, or Exogenesis, give me something no one else has done.

🏅😘

Do you mean Totentanz by Franz Liszt?? IF so, then, imho, it would be fitting for Lukas Britschgi so skate Liszt Totentanz ( for piano and orchestra). He would be great!

I do not mind to hear Exogenesis again and again 😛 and one more ( if good skated and with an excellent choreography) west side story is ok for me:saint:

Yes, or by Maksim!!! That version is great.

And actually, yes, Lukas would be a great choice.
 
I know what song I would definitely skate to… could you guys all see me skating to Eartha Kitt, “where is my Man?” Now who should choreograph?

For that song, for that voice there is no need even for a choreographer!!that song, that voice and song guides/choreographs itself! you have to take wings of freedom and fly in that music :-)

You’re so right, absolutely right. When I went to my first drag show in Chicago as a whippersnapper, this is what the artist performed to.
 
I'd like to see a program, either short of long, on any piece of music from The Doors Concerto by Nigel Kennedy. This is one of my all time favourites:

The Doors Concerto: Light my Fire

After 2 decades of regular listening, it's still in my phone.
 
Short programs, I am a short program type of guy


MiniNiki …. Starboy by The Weeknd




Amber .. I think stay with pop divas. Burning up by Madonna.




Frangi .. Bailamos by Enrique Iglesias




Also, I would probably choose remixes of the radio edits, definitely not covers I am no fan of covers of anything.
 
Now that there’s been the first mention of a Poto, oh dear how’ma gonna get through it and I wish someone would use an unheard of or unique or overlooked Italian classical piece of music or composer.

I googled that and I’m listening to pieces of music by Ferruccio Busoni, Luigi Tedeschi, Pietro Locatelli, Giovani Sgambati and Francesca Caccini. Some really cool pieces could do for a free skate. I love it when Kavaguti and Smirnov did the Manfred Symphony’s, but even though that was by Tchaikovsky, was something I never had heard of it was beautiful.

And then I think for my short program at the Milan Olympics, I definitely would need to bust out Rabiosa with Shakira and Pitbull. I definitely would take a version from SoundCloud that is a DJ rendition. So cool and fun with nuances in that music.

And there you go, showing off versatility… Latin, upbeat, dance music for the short and classical Italian for the free.

Where’ma 🥇 at?

There must be some overlooked ballet music from an Italian ballet or a ballet set in Italy. I do hope, though, that we don't see people choosing Italian music just because it is Italian and the Olympics are in Italy.

Tons ….. been researching, there’s so much out there. So much stuff to be introduced, I don’t understand why warhorses are necessary lol I don’t think I’m ever gonna stop complaining about it LMAO.

Also, I don’t mind it when it’s done subtly. Remember in the 18 Olympics were Bradie had that short program with the red dress …. the composer was Korean. That was my favorite short program she’s ever done. And was not a warhorse and it was very interesting music.

Now, if someone is doing mambo Italiano that becomes gimmicky and is not subtle.
