Parts of warhorses that should be used more

Really? Well, you should post it in the skater dreams thread in Le Cafe!

Cannuscio/Lorello used On My Own in a Les Mis medley for their 2011-12 FD:

I had no clue that they used it. Beautiful FD, loved where they placed their step sequences!

Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 is becoming one, but it's mostly the first movement that's used. Examples include Midori Ito, Mishkutenok / Dmitriev, Mao Asada, Daisuke Murakami, Doug Razzano among others. What they can do is use the quiet middle second movement, but I don't think anyone is going to match Lu Chen's glorious interpretation in 1995/96: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y12W0J13oSc

Would love to see people use Bluebird variations from Sleeping Beauty...

From Phantom of the Opera - I'd love to see more people use All I Ask Of You! Such a beautiful piece of music. And I'd also like to see more of the 2013 Romeo and Juliet OST. Such beautiful music and H/B's FD to it ended up being one of my favorites last season!

Yes! Yes! All I Ask of You is my favorite piece from POTO.

Many major warhorses are either an opera (Carmen, Scheherazade), musical (POTO), or ballet (Swan Lake, R&J), meaning they are large works and thus include a large selection of different pieces. Sadly, most also have three or four sections/movements/songs that are waaaaay overused (leading them to become warhorses). This means that a lot of really great parts of the work in question get overlooked. Do you know of any pieces like this? And are there any programs that used them?

Sheherazade is a symphonic poem... not an opera...

Mao Asada, Anna Pogo, Anni Javrvenpaa, Ashley Wagner and Maria Artemeva , should consider give Valse Triste by Sibelius a go. They can bring the maturity, majestic and regalness the program requires and it can be a beautiful program.

I'd love to see a team dance to Prima Dona from POTO. I think it would make for a wonderful waltz. I love all of the dramatic voices as they converge together. Also, Master of the HOuse from Les Mis. Could be a great exhibition number -- lots of character in that piece of music.

I've always thought someone should skate to this from Last Temptation, "It is Accomplished," or at least the last part of it ...

I'd like to see someone use Tybalt's death scene

Peter Gabriel also wrote a lot of other cool tracks for The Last Temptation of Christ, not just The Feeling Begins

i love R/K free dance on this… I think it's better suited for ladies and you have given some great ideas about who could do it well.. if we were to go for a male skater on this, I'd love to see my man (Patrick) do it…
