Rachmaninov- Piano Concerto No.2 really is such an overused piece in skating, but it's sooo beautiful, I really don't mind - when it's done well anyway (see Lu Chen 1996 Worlds). A part of me wishes Mao would use it one day.
This piece just reminded me of the soundtrack from Romeo and Juliet, which is another one we hear in skating all the time. However, I do remember Akiko skating with so much heart to a version of it with a lot of cuts that aren't usually used by other skaters (so I didn't even recognize them) and then ending the program with the well known "A Time For Us" tune. The performance I saw was during a 4CC in 2002. It's not on YT anymore due to copyright claim and I don't know the names of the particular cuts from the soundtrack, so I can't link to them or anything. I hope someone here knows what I'm talking about and can link to the music or something lol.
EDIT: Btw, thanks for posting the link to that Liebestraum vid,
iceskating fan. I remember seeing it once and not being able to find it again.
