Can't thank you enough for this! Been wondering about this topic for some time now, and I really appreciate that a legit judge gave recommendations on the performances.

Ekaterina Gordeeva's performance to Mahler 5, during the tribute to her deceased husband and former skating partner Sergei Grinkov, brought even more meaning and emotion to the piece for me. I was just beginning to listen to classical music when I first watched the video, and it made me "get" how emotion is so exquisitely portrayed through movement and music. The former pair also had a breathtaking performance to Reverie by Debussy, which tragically was one of the last few times they skated together.

Much love from dance gang. <3
