Красивая песня о любви Дэвида Боуи Wild is the wind

I love it too. Definitely THE BEST cover of this beautiful song. Just brilliant!

Hi again Zhenya!
I have some more suggestions that I forgot to mention in my previous post! I think that this particular idea would be a great one for you.

"The Hunchback of Notre Dame" by Alan Menken (track "Sanctuary")
It's a POWERFUL, INTENSE, DRAMATIC piece of music and I think it suits your style perfectly! It also requires intense footwork and that of course is what you are skilled at artistically. The story is also fitting for you. I think you could identify a lot with the main character. Here is the music:

I also came up with an idea several years ago that you might enjoy.

"Sonata for Flute, Viola, and Harp" by Claude Debussy
I have always been fascinated with astronomy and the cosmos. So I had the concept that you would portray the life of a star: each movement you make would have some meaning for the star. As the star grows more intense, your moves would reflect that. Finally at the end with a vicious spin combination you turn into a "black hole," one of the most powerful forces in the cosmos. I realize the style of music may be unfamiliar and not quite "your style" but branching out into this forum would be challenging and hopefully rewarding for you!

I've often thought of your skating when I listen to various pieces of music. Some of the suggestions above are wonderful too. I originally thought "The Gravel Road" from "The Village" by James Newton Howard would be good for you, but I don't think it fits well with your skating because of your style; it's a slow, lyrical piece, and while you do beautifully with that kind of music, you don't use it often. However I will link to it so you can hear it and decide if you would like to use it.

Hello,

I'm from Macedonia and I would like to propose to you some great songs form the best Macedonian singer, Toshe Proeski (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To%C5%A1e_Proeski) who tragically died when he was only 26. The last two songs are from his English album published about a year after his dead.
I would be glad if you hear this songs. I think you could interpret them in the bast way.

Там на youtube люди оставили интересные предложения для Жени например
------------
alicesqueeks :
Tchaikovsky - Slavonic March (Marche Slav), Serenade for Strings
Mussgorsky - Night on Bald Mountain
anything by Tchaikovsky....pretty please? ;)
-------------------
luliajulia:
Plush you could be more present on twitter!
There's a lot good music to figure skating:
1) "The Last Samurai" soundtrack;
2) "House of flying Daggers", soundtrack: get songs, edit and use them: the peonyhouse - lovers (flower garden) and farewell;
3) The soundtrack of the movie "Last the Mohican" is so good, but only if "you" know how edit.
-----------------

tinymavy:
Mozart's Requiem. No sparkles on the outfit, very dramatic, very dark clothes. This would make a good SP!
-------------------
102213:
You should do some program with the same refinement and sophistication as your tribute to Nijinski!!!
---------------------

I like your proposals

If you join the World Championships competition in Tokyo, Japan on the next season, My music suggestions are Howl's Moveing Castle main theme " Maerry-go-round~cave of mind" by Joe Hisaishi for Sp
and Japanese pop song "Kurebaiinoni" by KREVA.

Zhenya...
I cannot fathom that I, an avid fan and admirer, could possibly offer any ideas, as you are a master at what you do. Therefore, I shall endeavor to suggest to you what I feel in my heart. Unfortunately, I am a hopeless romantic. With that said, I will often be ostentatious. Watching you skate and perform, the passion that you exude...lifts my spirits and I sense it thoughout my entire being. My suggestions may presume too much romanticism. However, your powerful abilities, athleticism, and artistry burns this image within me. Edvin's arrangements are also a difficult task to comprehend giving ideas to. It's so wonderful of you to hopefully take the time to read our suggestions.

Here are my attempts. These are in no particular order:

J.S. Bach's Matthaus-Passion (St. Matthew Passion) Religious but powerful voices and music. Combining this with your dynamic and compelling talents, tells the story in itself.

John Williams' Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace - Duel Of The Fates Star Wars? Yes! Oh the Quads that can be performed in this piece is staggering. Powerful...very powerful music with the London Singers. Fast paced and laced with majestic and dramatic instrumentals.

Sergey Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet - Ballet in itself that I am certain you would be superb at performing. If only you were allowed to utilize props in your programs, a balcony scene or even a ballerina on the ice or alongside the rink. You adorned in a costume of the period. The Love Theme from the ballet (yes...I digress). Your special talent at interpreting and bringing the music to life through your skating coincides with the talents of Nijinksy and Baryshnikov.

Rachmaninov's Rhapsody On A Theme Of Paganini - This beautiful piece is passion emblazoned. Another ballet, but I am sure you could interpret it by only listening.

I see the music. I see you performing any of the above. Whatever your decision, it will be the right one. I have not been disappointed by anything you have done and it is doubtful that I ever will be disappointed.

With sincerest gratitude for just being you.

Becky (Doll)

Hi Zhenya,

I am glad that you are asking us for suggestions!
I think it would be a good idea to use Russian classical music. Dance of the Knights from Romeo and Juliet by Prokofiev would suit your style very well. Also, 1st piano concerto by Tchaikovsky would be a good choice.
I would also like to suggest two of my favourite Shostakovich music pieces:
String Quartet 8, especially mov. II http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjvTTfbpWjY
Violin Concerto 1, especially mov. II http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjWhDGm- ... re=related
I hope this helps!

[AnyaNikolaievna]

Just had to say how great it was that I am not the only one to recommend Duel Of The Fates! Isn't it MAGNIFICENT Doll? I also recommended Battle of the Heroes from Episode III!

That said I have yet another recommendation and call me CRAZY for not thinking of it sooner!

"VAN HELSING!" by Alan Silvestri (tracks "Transylvania, 1893," "Journey To Transylvania," and "Reunited" but anything from the score would work well for you Zhenya)

"Transylvania, 1893" (opens this clip)

"Journey To Transylvania"

Hi everybody!
My name is Marzia and I've just registered... because i've just seen Evgeni's message!
I won't spend time saying how much I admire him, it would be repetitive!
so, here there're two songs that I think than could be used... they're amazing!

I hope to be useful!

These are two acustic version of "Nothing Else Matters"...

Violin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbTozgoj9OQ

or Piano: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sZK4Hd2 ... re=related


The last one is a song called "Hope there's someone"... it's very very sad, but very touching

Well, now I have to go... It's quite late in Italy...
but, before I go... of course...
Love you Evgeni!
