This review is from: Dance! - The World's Favorite Ice-Skating Music (Audio CD)

As a big fan of figure skating, I've always found it incredibly difficult to find the music my favorite skaters have skated to. Finally this album answers so many of my questions. I now know that Yu-Na Kim skated to Gershwin's Piano Concerto in F and Michelle Kwan skated to Liszt's Totentanz. This album not only covers the current programs but classic programs like the epic Torvill and Dean Olympic gold winning performance to Ravel's Bolero. The only track that is missing is Rachmaniov's Trio Elegiaque in D Minor - also known as Michelle Kwan's tear-jerking short program from the 1998 Olympics.
