5.0 out of 5 stars the best of all the figure skating videos, July 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Magic Memories on Ice III: An Unforgettable Season [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This contains the following uncut performances: * Rudy Galindo's FP in U.S. nationals * Viacheslav Zagorodniuk's FP in European Champion ships. * Ilia Kulik's SP in World Championships. * Todd Eldridge's FP in World. * Michelle Kwan's SP and FP in World. * Lu Chen's FP in World. during 1995-1996 season.

The last two performances by Michell (Richard Starauss' Salome) and Lu (Rachmaninoff's piano concerto No.2 2nd. mvt.) are still the most perfect performances that I have ever seen, even after Nagano Olympics in 1998. This is a must for any figure skating fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tape!!! Buy it now!!!, April 10, 1999

This review is from: Magic Memories on Ice III: An Unforgettable Season [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This a a well-produced, well-thought-out tape. It documents (arguably) one of the best years in figure skating history, the 1995-1996 competitive season.

This tape mainly features skaters from the United States, but also highlights performances from Ilia Kulik, Lu Chen, and Irina Slutskaya.

Best of all, it cuts out a lot of the annoying commentary that you often hear on regular skating broadcasts.

This review is from: Magic Memories on Ice III: An Unforgettable Season [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video is fantastic. Like the other 2 "Magic Memories" videos, it relies mostly on competitive performances of skaters with just enough of the behind the scenes extras to make it intriguing. Michelle Kwan's 96 Worlds performances - Romanza and Salome - are included in their entirety, along with Chen Lu's Rachmaninoff LP. No annoying extra commentary, just skating. Rudy Galindo's priceless LP at 96 Nationals and his emotional reaction are on this video as well. And, Todd Eldredge's winning LP from 96 Worlds is uncut and stunning. The complete LACK of the usual annoying cuts and extra voiceovers make this a one of a kind chance to relive these performances as if it were the first time.

The quality is excellent - sharp, clear and bright. The only thing I didn't like about this video was the fact that it had to end. This remains my favorite commercial skating video ever and I highly recommend it, as well as the first two in the series.
