Aliona Savchenko/Robin Szolkowy thread

Thanks for the article, starg!! Very Happy

I heard a rumour about the "Schindler's List" program ... so it seems to be true. I love this soundtrack, but it is imo no easy stuff (neither is the movie!!). So, if a skaters manages to pull this music off, which I think is artistically demanding , I'm sure I would love the program and probably cry the first moment I see it. But if skaters can't really connect to that music, I guess I would hate the whole program, because it ruins the music (and what's behind it!!!) for me.
What I want to say: I guess it is a hard job to create an appropriate program to that music (and what people connect with it) but I also hope that S&S can do it!!! It could be a masterpiece!!

I totally agree with Nina's post. Picking piece of music that carries such a huge emotional baggage is risky but also challanging. I believe they'll create an outstanding program and I'm so looking forward to see it!!!

A friend in Chemnitz told me, Aljona and Robin will present their new programs in July.

Can't wait for it Smile

Oh, Schindler´s List should be their music? That would be incredible! I do believe that they are able to express that music and mood of it perfectly. Aliona is such an emotional skater and Robin matches her very well. Keeping my fingers crossed for them on this super

Thanks for the info!

I guess we can see their new SP costumes here:

I think I liked Aliona's previous hair better. Don't know what to think about the costumes...
The glimpse of their SP is here (difficult to identify the music piece though):

It looks more like an exhibition program, maybe that's what it is.. confused

you know.. when I saw their costumes last year I hated them but after hearing the music I think they were great. I guess it'll be the same this year. Or for example - if you saw Kerr's costumes without the FD you would most probably hate them too Wink

as for Aliona's haircut... uhm I liked her better in the previous one. she looks older now.

Yeah well maybe if we see the whole program it will be better..maybe they will even change the costumes if they realize nobody likes them by the time of Euros.

Can she look any more skinnier? lol
