Michelle's Tosca Music

[lutzalot]

I am a skater who is looking for a version of the music "Tosca" similar to that of Michelle Kwan's, or Irina Slutskya's from a few years ago. I've been searching for a while for this music, but all I seem to be finding is the slow part of the music from the opera. Does anyone know what CD their version's came from? Or, where I could find a version of the song that includes the fast part of the music (Michelle's begining and end, Irina's ending to her program). I love this music so much, but it's soo hard to find (I've tried downloading it, looked on Borders, Barnes and Noble, CDNow, Amazon, etc...) I keep finding the same few CD's which are either the operatic version, or only the slow parts. :( It's frustrating! If anyone knows where the version with the fast part is, please help! Thanks!

Tosca has many other beautiful parts besides irina's and Michelle's(awful) choices.
The fast section is the end of the opera were Floria tosca sees her beloved Mario killed(so it's stupid for michelle to start with that!) and the slow section is what Mario sings before he's killed( it doesn't really fit a women!)
I suggest you to listen to the whole thing, besides those 2 arias you knor there is a very famous te deum in act I and in act II the most famous soprano aria vissi d'arte.
There's a beuatiful instrumental part at the beaggining of the 3rd act.
Also if you like opera for skating I recommend you to listen to lucia de lamermoor it has beautiful instrumental-harp sections and a very dramatic story that could go well in the ice.
