who skated to this music?

Twice in the last 2 days I've heard different movements of the Piano Concerto #2 by Shostakovich. I can picture someone skating to this, but I just can't think who. The Skating Music List (http://www.skatemusiclist.com/) site doesn't have it listed, but they don't purport to be comprehensive (although they're the best site I've found for that).

It's driving me mad. Help please!

I think Emanuel Sandhu skated to this as part of his program a couple seasons ago.

Yes! That's it! Thank you. :bow: Now I can get to sleep at night. ;)

BTW, it was his long program, which also featured Violin Concerto #1 in G Minor by Bruch, and the Violin Concerto in D Major by Tchaikovsky. I remember that LP as being the "Violin Concerto" program, so the piano bit threw me.

I think Kristi Yamaguchi skated to Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D Major during the 1998/99 SOI show, but since I'm not exactly a classical music expert, I could be wrong. ;) I do know Wirtz and Wirtz used the same piece of music for one of their short programs around the same time, but I don't remember Sandhu skating to it (if it's the same piece of music I'm thinking of). What year would this have been?

It was originally in the 98/99 season, then he brought it back a year later.
