Happy Belated Birthday to me: Natalia Mishkutenok and Artur Dimitriev's "Piano Concerto No.2" by Sergei Rachmaninoff
As a belated birthday gift to myself, I'm posting one of the most spellbinding performances that I've ever seen. Natalia Mishkutenok and Artur Dimitriev's 1994 Olympic freeskate to Rachmaninoff's "Piano Concerto No.2" is a work of pure genius. Though Natalia and Artur finished second behind Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov that night in Lillehammer, many, including myself, felt they should have won gold. No matter, Natalia and Artur, the 1992 Olympic champions, were stunningly brilliant and gave the skating world a marvelously compelling performance that I will never forget.
