Whoever doesn't like this masterpiece is nuts in the head. This is one of the greatest pieces of music ever composed.

there can be so many other skaters performing this kind of music with really difficult technical elements, fast skaters that hit every single move with pinpoint accuracy, but again; to see how she relates to her music and becomes one with it in the middle of the program, that I don't think I will ever see again.

this...is incredibly amazing.

@mvy2k I agree again. My favorite performances of hers include swan lake, the Sade song from 1994 Ice Wars, a spanish number where she wore a black dress and big red flower, another spanish number to a Madonna song (orangy/red dress with polka dots) and the kind of middle eastern type song where she held that little light. Her music choices were always great. She was IMO the best female figure skater of all time.

@lavergne100 Thanx for your comment.

Such a performer in any area is a God's gift and we are lucky watching Oksana!!!

By the way she and I from the same beautiful Odessa port-city in Ukraine.

The heart of the city desighned by italian and french architects.

The city has one of the world's best opera building, famous Potjomkin steps (192 steps) etc. It worth to find city images on internet!

@mvy2k I agree 100%. She is magical on the ice...sensual, musical and just breathtaking to watch. You can't take your eyes off of her! I'm shocked that a lot of her You Tube performances have so few views. Has she been forgotten already? As Scott Hamilton said once during her performance, "She never even has to leave the ice." in reference to the fact that her movement alone was enough.

am i going mad, or is the music a bit weird and patchy?

@minitay12: IDIOT! Baul is NOT a trained ballet dancer being directed by a ballet artistic director.... she's a skater that HAS CHOSEN Swan Lake to perform to.....

IDIOTS on the internet.....

@Salameh84

Tchaikovsky was the god of Romantic era music.

@jimmm7339ki3456

Thcaikovsky's probably my favorite composer ever----Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, and The Nutcracker Suite! Are there any more beautiful or inspiring pieces of music? I think not! ^__^ And Oksana skated beautifully to his work!

[Atramentumink]

This rendition of Tchaikovsky's music, apart from Baiul's choreographic dexterity, is superb!
