I wish there was a way to watch this performance without the commentary. Would love for there to be a way that someone could make a separate video for this performance that did just that. This is a performance that sooooo deserves to be watched by all without the annoying commentary from announcers.

@wegersfour It was the most memorable pairs program for me of all-time. Chills here as well, 21 years later.

This performance seethes with a cultural patrimony in music, ballet and sheer interpretive excellence that cannot be matched.

[italcan57]

The most beautiful, interpretive piece of skating of all time.

[wegersfour]

Just Beautiful. Very Dreamy. I guess that music is named the Dream of Love.

WOW!! It gave me the chills also.

@ja3399 I think Tamara Moskvina along with ideas from Artur and of course from Natalia. Artur had a male coach to teach him how to look graceful yet powerful and also to help him positions lifts correctly. And don't forget; the Protopopov's did this in 1962, when Tamara's [future] husband -Igor Moskvin- was THEIR coach. Cheers. ;-)

I was wondering if this was on YouTube and I am so grateful to see it is. I remember this dearly from first viewing them at the 1992 Olympics. What a performance of sheer beauty. The costumes, the choreography, the music....everything. Perfect.

[ja3399]

Who was the choreographer?  As many times I go back to this vid for pure enjoyment, I have never known whose idea this was. Whoever this was, whatever else this person did in life, this was STELLAR.

@Damika82 This performance of M&D's was topped only by the performance at the 1992 Olympics with the same music and nearly identical costuming.

I agree this was my favorite pairs LP of all time. I don't know if any other pair could ever do justice to this music the way M&D did.

@libralady1010 Well Artur as a skater had declined by the time was with Kazahkova so in a way they were also equals, just much lesser ones than Natalia and Artur of 90-94 had been.
