Description
An Easter gift: Mario Lanza's beautiful, touching voice with Gordeeva and Grinkov's exceptional ice skating make an incredibly wonderful combination which brings heartfelt meaning to this classic song from the musical Carousel.
The song "You'll never Walk Alone" is from the musical "Carousel".
"Carousel is the second stage musical by the team of Richard Rodgers (music) and Oscar Hammerstein II (book and lyrics). The work premiered in 1945 and was adapted from Ferenc Molnár's 1909 play Liliom, transplanting its Budapest setting to the Maine coastline." Quote is from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carousel_(musical).
"Richard Rodgers (1902 - 1979) and Oscar Hammerstein II (1895 - 1960) were a well-known American songwriting duo, usually referred to as Rodgers and Hammerstein. They created a string of popular Broadway musicals in the 1940s and 1950s during what is considered the golden age of the medium. With Rodgers composing the music and Hammerstein writing the lyrics, five of their shows, Oklahoma! Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I and The Sound of Music, were outstanding successes. In all, among the many accolades that their shows (and their film versions) garnered were thirty-four Tony Awards, fifteen Academy Awards, the Pulitzer Prize, and two Grammys." Quote is from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodgers_and_Hammerstein.
Yekaterina Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov are shown here participating in the 1988 Winter Games in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. This video shows them skating in the second section of their long program for which they won a gold medal. They are actually skating to Frédéric François Chopin's Larghetto.
The video section of them was borrowed from 3Axel1996 who has uploaded over 4,000 videos. The actual URL is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B0tSnQKzwo. I encourage my viewers to visit 3Axel1996's cite for more beautiful ice skating videos of Gordeeva and Grinkov and other wonderful skaters.
The painting at the end of the video is titled "Ascension" by the artist is Rembrant Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606 - 1669).
