He was and still is the BEST! Thank you Victor! I am sure the angels are cracking up at your jokes and marvelled at your playing!! We miss you terribly!!
So much fun to watch!! Some of the fun is anticipating what's to come next!! grin. Needless ta say, Mr. Borge was a Master at the piano and comedy! What a combination! Cheers!!!
This is one of my favourite sketches and this version has the glove twist at the end. I don't speak or understand their words but their language of comedy (and music) is universal!
This sketch was made at the Swedish Televsion in Gothenburg as I was a student. Victor Borge was celebrating his 80th birthday and did a lot of performances in Scandinavia at that time.
I saw this when it was aired on Swedish tv. Love Victor Borge, brilliant man. I also think that was the first time I heard Eddie Skollers (the guy that introduced them) awesome songs!
It's easy to realize that he was such a phenomenal musician and pianist. That he could turn things on a dime was pure genius. He was the Fred Astaire of the musical arts.
No one came close then, and they haven't done since. Victor was a totally, 100% unique talent - often copied, but NEVER equalled, let alone bettered ! RIP Victor xxx
Lucky girl, to have worked with Victor Borge; most of his audience nearly ended up hospitalised from laughing too much! Or maybe i should say: lucky Borge, having a pretty & talented make-up artist to mop his brow! Bravo!
What a BRILLIANT sketch!!! Loved the Cleaner!! Victor Borge "struggling" to play the C#minor Valse and the Make-up Artiste and the Piano Polisher "show him how it's done"!! Priceless!!! Did Mr. Borge autograph the gloves after he was finished with them??!!
This is amazing! For one thing, it's not easy to purposefully make a mistake once you've learned a piece. Second, it's not easy to play piano with gloves on.
+ First Last I can confirm that! A favorite of mine, but it takes me a lot of concentration to prevent going astray. I really have to stay on top of it. Valse, C# minor, Op.64 No.2. It's an opus-mate with the Minute Waltz; 64 No.1, Db major. And the other one other, 64 No.3, Ab major, that has a very interestingly rambling nature. I can also confirm that intentional, purposeful mistakes are really hard to pull off.
Hi all, I have some rare footage with Victor Borge - recorded in his native country Denmark. He partly speaks Danish, but I have applied English subtitles for those parts. This is the playlist (Enjoy!): ruclips.net/p/PLCby7t-aPVUksdwJPSy7ov7-tHibgxC4h
Tak for det lille fine klip med Victor Borge. Jeg har haft ham som gæst på Hotel d'Angleterre, hvor jeg var piccolo. Du er også god at lytte til pøj,pøj med fremtiden. :-)
Not that is matters but this particular klip is from Denmark and in the Danish language. Eddie Skoller also made shows in Sweden and in Swedish, but just in case any one was wondering, this isn´t one of them... It´s a nice video, that´s for sure! ;)
Thanks for posting, to my account this is the 3rd (televised) impression of the famous Vorges routine of ¨mistakenly¨ playing the Chopin Waltz in C-sharp minor, Op. 64, No. 2 (at bar 22) being the first in Victor Vorge Parody & Music show (NBC,1946) and the second in the London Weekend - Borge Clockwise 1972, being the first one the most really impressive! yet this is the only one including the glove punch
A great entertaining video, Vítor Borges is an excellent pianist, but particularly in this video, a playback seems to have been used, not only because of the nature of the video, but also because it is difficult to play with gloves but also because it is difficult for a pianist to make mistakes when they already have practice in the execution of the piece. It can be seen that in reality they are not playing, just look at the hands and you see that when you hear the last two higher notes, the right hand is no longer on the keyboard, so it’s a play back (the right hand is in the air and not on the keyboard, the notes on a piano range from low to high from left to right), not that they do not know how to play, but because of the difficulties and comedic nature of the video! Or there is a lack of synchrony between the audio and the video, which I don't think because when they speak the sound is synchronized with the mouth.
The video and audio are not in sync! The audio is lagging nearly a second behind. Look at the left hand, playing the last note long before you can hear it.
APatronOfTheArts norwegian and swedish are very similar and we can easily communicate. But danish on the other hand is impossible to understand, even for the danish themselves.
This man is brilliant. I've been a fan since the first commercial that I saw in1990. RIP. Mr. Borge and thank you for the laughter.
Will never be another like Mr. Borge. The world is a sadder place without him.
He was and still is the BEST!
Thank you Victor!
I am sure the angels are cracking up at your jokes and marvelled at your playing!! We miss you terribly!!
I love that he had the humility to make that joke at his own expense! What a great man ❤️

What an awesome experience!! Jealous you got perform with him! You are a wonderful pianist and I'm sure he'd be proud!
Ja, but It's a very simple stage routine, but why can it be so hilarious?🤣🤣
I'm glad to see you telling this story.
Maestro Borge, wonderful ! always. Thanks for sharing.

Che bellezza! Talento ,musica ,e tanta ,tanta ironia 😊😊🎉❤!!!

OMG no one like Borge, he is SUPER fantastic comedian.
When intelligence meets humour only laughter can be the outcome and Viktor Borge was a prodigy on that matter
Thanks so much, such a great memory
men du hade inte hanske.....:)
Saw him live at Detroit Opera Theatre in the early 1990’s… so memorable! He was a great pianist AND comedian, such a rare combination..
No one came close then, and they haven't done since. Victor was a totally, 100% unique talent - often copied, but NEVER equalled, let alone bettered ! RIP Victor xxx

You simply just have to see his profile sitting at a piano and the musical and the comedic form a perfect harmony.
hilarious, i had only seen the english version of this particular sketch - nice glove!
What a BRILLIANT sketch!!! Loved the Cleaner!! Victor Borge "struggling" to play the C#minor Valse and the Make-up Artiste and the Piano Polisher "show him how it's done"!! Priceless!!! Did Mr. Borge autograph the gloves after he was finished with them??!!
So glad that I stumbled across this recording, and your whole channel!

Stephanie Johnson I can say from experience, this piece is pretty easy to mess up even after having learned it.

I can confirm that!

And even though he was making mistakes, his phrasing was much more fluid than the other two so you could tell he's actually a professional lol
Beautiful!
Genius, in comedy and as a musician.
Priceless video!
Love this guy!!! But please, English subtitles!!! :)

Thank you very much. I have been looking for some "new" VB sketches and you have provided them. Great!
Thank you!
Great!
Comedy gold from such a simple concept....!
Wenn Virtuosität und Humor sich treffen, bleiben sie immer Sieger!
You've got to love Victor Borge, he was a master on piano and a master at comedy.
Master pianist for sure.
He makes me SO proud to be Danish
Det var tider .. ❤
A highly original comedian. Pure class.
Tak for det lille fine klip med Victor Borge. Jeg har haft ham som gæst på Hotel d'Angleterre, hvor jeg var piccolo. Du er også god at lytte til pøj,pøj med fremtiden. :-)
I wanna borrow that right hand glove.
Yo quiero ese guante...
*Dieser Maestro war wirklich brillant.*
This is quality content right here

Han är briljant. Fullständigt briljant.
it's the gloves people it's the gloves!
Brilliant
He knows it so well, it is hard to play wrongly!
Cute. So cute.
class act .
Victor the Great ;-)
1:33 loved the raised eye brow
Is my iPad out of sync? All of them seem to finish before the music does!
No it is the synchronisation in the recording that is the problem
I like how he changed this act a little because normally at the end a kid comes and asks for an autogram but this time its the magic glove
autograph
super
Victor Borge, Anna Buchenhorst and J.Kallhed playing Chopin
FLAMENQUEANTES&THE DODGES Thanks for that information! I would‘ve never guessed it. I mean it‘s not like it‘s written in the title

Didn't understand a word, but I loved it anyway - THUMBS UP
1:25 , now all makes SENSE!
INOLVIDABLE EL GENIAL MAESTRO CONCERTISTA Y HUMORISTA
Fantastic!!!!
Afternoon in Paris Thanks so much❤
Thanks so much❤
Victor spoke Danish and it's easy for me as a swede to understand. The text is in Swedish!
006- 02. Year 1925 he went to cheak hands 2 hr. ,but may I. Years after and Frankensty on the left ,Mozart on the right hands.
A great entertaining video, Vítor Borges is an excellent pianist, but particularly in this video, a playback seems to have been used, not only because of the nature of the video, but also because it is difficult to play with gloves but also because it is difficult for a pianist to make mistakes when they already have practice in the execution of the piece.

That world-famous Swedish school of piano playing...
It was recorded in Gothenburg in Sweden. Thanks anyway!
Where did that last note come from?
The video and audio are not in sync! The audio is lagging nearly a second behind. Look at the left hand, playing the last note long before you can hear it.
Are the Swedish and Danish Languages similar enough that each is easily understood?
Some understand it better than others. :-)
APatronOfTheArts Yes we can communicate :-)
APatronOfTheArts norwegian and swedish are very similar and we can easily communicate. But danish on the other hand is impossible to understand, even for the danish themselves.
I hear Bo Burnham in a lot of Borge’s comedic stylings.
I wonder if Bo had seen his stuff because I had.
Name of the piece please?
Hi, it's Chopin Waltz in C sharp minor op. 64 no 2.
It is a difficult piece.
Я тоже хочу такие перчатки! 😊💐
Partially (according to wikipedia)
😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lol funny and they're great at playing the piano!
Op. 64 No. 2
another tribute to victor borge, you dont need to speak the language to understand it!
