I remember Victor from my childhood. He was an extremely talented, funny as all get go and there has never been anyone like him. I remember he sat at his piano with his sheet music and started playing a waltz. Then he made a face, stopped playing, turned the sheet music upside down and started playing The Blue Danube Waltz. He was the world's favorite grandfather. Miss you Victor! Thanks for all the laughter, music and memories.
REALLY? That’s terrific! My dad and my sister went to see him in the 70s and they came home all smiles and laughing for two days. I’m so glad that I actually get to see him on RUclips now, and he is every bit as charming, funny and talented as they said. Thanks for everything you did Mr. Borge. That’s wonderful that he inspired you to play the piano. 💜💙☺️
After seeing a classic clip and hearing about him from my folks. I've been watching him happily for few hours now, such different and somewhat rare humour compared to these days. Bravo 👏 🫡
Victor....,you made me laugh yes...., but you made me crying too. When you played piano seriously I could feel your sadness. You have been a special man.
first time i heard victor borge was in england in 1957. my parent had a ‘78’ record. one side was all humor . the other side of the record was the serious playing. what a great man.
@happyheart6125 We all are. And the best thing is we can still see him over and over again for 100x or for those seeing him for the first time. I never got tired of watching this man. Laughs, tears, love, and brilliance, that was our Victor.
There's no boring moment with the musical genius!

Wo😂
Thank you so much Victor for all of your uplifting and very funny comedy and beautifully played classical piano playing. Such a very talented man.
A genius. Such timing and what a real musician who could keep one in the palm of his hand. Brilliant.
He was the main reason I studied piano for 10 years.

He was gifted but can you imagine the practice,dedication and hard work

He made me laugh when I needed the most
What a treat, and one of Victor Borge's shows i have never before seen. Thank you so much for posting.
a great showman, musician and comedian and i guess a beautiful person too !!!

When he plays with no comedy, it is astonishing. Love this guy!
Si geniusly funny when he jokes, then deeply artistic when he plays seriously.
A total genius and artist, same time.
Man...and he goes on and plays the most beautiful variation.
I know right?! Casually, brilliantly played the 18th variation

Yes ,I totally agree ,he was gifted
Made me cry but for laughter! 🤣🤣🤣
I watched him when i was kid and got better with my piano- i still him and now im 77 yrs olf
"some day, these are going to be the good ole days"...
They already are...
Said everyone with a bit of wisdom
The magic still works!
Thomas: "I'll play the Blue Danube." Victor: "I don't care what color it is, just play it!" 😂😂
He even played it with the sheet music upside down and torn! He was the brightest moments we ever had.
One of the greatest pianist of all times! And such a funny guy, i love him dearly, anytime of a day😊
He was fantastic, even as a kid- fabulous pianist anytime- knew so much!!❤️
Ein fantastischer Pianist mit riesigem ❤❤und Humor 😂
Das stimmt ❤
Mr Borge's variation has to be the most touching version I have ever heard. the connections in between the phrazings is insightful
Im so lucky to have seen this amazing piano virtuoso and comedian.

Excellent Mr. Borge❤
Upstaged by cleaner, I like it
That was a very young Liberace from America.
He never dates. Fabulous.
Uncle Frank (American) got a joke late and laughed in a quiet bit. Victor stopped came to the front of the stage bowed and said "thank you sir" ❤❤
Love his humour, love his music!
Absolutely brilliant .
I saw him in 1973. In college. wow. i'm in Oklahoma, probably the one one there who knew classic
fantastic
Škoda, že tu nejsou titulky jako jinde. 😞 Mistra Borgeho miluji a tady mu nerozumím.
He called it, 74 was the good ol days (except for cars but nah nah nah)
