Someone bought my grandmother a 4 tape VHS set of Victor Borge for Christmas one year. She sat for hours on end, watching and rewatching those tapes until they were worn out. That was in the early 90's. She's since passed away, but whenever I see this man I think of her and the happiness he brought her.
Saw him in person about 30 years ago. Laughed so hard I thought I might die because I couldn’t breathe. I’m not kidding. A comic genius. No one before him did what he did and no one after. I really like Jim Stafford but Victor is unique.
Moreover he was completey free from smut and innuendo which pervades so much of today's 'humour.'. Just a thoroughly enjoyable and creative slapstick offering.
I saw him in concert in Dallas two months before he passed on. The body was slower, but the wit was still as sharp as ever. He walked out to applause, then when it began to die down, he lifted his tails & a plume of smoke came out. He walks to the mike, and in his Danish accent, he goes, "Mexican food!"
+Jonas Damm okay, maybe I said it wrong, because I wasn't typing in search bar "best piano performance ever" I was watching some piano videos and this came up, but I didn't expect any comedy, so it's not what I was expecting but I wasn't disappointed :D
My mother who played piano absolutely loved Victor's style and his humour. She used to sit on the couch and laugh until she cried watching him. I love that memory I have of her. Miss and love you mom. Thanks for the little messages. They aren't falling on deaf ears. xoxo
Though Borge was known for his comedic piano schtick, he could play as well as any concert pianist. I heard him once play a piano piece with no comedy and was blown away. He obviously was well trained in piano to do what he did so effortlessly.
I think music critic Jacob Siskind put it best: "Borge is such a cut-up, you don’t expect him to play with that incredible sensitivity that is his…the tone is pure gold." He certainly came by it honestly, he was born to a musical family, his father was a distinguished member of the Royal Danish Philharmonic. His mother introduced him to piano at age 3 and his prodigy level playing earned him several scholarships. His sense of humour almost got him killed. He was forced to leave Europe, on the last American ship to depart, one step ahead of the Nazis, who didn't appreciate his comedic shots at Hitler in his stage act.
I dont know where but I read somewhere on the Internet that Borge was put in the same class/degree/level as Horowitz by music critics and that trained to be a concert pianist but had huge stage fright but then he used his brilliant comedic mind to start a career like this .
+ senorkaboom And on his longer TV appearances, he would also mix in an occasional serious performance. And as serious performances, they were quite superb! Even spellbinding. Yes, he really was a virtuoso of the instrument; and one who knew how to make fun with it, as well. The combination made for an utterly unique level of entertainment, in the truest sense of the word.
+Jessy Chainé probably anybody can play piano with proper practice. but you do need some special talent to learn pieces quicker than others and play better than other people
And experience with countless audiences, as well as a sense of comic timing that - let’s face it - not too many pianists have 🤣. As far as this kind of comedy is concerned, Victor Borge and Anna Russell are the all time greats!
I had the pleasure of seeing Victor Borge in concert as a teenager. What an unbelievable talent. There will never be a genius like him ever again. RIP, Mr. Borge. May God bless and keep you. 🙏
I remember seeing the William Tell Overture gaff at the beginning as a kid. I searched for it for years because I couldn't remember who it was. Thanks to YT recommendations, here it is!
I remember the first time I heard Victor. I remember the last time I heard Victor live. I'm looking forward to seeing Victor again in that great piano playground in the sky.
We saw him in Dallas years ago. Show was starting a few minutes late. He walks out to audience applause. He quickly quietens us down. He releases a large puff of smoke from his mouth and audience laughs. 😁 After we quieten down he says.... TEX-MEX dinner. Hahahaha🤣
@@vigokovacic3488 lol, everything has a natural frequency to it which means it'll hit the same frequency, or note, every time it's hit. There are videos of people with perfect pitch who just go around and hit things and say what note it is.
@@petrichor9279 I myself have perfect pitch and I myself have tried hitting, per se, tables and identifying their pitch and succeeded, however, I still kinda doubt that what I had heard was an actual note and not my mind trying to find a pitch somewhere in that sound of hitting the table. Therefore I still doubt that every object has an identifiable frequency, or rather, tone.
Legendary.. Miss you Børge.. Today´s world need you to bring back a smile between people.. Will never forget your outstanding performing skills. Best humor ever - really... As an artist Victor Borge was second to none..
The amazing thing besides the fact he was an amazing player and comedic talent is he played concerts literally right up to the day he passed away at 91 years old. He had just returned from playing a concert the day before in Denmark. Apparently when asked where he planned on spending Christmas that year(he passed on December 23, 2000) his reply was along the lines of, "somewhere different." My father would have us watching his shows when we were kids (1970's) and I always remember thinking that Mel Blanc must have been channeling Victor Borgia when he was doing those great Bugs & Daffy dealing piano pieces. The truly wonderful thing about Victor Borgia is he transcends generations. You don't have to be a Baby Boomer or Gen X to appreciate his work. It truly appeals to all and will for hopefully many generations to come.
I love that this man added brilliant musicianship with genius level humor. I love that he never took himself too seriously and he is entertained me for hours!
My grandfather was Borge's go to piano tuner when he was in the tri-state area. He wanted him to go on the road with him and be his tuner but my grandfather didnt want to be away from family.
Every performance by Mr. Borge was GREAT. I loved it after he would fall off his bench, get up, oped the bench lid and take out a seat belt and put it on.
Ah Ha! The young Victor Borge run up the keyboard and falling off the end of the bench routine. I was looking for this one. I think the time I saw it was on the Carol Burnett show. I had the TV pulled into the bathroom doorway, so I could lounge in the tub and watch TV at the same time. He came off his piano bench and I nearly drowned laughing.
Who else could master and understand two of the hardest schools of art, music and comedy, join and bring balance to both? I can't think of anyone else.
I enjoyed his musical fun as a child. Very pleased to see her is available to be enjoyed by a new generation thanks to the internet. Simply the best pianist, who is also able to turn his great talent to comedy as well. Thank you RUclips for having his performances available. These bring back such fond memories.
I love it when the *bait click* type of title actually is correct about the video. It truly is the best piano performance I've ever seen and heard. Pure piano skills and the greatest musical sense of humor - all in one Victor Borge!!!
Ma-JEST-ic! HAWesome! Those are the words for the comedy Victor Borge could always find in music, while remaining a virtu-HO-so pianist! Thanks for posting this classic!
Our God is an Awesome God. He created the entire universe and everyone and everything in it. How Awesome is it that Jesus Christ died on a cross to save us from our sins. Nowadays everyone and everything is awesome.
+Ilari Kauppi and it is. the title said performance. a piano performance. a performance including a piano. just because it's piano doesn't it's automatically related to a piano music.
+ Arindam's Adventure It's the William Tell Overture, by Rossini; i.e., the overture of the opera of that title. It was used as the theme music for the 60's TV western, "The Lone Ranger."
There was never anybody like the great Victor Borge. When I was in London in 1982, he was giving a televised concert, and it was promoted on a billboard--not just in the popular press. He authored two fantastic books on music history., MY FAVORITE INTERMISSIONS and MY FAVORITE COMMEDIES IN MUSIC. If you're lucky, you can still find copies.
this was so funny when I saw this on TV as a kid, way back when. So clever. So entertaining. I would have loved to have seen him in concert. What a fun night out
One if the best performers ever. I rank him high among other acts, like the Smothers brothers. So many fond memories sitting next to my mom watching this man.
Can't understand anyone not liking him. I remember him fondly from my childhood - look up his "Inflationary English" and "Phonetic Punctuation" ! And yes, he was also a brilliant classically trained pianist
How I loved Victor Borge when I was a kid in the 50s. Just hilarious stuff. By the time I was in my teens, I’d figured out how fine a pianist he actually was, and had to be in order to pull off what he did. Brilliant, unique and missed.
Same thing for the Spike Jones City Slickers band. I understand that they had to practice for hours in order to sound “bad.” They were all first class musicians in real life.
There is only one Victor Borge. Nobody else performed like this. I was lucky to see him in a live performance when I was a kid. He was not only funny, brilliant and gracious, but an original, unique mind.
I opened up for Victor in Stockholm, Sweden. What a stellar performer and a great guy! He enjoyed my band and invited us to perform with him for the Queen of Denmark at the Waldorf Astoria. We all flew back on the plane with them.
Vielen Dank, John, for that! Thanks to you, all of us (those who really appreciate creative arts & cherish those moments in life when you realize that you were a part of that enlightening experience)
When I was in first grade, this would have been in the early 90’s, we had an assignment where we had to write down who we thought would be the coolest babysitter to have. I wrote down Victor Borge. I’m still happy with my answer.
Victor Borge never forgot that his audiences were composed equally of those who knew classical music well, and those who didn’t, so he trod a fine line between physical and musical gags.
