    I've lost count of how many times I've watched and enjoyed this. Makes me wonder every time. She knows just what he's going to do and still has trouble keeping from laughing. Mark of a real comedy genius.
    Hat off to Michala for being such a sport.

    As he was improvising most of this song (which is incredible in itself), notice how at 3:38 he thinks the melody is going in another direction (as it did at 1:25), then realizes, and in a split second seaminglessly changes his play. I believe the chello player in the back notices and smiles! Small detail that just goes to show what a truly gifted pianist he was. RIP

    actually at the dvd that was realesed with his life work shortly after he passed away, may his soul rest in peace, he did explain that he had heard this pice of music but he had never learnt to play it, so yes he imporivises the entire time. he was a genious, a musical wounder. RIP Borge, i am sorry that i didnt have time to talk to you once more before you passed away

  • @clausskov4202

    And he will be remembered.. For sure.. maybe not for the musical talent, maybe not for his finesse but maybe because he was not only the first stand-up-comedian but the only one with that talent of both musicality and humour.

    • @marcvdbosch1802
      @marcvdbosch1802 6 лет назад +16

      Why not for his musical talent?? Hear him play claire the lune : he has a beautifull touch and plays with a lot off musicality and feeling. Apparantly he started making jokes because he was nervous on stage, but in the beginning he was a very prommissing concertpianist !!

      Of course he knew the Monti Czardas! It's the most famous party piece in the world! And of course he was improvising. There's only 4 chords, and half of them he is deliberately playing wrong. The talent here isn't the piano playing, it's the comedy timing. And the ruthless trolling of the best recorder player in the world....

    And to remind you all.. Victor Borge was the entertainer that pushed classical music to its limits.. If he wanted to.. he could have played everything with no humour, but his effect on classical music was so much more because he used his humour. Them americans say he was an american but he was danish in his roots.. Musically and humour.

    As a big fan of both artists, this would not have been funny unless he made her laugh. He had to really work up a sweat to make such a virtuoso crack ... But who on earth could resist this man's genius?? Every time she laughs, her humanity shines through for us mortals.

      Very Brave to let Victor Borge accompany her! Because Mr. Borge will do whatever possible to get her to laugh for the purpose of distracting her from performing perfectly, but she did anyways! Don't get me wrong I love watching Victor Borge perform on all his comedy DVD albums, but he didn't make this whistle/flute player Michala Petri laugh while she was playing her part!
