In 1994, I finally had a chance to see Victor Borge in person - 30 years after I first saw him on TV. Even at 85 years old, he was still every bit as animated, funny, talented and entertaining! He showed me that playing music is not something that has to be serious all of the time, which is why he remains one of my primary influences along with Frank Zappa!
One thing I liked about Victor Borge was his ability to ad lib. Hardly a concert went by when he didn't deviate from the script -- when there was one, that is!
I have an old recording of this routine and he left out two of my favorite jokes... The baritone comes in singing "Toreador, toreador!" but he finds out he's in the wrong opera and, the soprano, before she dies, sings an aria, the so called "die aria". Miss him.
Victor Borge is such a treasure. I have loved him ever since hearing the album he did, of Hans Christian Anderson stories, as a young boy. I played it over and over. I still do, sometimes, even today.

Feels so... dumb (!) -- and yet utterly irresistible -- laughing at an elderly gentleman falling down on his piano. Victor's stuff never gets old -- what an evergreen...!
@@leonid3312 Which operas have you seen to be able to say that you don't like them? If you haven't seen any, then you can't really say that you don't like them can you.
Oh my god can‘t stop watching this video over and over🤗 So sad that such funny heartwarming people are already gone. But it is a gift that the memory of the movies and videos remain. My children love him. So I do.
Between the Russian communists and the Nazis we were fortunate to provide a home here to many extraordinary artists, musicians, writers and scientists. Europe's loss, our gain.
The world desperately needs more humor. Victor's slapstick comedy let's us laugh at him and ourselves. The most brilliant exponent of the art of comedy that the youngerly wish for.
His piano-playing remind me of Vladimir Horowitz. His smile and talk show remind me of Sir Charles Chaplin. He does these things naturally and how great it is . I thank GOD for his bornning in the world.
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!): th-cam.com/play/PLCby7t-aPVUksdwJPSy7ov7-tHibgxC4h.html
A brillant entertainer, piano- player and artist- seems not to be possible today mostly we have d- z classic stars, spendig their live in reality shows, bad behaviour and beeing whatever you want- but no artist or entertainer. So - Victor Borge was unique, rest in peace.

A danish man joking about Austrian music in english, and with hungerian subtitles. And a bit of japanese included. Wonderfull!
Its a very narrow field- the classical music comedian. Borge, ANNA RUSSELL, and PDQ Bach. Was there anyone else
@Geoff G I would too! Examples?

i never tire of falling down a Victor Borge rabbit hole
Twoderful!!
If it wasn’t for U tube, these gems would not be seen again.
Mozart would have loved such a musical parody of his opera.
Borge's irreverent humor (aimed largely at classical music itself), along with his obvious genius, makes him very much like Mozart.

Old composers never die, they just de-compose.
Omg- 😆
Monty Python did a song called Decomposing Composers. “ You can still hear Beethoven but not much of him left to hear.”
Yeah!

Yeah!
I'm right with you - Borge and Zappa ... EXCELLENT! 😊
One thing I liked about Victor Borge was his ability to ad lib. Hardly a concert went by when he didn't deviate from the script -- when there was one, that is!
Yeah!
I've seen him do the same ad libs for years! Everything was carefully planned. But he made it look spontaneous.
I remember watching him on this show. There were even more skits he did that night...he basically took over the entire show.
I have an old recording of this routine and he left out two of my favorite jokes... The baritone comes in singing "Toreador, toreador!" but he finds out he's in the wrong opera and, the soprano, before she dies, sings an aria, the so called "die aria". Miss him.
I love how the filming crew was playing along with his jokes. That was so wholesome and cute
The part with the mic on the crane was very good.
Victor Borge is such a treasure. I have loved him ever since hearing the album he did, of Hans Christian Anderson stories, as a young boy. I played it over and over. I still do, sometimes, even today.
I was lucky enough to see him preform in Oxnard Ca with his son. He entertained for almost 2 hours. He was 95 Years OLD. He didn’t look over 65.

Victor was a comedic Icon. Love him to pieces...
Yeah!
This is my favorite skit ever! Never gets old!
Yeah!
He is a really silly man, and the good kind of silly 😂😂😂 And he plays so well of course, that added to his genius skills of acting and comedy
Si on veux😅
I lost it when he started "singing"... what a talent!! Riotous!

I hadn't seen a video of Victor Borge in so many years. This is thoroughly delightful. I've never seen him that it wasn't amazingly delightful.
We are so lucky to be able to see this much of his talent.
I'm 26 and this man is a genius comedically and musically
There was only one Victor Borge! And his sendup of opera just about sums up my attitude to it, too.
hugely talented and great artist !
What an amazing man. He was so clever and so brilliant.
First time I've heard him! He is hilarious! Top bloke!
just look at this: th-cam.com/video/K3Z2mrpqtRo/w-d-xo.html
Now you want to hear more !!!
I bursted out screaming when he put up the note stand on the piano!
He was so funny!
I love him, love his sense of humor!
Greetings from Germany
When you watch victor borge ,you can see why he was given title clown Prince of Denmark
Victor Borge was such a musical treasure!
Yeah!
Absolutely beautifully insanely performed. Genialt! 🇩🇰
"And nobody knows, except Mozart, and he's dead"
That one got me on the floor.

Terribly awesome!What a brilliant guy should he's been!Marvellous!
I miss him so much the great Victor Borger
We certainly do
I love this routine.
The death scene here is positively amazing.
Viktor Borge as ever, brillant!
The tenor part at 8:40 is actually a pretty catchy line in its own right...
... well sung, too.
Yeah!
I always watched him when I was a little girl. Still love ❤️ him! Thank you 😊 please keep sending these videos.
Hes so cute when he laughs

Utterly brilliant.
What a marvelous, witty comedian he is. My neighbor´s dog woke up barking at the same rhythm than his voice and piano.
The best ever piano player 😅😂😊 from Andrew.
a talented genius,
This guy was great
He was such a fantastic and hilarious man. Not only was he a comedic genius, but he was an incredible musician. So sad there's no more like him.
There will never be anyone like him. A brilliant man!

It's crazy how he uses your expectation that he'd have bad timing due to age and turns it on its head.
When he came to US, he could play the piano but knew no English.
A true gentleman, sir
What a genius!
Everyone's dream grandfather.
yamaha, aso! kills me each time
There's a German musical clown named Helge Schneider. I finally found the inspiration for his piano antics.
Would love to hear him play something all the way through, we never have that luxury.
7:01 that really struck a chord with me 😉
In addition, this is also a great demonstration of ADD!! I love him!
Damn, never seen an actually funny guy from back then, he reminds me of Nor Mcdonald.
Legend !!
