Mailyn Mulvey is my Godmother! What a beautiful performance. I remember back in the days when she spent time with my parents. They were opera performers as well! Just incredible!
The true genius of Borge was his ability to comedically improvise the songs. Most pianists struggle to memorize the amount of songs he has let along posses the ability to not only play them on demand, but backwards, off key, and seemingly randomly mixed with other pieces, on demand. Truly brilliant.
There was no one like Victor then, and there hasn't been anyone since. He was a comedy genius (unlike anyone else) who was able to combine that talent with his ability to play the piano like a maestro. R.I.P. Victor 🤗 🎼 🎶 xxx
The best part about this is, even though this is Borge's show, and he keeps making her laugh, he never once upstages her in this piece. It's all a bit of fun but he still lets Mulvey shine.
Although he played “jokingly” ...... the sound of the piano he produced is very beautiful... his touch so incredible ... Always love the late Victor Borge’s music .... and his jokes 👍
This is why Victor Borge's comedy worked so well! Besides his comedic efforts he was a world-class pianist which only strengthens the comedy! No one would ever expect comedy associated with such graceful music! His act was truly one-of-a-kind!
My parents were instrumental in introducing Marilyn to Victor. My folks were good friends with George Weigl, Victor's retired Orchestral Director. Marilyn's parents contacted my folks to see if they could arrange a meeting, and all that resulted in all of them sitting down at a dinner. Victor was impressed, agreed to an audition, and the rest is history. He was looking for a talented musician who also had a sense of humor, who could play ""straight man" to Victor's comedy.
A number of times she lost it. That was until she got used to it, and then was able to maintain her composure. She nearly looses it in this vid, and one I have of them on DVD, she did lose it!! One performance my parents saw them at they had to stop the performance for 20 minutes because she had totally lost it.
Marilyn Mulvey had the voice of an Angel - fantastic ❤! The combination of this great female Opera Singer with Victor Borge was perfect and a great pleasure to every audience ❤❤
He was a master, master pianist, performer, comedian, all of the above and in of the nth degree, and Mulvey, she was lovely, great range, classic operatic voice, oh yeah, she was ideal with him, wonderful chemistry and timing. It really is fun to watch them and appreciate their flawless talent!
Borge brought classical to us deplorables by making fun of the more stodgy parts. As I've matured and come to realize that the Immortals rocked, I can imagine Them, jamming and hamming like this back in Their day!
I like really this Mans talent.. Great pianist great comedian. I only discovered him last night on one of those shorts while scrolling..Now I'm hooked...😊😂
We’ve lost it. We’ll probably never see this kind of gentle, intelligent humour again. Just two highly accomplished musicians messing around. No vanity and what’s more, no identity politics and no attempt to re-educate us. Stunning performance and funny too.
It's just going through phases. Before the time of intelligent, gentle humor there was rather nasty, cruel humor... intelligent humor will one day return.
Wow she has a phenomenal voice! What discipline and range! Victor as usual is hilarious and added so much entertainment. You can definitely see his talent as a pianist the way he masters those ivories!
R.I.P to both of them. WHat a great performance they did and they left us with this incredible performance. VICTOR BORGE of course was the brain behind this hilarious skit. He told Mariyln what to do and when to do what etc.
Oh what brilliant musicians! Brilliant performers! Marilyn Mulvey like a sunrise and her voice is fantastic! Artistic mix of high quality of music and nice humor.
You can be in awe with a great pianist, violinist, cellist or any other musician, but when you listen what the human body can do, in this case the voice, the amazement is multiply ten times.
Never get tired of Borge! Able to add comedy to his amazing classical music is amazing! You get the best of both worlds! Great music, excellent performance, entertainment!
Such a shame I wasn't born earlier to have enjoyed more of his live performances. I was only able to attend one of his live performances and it was the best live musical performance I have ever attended.
Fantastic professionalism. The ability to for these two consummate musicians to interact in a jovial play while performing sophisticated music demonstrates their competence, personality and good heartedness. It was a joy to find this on TH-cam and see how many others also love the experience thank you.
Man I'm imagining this guy would've been a Monster pianist if he was completely a musician only. Yet, he's legendary thanks to combining music with comedy!! And hats off to the singer who has a honey-sweet voice alongwith the composure to maintain it in the hilarious conditions
It was always a good time watching Victor Borge perform. A lot of the time singers performing with him did not know that he was going to these things while they sang.
Ils sont absolument doués, fantastic, remarquables , bourrés de talent. Cest, beau, hilaran, tout en même temps. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Ms. Mulvey, spectacular! It also demonstrates the respect that artists of her caliber had for Mr. Borge that they would perform with him such demanding works. When I was in high school my mother (Northwestern Univ. honors music education and piano major), designed a comic solo piano routine with me to perform in an annual school fund raiser. Fun!
I am so very thankful for these videos so we can continue to watch, enjoy, laugh at, and be in awe of Victor Borge, long after he has been gone. I introduced my son to his talent and humor when my son was in elementary school. He is 28 years old today, and he still loves Victor Borge. We used to watch him together and laugh and laugh. What an amazing and talented man.
O L D SKOOL TALENT! USED TO WATCH HIM ON THE TUBE WHEN I WAS A KID ON THE WEEKEND, AND HE KNOCKED ME OUT WITH HIS TALENT, THEN!!! THIS VOICE WAS'T HAD EITHER! THANKS FOR SHARING IT.
The great Victor 'B' and one of his classic performances with Marilyn, although I personally think the "hands off" version is even funnier ...... R.I.P Victor xxx
Mailyn Mulvey is my Godmother! What a beautiful performance. I remember back in the days when she spent time with my parents. They were opera performers as well! Just incredible!
amazing indeed!
@📺Jutub TV📺
Yes. Your parents.
What a beautiful woman and voice. You are lucky girl.
Absolut genial...
WOW !! God !
21+ years later...STILL, THIS IS A WORLD-CLASS ENTERTAINMENT BY TWO WORLD-CLASS ENTERNAINERS!.
35+, at least. He had grey hair in the 90s. But yes, world class. A++++, will always watch again.
I have been a fan for many many years - this is still wonderful and thrilling in 2024. Thank you.
When entertainment had class, simplicity, beauty, likeability. I miss this very much.
Singer ‘s voice is beautiful and she handles him humoring her performance nicely too. Nothing lessens her beauty.

**THANK GOD** that VB was one-of-a-kind. (So was the Elephant Man.) See above **SICKENING** note...
He was and he always will be wonderful forever....so talent ....incredible and IRREPETIBLE !!!
Don't really go for Opera. Except when Victor is playing.❤️
@@Sammysan123
Different kind of comedian
She was such an amazing sport to do this with him. What a voice!
A beautiful, gracious woman with a breathtaking voice................with Victor Borge...........brilliant in his own right! Thank you for posting.
Incredible composure to sing as beautifully as she did with out fully falling apart with laughter. Amazing to watch .
That is the reason why she could not look at him. There are many times you could see her tyting to control her laughter when she looked at him.
The best part about this is, even though this is Borge's show, and he keeps making her laugh, he never once upstages her in this piece. It's all a bit of fun but he still lets Mulvey shine.
the dog didnt show up on the first song? thats a surprise! lol
Although he played “jokingly” ...... the sound of the piano he produced is very beautiful... his touch so incredible ... Always love the late Victor Borge’s music .... and his jokes 👍
You right!!
Not many mucians have that kind of touch🤗
So agree...🥰
Both are fantastic

I crack up every time I see Mr. Borge. This soprano has a lovely voice and is being such a good sport.
She’s a fantastic singer maintaining her composure despite Borge’s antics.
I think they ask her to sing a song and said. By the way,Victor Borge is the pianist, good luck
They have probably performed this act hundreds of times :)
@@stevegoehring1610 r
How do you NOT laugh? They must have done this in advance so she knew what was coming.
A number of times she lost it. That was until she got used to it, and then was able to maintain her composure. She nearly looses it in this vid, and one I have of them on DVD, she did lose it!! One performance my parents saw them at they had to stop the performance for 20 minutes because she had totally lost it.
Had anyone noticed how did he play the right notes to help her continue singing? Wonderful man with high manners
"i beg to differ..."
I did. A very talented man.
Fabulous
Two incredibly talented artists together on one stage. They just don’t make them like this anymore.
In 2023 this is still great entertainment.
Marilyn has an unbelievable voice and Victor on the piano has an absolutely fantastic touch
Marilyn Mulvey had the voice of an Angel - fantastic ❤!
The combination of this great female Opera Singer with Victor Borge was perfect and a great pleasure to every audience ❤❤
What's more amazing is not only the jokes but that he can actually play so musically and so beautifully when he wants to!
Absolutely stunning, beautiful voice 👏👏👏👏♥️♥️♥️♥️🥇🥇
Always makes me laugh, but what a beautiful voice Marilyn Mulvey has.
I've seen this in different settings a few times now & get a laugh each time! He's cheeky & she can sing very high, wow!!
I always smile when I see this, too! 😀🙋♀️🇦🇺
He was a master, master pianist, performer, comedian, all of the above and in of the nth degree, and Mulvey, she was lovely, great range, classic operatic voice, oh yeah, she was ideal with him, wonderful chemistry and timing. It really is fun to watch them and appreciate their flawless talent!
And after that, she could have performed under any conditions you could imagine.
Borge brought classical to us deplorables by making fun of the more stodgy parts. As I've matured and come to realize that the Immortals rocked, I can imagine Them, jamming and hamming like this back in Their day!
*STINK, STANK, STUNK!!* See above "Sickening" note...
Such poise, such class and such talent .." they'll never come no more..."
It was a great loss when Borge died.
Bravo. Unsurpassed talent and fun. If the world sat for a performance like this once a month, it would be impossible not to be a better place.
I like really this Mans talent.. Great pianist great comedian. I only discovered him last night on one of those shorts while scrolling..Now I'm hooked...😊😂
Both are fantastic

Nothing to add, well said! Wokesters destroy everything beautiful.
It's just going through phases. Before the time of intelligent, gentle humor there was rather nasty, cruel humor... intelligent humor will one day return.
❤❤❤❤
Wow she has a phenomenal voice! What discipline and range! Victor as usual is hilarious and added so much entertainment. You can definitely see his talent as a pianist the way he masters those ivories!
Talent like Victor's comes along once in a lifetime. He can never be replaced.
Unfortunately, you're right.

Fortunately your right which is why they become legends.

TheMoonchild1969 have to agree with you, very pure voice and awesome control! Sigh.
Exceptionnelle performance! Merci beaucoup.

Brilliant! Beautifully sung and cleverly and humorously played.
Thankyou for Amazing performance
Wonderful Soprano!!
WOW! Two great talents . . . doing obviously what they did the best, but with a laugh -- what medicine for the soul.
The greatest Danish comedian, and he could play piano as well, i always lol when they show he performs on TV Rip Mr Borge
Yes. Victor Borge and Dirch Passer was the greatest in Denmark, ever. There will never be anyone as brilliant as them.
There will never be another Victor he was an amazing artist.

This lady is very generously providing her excellent and precious soprano for this nice joke.
What an act! Priceless! Amazing performance by two Masters.
How things used to be .Not like it is today.Life was good and kind miss those times very much 🎉.

Lovely and professional singer !
Never distracted by Sir Borge's genius and comic accompaniment.
Chic Madame j’adooore. very beautiful voice
What a great performance...Victor Borge the best funny piano player ever!!!
And Mailey Muvey...best voice ever
She doesn't lay her hand upon the piano this time. Lovely!!!
Wow, what a singer, they are perfect together, she's wonderful. he was a freakin' genius.
Какой великолепный голос. Какое великолепное исполнение.
she's amazing....and we know how good victor was
Voice on that girl.... my god!!!!!!
True, she really has an amazing voice!
There is so little to learn about her on the net. Sadly ... amazing voice and she did this routine for years with Borge.
th-cam.com/video/d5lC6_34ul8/w-d-xo.html
Not to mention her composure. Lol.
Yes?
These are world performers, the absolute top of the top ,,,,,😊😊😊
Amazing singing there Marilyn, really perfect high notes.
I only have just discovered this guy (and guyess).
It was always a good time watching Victor Borge perform.
A lot of the time singers performing with him did not know that he was going to these things while they sang.
He was hilarious and she was a good sport, and both were so talented and worked long hours to develop their talents.
RIP Mr. Borge. Thanks for all your laughs and amazing piano playing. By the way. The opera singer was pretty spectacular as well.
My dearly departed mom used to love seeing Victor Borges act by way of PBS back in the 1970s
Such an amazing voice and talent. And such a really good sport to do with with VB.
Superb singing....superb comedy
What a great, great voice!
So love this. Both of them. Victor was my dads my dads favourite. Belly laughing with tears rolling down his cheeks.
Bella voce.
Ils sont absolument doués, fantastic, remarquables , bourrés de talent. Cest, beau, hilaran, tout en même temps. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What a fabulous duo they were! Thanks for sharing this!
what a beautiful performance of the 2 !
Her voice is really fantastic .... very very talented sooooopr
How nice singing, playing the piano, a good constructed idea, a wonderful performance! Thanks!
Damm! Dude was a genius. A true beast! I loved watching him when I was a kid on PBS.
What a beautiful soprano voice 🤩
I think so too
Ms. Mulvey, spectacular!
It also demonstrates the respect that artists of her caliber had for Mr. Borge that they would perform with him such demanding works.
When I was in high school my mother (Northwestern Univ. honors music education and piano major), designed a comic solo piano routine with me to perform in an annual school fund raiser. Fun!
Marilyn Mulvey sings "Caro nome" in spite of the accompaniment of Victor Borge.
A priceless gem!
Ah, shut up!

I kick myself for not going to see him live....
Genius MASTER of humor and piano
I remember watching him as a child and looked forward to every note and piece of skullduggery he pulled. Maestro.
😃 Ah! The "Great Dane," himself! I had the good fortune to see this pair together, in Chicago. It was a wonderful show. He was such a cut-up! 😆
A bonafide classic!!! Memorable and irreplaceable. 🔥🤩🔥
