My Husband met Mr. Borge at a music store named Grinnels in livonia Michigan , He was there to release a new Steinway line , Victor was a spokesman an would meet the people , Although my husband plays guitar this was an is a very important moment for my husband his first guitar . Back in the 70,s signed by Victor Borge signed by Mr Borge
When I was a kid, I passed up an opportunity to hear him live in my hometown, Manchester NH. I allowed a high school teacher to pressure me into attending a school activity that evening. I've regretted it ever since. I'd now have the memory of the concert, and the teacher's disapproval would mean absolutely nothing. In fact, the teacher's disapproval DOES mean absolutely nothing...
the same stupendent request....................when this ovation has died down ....... he was a Phd , or as my grandmother used to say >> just a .......... ( my favourite moments in this spot )
Actually this was 1980 or 1981 as I am playing violin in the Wren Orchestra and I stopped playing in mid 1981. Victor Borgs was quite the worst and most difficult conductor to follow, and not a very nice person in rehearsals. He was not well liked by the band. However it all changed for the concert and was chaotically funny.
Notin Usenow :whatever came out as funny should have been very well orchestrated. So you ,being in the orchestra ,should have known better that rehearsals would have been strict and demanding.
FWIW Australian journalist Ross Campbell, in his autobiography, reviewing hosts of people he’d interviewed, said Victor Borge was the ‘rudest man he’d ever met in his life.’ Borge on stage was incomparable. But that sort of perfection often comes at a price.
Well, in Borges’ last interview, before he died, he was in Denmark in the year 2000 and interviewed by Mette Lisby and Hans Pilgaard. Borge is REALLY rude to Hans Pilgaard (who is gay btw and as of 2021 married to a young good looking guy) and yet flirting with Mette Lisby. BUT to be fair, Hans Pilgaard also tend to be rude, and has extensive diva vibes, so I guess like attracts like ! th-cam.com/video/1th8w106Kok/w-d-xo.html
@chaspoll1 Even Elvis Presley was a difficult person to work with. All of the pressure for the success of the performance is on the headliner's shoulders, and they get stressed out like anyone else. However, a performer who just seems to be a jerk is Diana Ross. I have a friend who is a professional stage hand He has said he will never hang another show for her. All of the stage hands hated working for her.

traditionally Orchestra conductors arent going to be the nicest people during rehearsals and its nothing personal.
Actually this was 1980 or 1981 as I am playing violin in the Wren Orchestra and I stopped playing in mid 1981.
