I can only wish there would be someone like him nowadays, where humor of excellence is somewhat scarce. So glad to be able to bring back his great and fine sense of humor.
Soooo sad to see other comments that criticize one of the first televised masters known to the common people in America. Borge overcame the boundaries of the time period, broke through walls that we take for granted today ONLY because he did the work for us. His was a talent that others can only poorly duplicate if at all, bringing not only laughter in a war torn world but genius, no one could transition between great works of that caliber not then and certainly not this present day. BEFORE you critique a master, be sure you can prove yourself to be as dedicated to the craft. I doubt highly, the naysayers have a clue...were you to see him in person it would be forever a life changing moment. RIP V. Borge
That is a unique technique he has as a pianist! Enviable! Apparently he discovered his talent for comedy as a result of his nerves when performing as a soloist!
Brilliant , Rachmaninov second concerto ! Thank Victor Borge , l met you long time ago and didn’t know who you were , l sat at your piano and the tuner told me not to touch it and you said ok she is very soft ! Thank you mr Borge
