Legendary musical comedian Victor Borge shows us how modern composers work, and in doing so, invents the concept of “sampling.”
Continuation of Mike Wallace interview with “Franz Liszt.” In this clip, Borge performs a piano duet with Leonid Hambro. Hungarian Rhapsody no. 2
I totally agree…great talent! There will never be anyone like him again, he truly was one of a kind…loved him!! :o)
Sorry serenade :)))!
The youtube url grabber just came out with additional new features! You can now play your favorite video on the page itself, and if you like to check out other videos, that wont be a problem, for the preceding video will automatically stop playing without dawdling its buffer time! Also, you can now download mp4 format for your mobile phone!
what schubert piece was that???
Victor Borge had it all. Besides being a piano player nonpareil, he was a very clever and classy man who produced extraordinarily funny humor that was free of dirt and which hurt absolutely no one or anything. How in heck did he manage it so casually? We shall probably never see his match again.
He invented cut and paste too!!!
shostakovich! shostakovich! Just a moment! lol incredible count on victor borge to make comedy out of piano
i own a couple of vhs tapes of him and that is EXACTLY the joke he makes!! it was hilarious 🙂
Is there a sequence anywhere?
Shoshta moment here….
that joke should be “da-daladada-da,da(B,C)!
lol i love victor borge! lol he’s hilarious and i noticed something no1 else prolly has.. speaking of mozart the amout of minutes and seconds in this video is the same as the K. no. in a popular song of his, sonata K. 545 lol… the vid is 5:45 XD wierd!
Victor Borge always cracks me up 🙂
correction:
1:40 is Standchen composed by Schubert.
Lieu de repos however, is actually the Aufenthalt, also composed by Schubert and transcribed by Liszt.
the one at 1:40 is Standchen (lieu de repos)composed by Schubert.
aw…I was hoping he would actually play some Shostakovich
Pretty much how modern music is done today.
hes danish :)
Hello! I’m Argentinian, so I don’t undertand prety much his pronunciation. Can someone send me a private with the “script” of this? It will be great! Thanks
Serenade translates as “Ständchen”, which is in fact the name of the song (from the Swansong cycle). “Leise flehen meine Lieder” is how the first verse goes.
How did Borge “hit tune” end up sounding, I wonder?
Victor is the KING of Music Comedy! He gave Bug Bunny and Tom and Jerry and every cartoon sense then , that insight of the Hilarious Maestro. RIP. Victor Borge. thanks for posting!
