I wish i would have been old enough to appreciate him. This is the guy that famous bugs bunny and tom and jerry piano episodes are based on. What a wonderful man he was. His preformences looked like a real treat
Every person that makes us laugh and enjoy is worth a statue ........I love this sort of entertainment, brought to us on a different level than what we witness nowadays
I had the great experience of seeing him in person, in Loveland, CO. I never laughed so hard in my life, and I wasn't the only one. He played Claire de Lune and it was once and forever my favorite piece of music. Miss him - one of a kind.
Always delightful, clever…a beautiful music…I think this is the fourth show thus morning. Earlier he played ‘Variations on Theme by Paganini’ by Rachmaninov 💞

Thank you for your spell binding, absorbed and transporting journey through your love and expertise of your music, your gentle & appreciated humour. You have given me such joy after a slightly trying day. Thank you gentle genius.
Yes he was a Great. Man. I envy the Europeans for experiencing him when he was alive and performing such beautiful music. Love you all from South Africa ❤❤❤
SO MANY GREAT CHOICES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.HOW LONG WOULD ITTAKE ME TO WATCH THEM ALLLLLLLLL?/DON'T HAVE THAT TIme????'1/30/2024! VICTOR BORGE!!! /SO GREAT!!!/2:36 PM/1/30/2024!/QUIET PLEASE... GET STILL & LISYRN & WATCH...BOTH!'/CE
Borge had a great folowing among people who loved music, and had several ckmedy acts/ programs, so that getting tickets to his entire appearances at a venue was common. Elder relatives loved him when i was a child, though my parents were decidedly not musical, and did not regard performing arts or other arts as having value. It appears that many youtube commenters are unfamiliar with common formal and semiformal dress when one attends performing arts concerts at such venues. Additionally, from time to time Victor did make risque' jokes and double entendres, though his wit was urbane, intelligent, passing quite stratospherically above biased complainers in such comment columns as this. I make these comments due to the commenters who attempt to use this platform to promote their private and ingroup biases. Other bits of his humor were sophisticated in the sence that you have to be musically literate to understand,, even including historical skits lampooning actual foibles of the subject, if not always historically accurate. It was his Touch. Manual skill and sense of compositions, that drew his audiences, as well as me. A pianist may make different choices than you or i on a piece, a phrase, a single note, even. But it is touch that matters, in interpretation and in , finally, skill of a performer. Some composers , i think of Chopin, experimented with expression through pieces that explored this dynamic. Frankie Liszt, already famous, recognized this in Freddie's work, learning, and improving, from the younger, shorter- lived Chopin. But Chopin himself was a highly humorous guy, often starting one of his, or improvising very passionately in whatever vein, then segueing or suddenly bursting into hilarious parody, even of himself. Victor did this , a translator between the art and its audiences, perhaps because of being more verbally articulate than most. But when you listen to the music you also gain some insight that musicians live rich inner lives. No one is less than another. We individually focus upon different things, and hinder our own understanding when we impose our misunderstandings upon others. If life were not primarily pleasurable and joyous, it would never have persisted. Some comedians, and many musicians recognize that. This in fact is Victor Borge's attraction, and his interpretations of Rachmaninoff's full dynamic dimensions and sensibilities, show his own. I've known musical and performing arts pros who mistakenly regard even their own work as mere "entertainment", which has a fuller meaning than they, or most, commonly perceived. It's from the French, meaning holding together.
Victor Borge era and the elegance he portrait is missed for our present way of life leads to decadence and ignorance whereas respect and education is not to be repeated, sad extremely sad 🙏👍🇺🇸
I saw him from the 4th row, center left, in 1992 or 1993 in the Seattle Oprah House with my best friend, who has passed too early. Victor Borga is just as missed as my friend, and they both still make me laugh!!
This guy is fantastic! I’ve just spent time watching comedy shows. Most- off- profanity. Rest - off- just not that funny. As someone else mentioned- no politics. He has always been so funny it is hard to keep from tearing! I am so sorry he’s gone . So I’m thankful for technology- we an hear it all again!!!!
Notice how clean the humor was, devoid of politics. Notice how well dressed and behaved the audience is……. We have lost so much as we supposedly become WOKE
Never get enough of him !!!
I used to play Claire Dulune- when i was teenager- was Debussy- and i loved Victor Borge - then and Now!! He's wonderful at anytime!💕💕💕
He was and is a genius with piano and comedy- anytime and everywhere!
I wish i would have been old enough to appreciate him. This is the guy that famous bugs bunny and tom and jerry piano episodes are based on. What a wonderful man he was. His preformences looked like a real treat
BRILLIANT MAN

It's beautiful how he can go from hilarious stand-up jokes, then just sit down and play Debussey... the whole atmosphere changes in seconds

Show to the young people. They do not know him.
My father met his wife. She drove a sports car.

Get Smart got ideas from this guy especially that piano playing one
This was shown in 1992, not in the late '80s
I saw him from the 4th row, center left, in 1992 or 1993 in the Seattle Oprah House with my best friend, who has passed too early. Victor Borga is just as missed as my friend, and they both still make me laugh!!
All right!
