What a tremendously precious treasure we lost! Rest in peace, Victor. You brought such joy, for so many years, to so many millions!

Old composers never die, they just de-compose.

I only discovered Victor Borge one month ago. He was a fabulous and funny pianist and comedian ! What a pleasure. Unfortunately, no French subtitles.

Once upon a time, Victor Borge did some composing; now he's decomposing. ;) Don't yell at me. Judging by how self-depreciating a lot of his humour was, I think Victor Borge himself would have fallen over laughing at that one. He wasn't pretentious or obnoxious like some so-called comedians these days. I'm sorry he's dead. We've lost one of the greatest comics on Earth, as well as a great musical talent. Victor Borge could have people almost literally rolling in the aisles with laughter and he did it without having to use crude innuendo or epithet-laden language. It takes real talent to do that. RIP Victor. You are missed.

it's a pity so many people are not at that level to understand those jokes, or choose not too.

@Lity10 it might not even be schubert, considering he says hes playing a beethoven piece at one point and then plays the chopin funeral march

Not a critique, just a bit of comedy in Borge's style... although it ended up with a lovely piece in the end, not at all as "modern"-sounding as one might expect based on his build-up. He continued his brand of hilarious classical-music comedy for decades more after this, entertaining millions in concert and on TV. Viva Borge!

I dont know much about music, but this is amazing, does anyone Could give me some context or more details about what exactly is this (In what purpose what is made, was it to criticize contemporary composer ? )

@DoctorZisIN 6 жыл бұрын

Definitely. He put a medley of classic songs together and came up with a song which would win an Emmy or Oscar today. In fact this song reminds me a lot of one of Disney's classics, like "Once Upon a Dream"

@Us3rname404 Ok, thanks.. I did know that though :P Could it be one of his impromptus?
