Victor Borge Tribute - Tim Carman Article I propose an unlikely candidate victor borge. The pianist, conductor and comedianis a clown prince among men. As he approaches his 90th birthday, borge, http://www.kor.dk/borge/b-bio-2.htm
Extractions: A champion of classical music for more than 70 years, comedian Victor Borge has become a timeless work himself By Tim Carman , from the Houston Sidewalk Victor Borge At any minute, at any time of day, you can turn on your television, log onto the Internet or pick up a magazine and learn something wicked about someone. President Clinton with a cigar in the Oval Office? Yep, it's true. Marilyn Manson with a pocket knife in Los Angeles? What a self-mutilating cutup! Charles Barkley with a drunk bar patron in Orlando? Yes, Sir. Who among us is left to admire? I propose an unlikely candidate: Victor Borge. The pianist, conductor and comedian is a clown prince among men. As he approaches his 90th birthday, Borge, who performs Saturday, Oct 17, at the Grand 1894 Opera House in Galveston, is a paragon of the virtues we pretend to hold dear: He's highly educated in the classics (aside from his usual gig, he conducts symphonies around the world), he's a family man (he and his longtime wife, Sanna, have five children and nine grandchildren), he's generous (he has hosted countless fund-raisers), modest (he once said, "I think my greatest accomplishment is that I can make people happy"), creative (his entire act ought to be enshrined in the Smithsonian and probably will be one day) and, of course, funny. The latter category includes so many classic bits that it would take more room than we have on the entire Sidewalk site to catalog them. But let me indulge in a couple of personal favorites:
HotAIR - Working With Victor Borge victor borge died on December 23, 2000, a few days before his 92nd (or, The great pianist Leonid Hambro collaborated on stage with borge for a decade, http://www.improbable.com/airchives/paperair/volume7/v7i1/hambro-borge-7-1.html
Extractions: Leonid Hambro Victor Borge died on December 23, 2000, a few days before his 92nd (or, according to some, 91st) birthday. The great pianist Leonid Hambro collaborated on stage with Borge for a decade , touring the world and doing a long run on Broadway. Prior to that, Hambro was principal pianist for the New York Philharmonic Orchestra , and also had a busy schedule doing radio concerts on WQXR in New York and recording albums. We asked him how the collaboration came about. Victor Borge was making recordings here in New York. After it finished, he was talking to the producer of the records, who was a friend of mine. Howard Scott was his name. And he said, "Howard, you know, I've been doing this show all by myself on stage, and I have a lot of funny ideas that I could do with another pianist, but it has to be a pianist who's absolutely first class. He has to be able to improvise. He has to have a sense of humor. And he has to have a good stage presence." So Howard said, "I know exactly the right person for you. He's terrific. But don't bother, because he's the busiest pianist in New York. There's no way he could go with you."
HotAIR - Four Cheers Five Victor Borge Born in Copenhagen to a family of musicians, borge became a fine pianist and Many years ago, victor borge created the game of inflationary language. http://www.improbable.com/airchives/paperair/volume7/v7i1/lederer-borge-7-1.html
Extractions: Richard Lederer The Comedian of the Keyboard, also known as The Unmelancholy Dane, exited the earthly stage this past December 23. Victor Borge Borge left the world a triple legacy. Born in Copenhagen to a family of musicians, Borge became a fine pianist and conductor. Too, he was that rare comedian who never used foul language and never made fun of anyone. "The smile is the shortest distance between two people," he observed. Most astonishingly, he became a genius in his second language English, which he learned by spending day after day in movie theaters. Many years ago, Victor Borge created the game of inflationary language. Since prices keep going up, he reasoned, why shouldn't language go up too? In English, there are words that contain the sounds of numbers, such as "wonder" (one), "before" (four) and "decorate" (eight). If we inflate each sound by one number, we come up with a string of puns "twoder," "befive" and "decornine." Here is a story based on Borge's idea. This tale invites you to read and hear inflationary language in all its inflated wonder oops, make that "twoder" and to remember the linguistically pyrotechnic genius of The Clown Prince of Denmark.

Concert Review: Victor Borge: A Classic Classical Comedian victor borge plays the piano, and in fact is quite an accomplished musician,having performed in the past as a concert pianist. On this occasion, however, http://www.teenink.com/Past/1992/2203.html
Extractions: At age 82, Victor Borge is one of the oldest comedians still performing, and yet his humor remains fresh, clean and extremely entertaining. His recent performance at Symphony Hall made all that perfectly clear. Borge's proficiency at keeping an audience on the edge of their seats, with his improvisational style and calm control, is a remarkable tribute to his wit and intellect. Entertaining an audience ranging from 2 to 82 years of age, Borge maintained a level of fun suitable for the young-at-heart of every age. He joked about love, sex, animals, food, old age, youth, and almost every other subject imaginable. One particular subject of humor separates Mr. Borge from other everyday comedians, however. Victor Borge plays the piano, and in fact is quite an accomplished musician, having performed in the past as a concert pianist. On this occasion, however, Mr. Borge took his knowledge of the keyboard and applied it to his knowledge of the funny-bone, and brought the crowd to a roaring ovation. He performed charming improvisational compositions, which were constantly interrupted by slapstick antics, such as falling off the piano bench and having his left hand wander off - while his right hand worked full pace at a challenging composition of an entirely different nature - in order to play a silly rendition of "Happy Birthday." At times Mr. Borge seemed half his age as he dashed about the stage during his slapstick routines, and one almost forgot that he wasn't. n
