Victor Borge - Music For Your Funny Bone. The evening I spent captivated by victor borge, as he performed in front of apacked house in victors solo career as a pianist began in his midteens. http://solohq.com/Articles/Winefield/Victor_Borge_-_Music_for_your_Funny_Bone.sh
Extractions: The evening I spent captivated by Victor Borge, as he performed in front of a packed house in Hamilton's Founders Theatre, is one of the highlights of my life. At one point Victor attempted to play his finely polished Steinway but kept falling from his piano bench (Victor was 80-odd when I saw him). Exasperated, he opened the lid of the bench, pulled out a seat belt, and buckled himself in. Thus secured, he completed the excerpt by Brahms and then stood to accept the rapturous applause with a bow. As he bowed the little concert hall filled with laughter, for the piano bench was still attached to his backside. For one-and-a-half magnificent hours, this Prince of comics made me laugh so much I was physically exhausted by the time he took his final bow. He accomplished this feat by combining physical and verbal comedy with a musical talent that has allowed him to excel as both a soloist and conductor. This is my tribute to the most hilarious, intelligent and gracious gent I have ever had the pleasure to see. Victor was born Børge Rosenbaum, in Copenhagen in 1909. His father was a musician in the Royal Danish Chapel. Trained by the Royal Danish Academy of Music, Victors solo career as a pianist began in his mid-teens. Certainly, his musical talent was obvious but soon his talent for making people laugh began to shine through. Blending classical music and comedy, he became a wildly popular in Denmark. Victor debuted as a musician/comedian in 1930 and by 1933 had starred in four films.

Back to index Celebrating Borge: Rainer Hersch, pictured with his dog Ted, sprinkles his own jokes about the world of classical music into a show in tribute to the popular musical comedian Victor Borge By Alex Kasriel Being Victor Borge Saturday, 8pm "She's my pension and I'm her lottery ticket." Rainer Hersch is talking about his wife's job in marketing and his in comedy. And he could well have the winning ticket with a play about the lives of the comedy pianist Victor Borge, and himself. Like Borge, Rainer Hersch is a musician. His gags are not about sex and toilets but the intricate art of classical music. In his hilarious routine, which involves playing the piano with pre-prepared chord sticks, he dissects classical music. From gags about where you are supposed to clap, to the predictable phrase endings of Bach and Mozart, Rainer has been striking a chord (ahem) with classical music fans at the Edinburgh festival and beyond since 1996. In his All Classical Music Explained series, he plays the piano and is sometimes accompanied by a full orchestra. In fact, it was at the Edinburgh Festival that he met his wife, Connie, while leafleting for the show.

J. - Performers To Reveal Serious Side Of Victor Borge At Shoah Event victor borge s onstage antics included selftangling sheet music, Born BørgeRosenbaum in Copenhagen, the Jewish pianist-comedian who had dared to http://www.jewishsf.com/content/2-0-/module/displaystory/story_id/17992/edition_
Extractions: Bulletin Staff Victor Borge's onstage antics included self-tangling sheet music, impromptu appearances from dogs and insects, more pratfalls than a Three Stooges marathon and upside-down piano playing (the sheet music, not Victor). Yet "The Great Dane" possessed a more serious side. Born Børge Rosenbaum in Copenhagen, the Jewish pianist-comedian who had dared to lampoon Hitler on stage was forced to flee his native country in 1937. In his later years, the legendary performer penned a speech about the Danes' heroic efforts in saving roughly 95 percent of the nation's Jews. Borge's speech has been converted into "The Legend," a short, musical play that is vintage Borge minus the pratfalls. "It's very much in Victor Borge's style, not that there's falling on the floor or playing a crazy piano. But he played a lot with words," said Danish-born actress and musician Ditte Hofman, who has been performing "The Legend" for several years, along with violinist Heide-Marie Goertzen. The two will present the 20-minute musical soliloquy Monday evening at Berkeley's Congregation Beth El as part of the congregation's Yom HaShoah observance. Admission is free.

"That's why I've never thought of retiring because I do it all the time whether on the stage or off. I found that in a precarious situation, a smile is the shortest distance between people. When one needs to reach out for sympathy or a link with people, what better way is there?"
The New Victor Borge? This new concert pianist has been compared to victor borge and Liberace. The New victor borge ? In local newspapers Conrad Askland has been billed as http://www.conradaskland.com/victor_borge.html
Extractions: Music Web Sites Home In local newspapers Conrad Askland has been billed as the "New Victor Borge" for his solo concert piano performances. "Their are similarities so I understand the comparison", says Askland. "Main differences are that my show has much more playing and the humor is not quite so slapstick. The humor in my piano concerts is based on improvisations of Classical music in various contemporary styles. Where it is similiar to Victor Borge, is where I constantly mix music history and composer facts with contemporary ideas and music. I would say that many times my pieces are a little closer to PDQ Bach."
