Victor Borge improvising on the piano

Back



Victor has just finished conducting at one of his 80th birthday concerts and the crowd reaction was so good that the violinist, Anton Kontra, suggests an encore. No encore was planned but Monti's Czardas, which Victor had heard before BUT HAD NEVER PLAYED, is suggested. Nevertheless, the two go at it and put on quite a show. Watch Victor's facial expressions in the 2nd half as his partner escalates the action.

Why is the comment above rated bad? It's true what albatross111 says.. I have to say this is one of the coolest thing I've seen Victor Borge do! Simply amazing! The facial expressien he have when the key changes is simply priceless!

Denmark is beautiful, like all countries to the in the north of Europe. Sweden is nicer, though!
