Victor Borge Playing Happy Birthday

[jdaesaorn2012]

i'm assuming that he put together a whole bunch of bernstein's motives, but what was the one at 2:51 from?

[marthafan1]

@jdaesaorn2012 That part is from Wagner's opera "Tristan & Isolde" (in fact Isolde's last aria, called "Isolde's Liebestod"). Wagner's Tannhäuser ouverture is also quoted numerous times.

I know Boka110 , I happens also to be Danish like Victor Borge , But my point is that those men where Geniuses and my Heros , and are greatly missed

[boka110]

@Dionysosable I agree with you that those geniuses are really missed all over the world. I love his performances. So classy and high level.

[Dionysosable]

Hilarious : ) A genius playing happy birthday for another Genius , as only he can do it !! Long Live Both Victor Borge & Leonard Bernstein.

[boka110]

@Dionysosable I agree both are genius but I must disappoint you that Victor Borge has passed away in 2000. :(
