Victor does the smart thing and lets the violin be the star of this performance. His improvisation is just the bed on which the violin is built. Just amazing.
@TheUberOmfg12333 If you have a discerning ear, there were four very tiny mistakes as his fingers hit four double keys throughout the 2nd and third movements. This was an improv, but God masters are masters.
@waitingformypopcorn That's a refreshing and honest admission. These things happen. Thanks for stating it; I'd like to think all 'dislikes' are made similarly - especially for this clip..
Have been introducing my elementary school students to Victor Borge. They ask every week to see a new video of him because he's "so awesome." Makes my heart warm. :)
Incredible, for sure a piece that's been performed 'on the spot'. Very cool how the 'mistakes' evolve like it's supposed to be played that way. That's only to be learned in experience of years and years. Great musicians, incredible performing.
improvising to those that don't know what the word means is.....IT'S ALL MADE UP AT THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT.....Victor just through it all together with
no practice......amazing man. I'm sure he asked "what keys are we playing in?"
That's all you really need to know. The man is a genius.
Victor Borge may be one of the coolest musicians to come along, his style is inimitable and his talent is refined and raw at the same time. He reads the audience and makes his music work for him and with him! The Master at play!!
Yeah I think it was truely improvised. Almost anyone can play the piano and up to a high standard too, but few are MASTERS of the instrument. I believe Victor Borge was a master of the piano.
@Otacon, (to revive an old subtext), I like to think of the difference between playing an instrument and making music. One can have virtuoso-level mastery of an instrument, and never acquire a tenth of the soul of the relatively sloppy Rubinstein. But I'd rather listen to Arthur. And this piece was packed chock full of sheer joy
@Chuck: I don't think they ran through it before: their discussion looked too much like the ones I've had discussing how to tackle a piece familiar but unplayed (a recent gig I played detoured from the blues to soul: I'd never considered playing Superstition from S. Wonder on steel, but the band didn't believe I'd never even attempted it). This makes me wonder if he'd ever ventured into jazz
Admittedly, I don't come from the classical world (my main instrument didn't exist til 1956), and don't know the piece. But as the piano mainly provides rhythm and "fills" (or at a couple points they were trading twos), I see no reason to doubt the claim. Both cats had the expression of jazzmen delighting in a jam going well.
Definitely was techical mastery, no doubt about that. I never said Mr. Borge "lied", i think he just stretched the truth a tad, meaning he probably heard the song hundreds of times, and maybe ran through "parts of the song", knowing at what poing the appropriate changes would be made. Both fantastic musicians. Good Luck to King at college
@Chuck88keys As a classical musician, I would tend to agree wholeheartedly with you, but I can also agree with KingSn0man as well. However, I would be willing to bet these guys are familiar with each others style as well as they probably have worked together at least once before. Did you notice how often Mr. Kontra threw off Mr. Borge? The thing that makes it truly amazing is that this is just a session of goofing off, and they exhibit extreme control and technical mastery throughout it all.
And you have how many years in playing keyboards "professionally"? Anything is possible, like i said before, but i'd still BET they ran thru it at least once before the performance "Guaranteed" Musicians normally do that, especially if they haven't worked together before, or if it's just to be sure to get the right "changes" when they occur. Yeah, it's July 2, and is it "possible" that it might snow tomorrow? of course. ( i hope not )
@Chuck88keys I definitely agree with YoungTrumpeteer. There are plenty of things suggesting that they did not play this piece perfectly in sync with each other. But I don't think Borge would lie about not having planned an encore and doing this act "spontaneously." And you are correct in assuming that I have not played professionally, however this Fall I will be majoring in college as a piano performance. (Although I also hope that it doesn't snow either)
Anythig is possible i guess We all know he had perfect-pitch ear One thing i will say they "had" to have a discussion about the piece prior to playing it, but not very much We do know that the program was "planned" They could have done a 5-minute practise session before the show........and i think they did Still, it was enjoyable
@Chuck88keys I'm not sure how much you know about actually playing classical music, but with a strong background of music theory, its entirely possible to do something like this as long as he is familiar with how the piece goes and what key signature it is in. Also he has had 78 years of practice at that point so it is completely plausible that this was, in fact, his first time playing it.
Do you believe everything you hear? I just watched/listened to the video again I suppose i could agree that even though he may have not EVER played it, he is very familiar with the song to the point while he did a decent little intro and was right-on beat with the violinist.. Again, that's what he said. Believe it if you want to
@Chuck88keys I think you underestimate Mr Borge`s knowledge off all types of usic and have you considerd that he just might have a good ear and can improvise with anything he hears ?
Whoever said Borge played Czardas with this violinist without ever playing this song first is dead "wrong" He knew what to do and when to do it. In order to do that, you have to know the song, or lie back a bit and play follow the leader with the violinist. I've played the song many times ( it's an easy one in D Minor ) Trust me, Victor knew it well.
my point was to clarify to people that did NOT know he was a child prodigy. Just because YOU said he was a Master on the piano does NOT necessarily make him a child prodigy. Some people learn to play when at a later age. Understand now?
I agree with you all. Victor Borge was a true master pianist. Definitely one-of-a-kind. :) Here's a side bit of trivia: Did you know that the "timid page turner" was Victor's son Ronald? :)
The true gift of Victor Borge was his "ear" for music, coupled with an understanding of how the piano could be used for any purpose. Absolutely amazing.
A-FRIKKIN-MAZING... I have got the largest grin on my face, this is sheer brilliance Mr Victor Borge was and for ever shall be a GENIUS of the first order... FABULOUS :0)x
The days of that type of aristocratic insouciant savoir faire are numbered. We are losing that old world and those brilliant people, and who is there to take their place??
The progression of this video is what makes you truly appreciate the talent that Victor had, not just for piano but for performing in general. The video starts with Anton as the focus. Buy 2 minutes, Victor has the crowd's full attention. By 3:44 theres no doubting who the star is. Raw talent is one thing - what separates Victor is showmanship. Truly one of a kind.
@danielcraig4ever I think many of them have an extraordinary work ethic. Talent is actually not rare. But talent combined with excellent training and very hard work IS rare.
woooonnderfuuuulll!!!!!!!!!!! makes me laugh without words, that's what music is able to, here is the best proof=)=) thank u for posting, just great=)
@t720745 Actually I understand it now. Musicians plays instruments in a systematic way and produce songs. Victor Borge represents the song itself. He has not played this piece ever, but it seems he knows the song inside out. He then is not a musician playing the piano off muscle memory and recalling his sheet music. He is one with the song.....
Oh he´s my all time favourite piano player. So funny and great at improvising. I´ve seen him perform once in the 60´s in Sweden. He was just marvellous! This one must be playlisted straight away!
This is two professionals at such a high level that they can screw around with a very tough piece and make it something to remember for decades to come.
This is a masterpiece in its own rite... both in a comedic way, but also a display of some of the best in their instruments.
very very well done.

It must be staying active and filled with beauty that keeps musicians doing so well at fairly advanced ages!

This is two professionals at such a high level that they can screw around with a very tough piece and make it something to remember for decades to come.
This is a masterpiece in its own rite... both in a comedic way, but also a display of some of the best in their instruments.
