Victor Borge - Debussy's "Clair de Lune"
Loading...
Uploaded by thepolonaise on Dec 2, 2006
Heres a more serious Victor Borge playing Claude Debussy's "Clair de Lune," from Suite bergamasque. This isn't the original composition, he seems to add a few notes here and there, maybe for resonance or added harmony.. who knows. Either way, its Victor Borge, one of the 20th Centuries few true piano geniuses.
this piece was composed in 1890.
(forgive the quality, the video is old and he's playing a Bosendorfer (zing)) :D

I can not believe it. This was at the Fox Theater in Detroit, my hometown. It's one of the most beautiful theaters in the country; I can only imagine the experience on a night like this. It's so sad that I was born in so much later than what would have allowed me to see this live. Must've been nice.

@idaidaida23 *sigh* it's not that they are impolite - as we get older - we cannot hear the higher frequencies - therefore - the music "has" stopped - at least what they can hear - had a friend's father who flew B-29's in WWII - after age 65 he could not hear a flute or piccolo - but acted like he could - all the best

@abey111 I had the privilege of seeing him play this live in an amphitheater shortly before he died. The sun was setting over the mountains, and this music was floating in the air, and I had tears in my eyes. Video does little to convey the emotion he felt when playing this piece...or the emotions of those around him.
