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.

  • 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.

  • 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. :)

  • 3:52 watch the gal in the orchestra bending over laughing 8P

  • Man, I love this so much. The comedy is great, but I love the violinist so much as well. Bello!

  • @Israel9068 That's the first thing I thought! Were they aware at how amazing it was! :D

  • wait, were the audiences aware of it??

  • this made me smile :)

  • 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.
