Victor Borge dies at 91 InfoBeat - Denmark pianist Victor Borge dies at 91 GREENWICH, Conn. (AP) - Victor Borge, the daffy pianist whose whimsical approach to the classics earned him the moniker the ``clown prince'' of Denmark, died Saturday. He was 91. Borge's daughter, Rikke Borge, said her father died peacefully in his sleep at his home as the family was gathering to celebrate Christmas. He had just returned from a trip to Copenhagen, the city of his birth. For decades, Borge delighted audiences by deflating the pomposity of classical music. He fell off his bench, played music upside down and repeatedly milked laughs from such classic routines as ``phonetic punctuation'' in which he used goofy sounds to indicate commas, periods and question marks in his monologue. ``I think he brought laughter to every person he came in contact with,'' Rikke Borge said Saturday. ``He had a long and happy life.'' Borge kept up a busy career into his 80s, touring and issuing videos, including his most popular, ``The Best of Victor Borge,'' which sold some 3 million copies. His longtime agent, Bernard Gurtman, said he had had concerts booked for the next two years. ``Some people reach the point where they must try desperately to hold on to something that isn't there anymore, no matter how great they are,'' Borge said in an interview in 1986. ``This is where I am very, very lucky. We all do what we can, we all have limitations. Apparently, within my limitations, there is enough to go on and on and on and on.'' Borge performed 100 or more nights a year, sometimes as pianist and sometimes as conductor, usually as a clown but sometimes in dead earnest. In his later years, he directed Mozart's ``Magic Flute'' in Cleveland and prepared a concert version of ``Carmen.'' In 1999, he was one of five performers selected for the Kennedy Center Honors.

The Gretest Dane - VICTOR BORGE He had his piano debut in 1926 at "Odd Fellow Palæet" in Copenhagen and was recognized as a very talented musician. In 1927 he played The Tivoli - for the first time! He started his career as a classical pianist, but his talent for making the audience laugh was soon obvious, and he started developing his unique blend of humour and music. He had his revue debut in 1933 and his film debut in 1937 - as a comedian. He performed for the first time in the States in Bing Crosby's radio show in 1941. In 1942 he was pronounced "the best new radio performer of the year" by the American press, and his radio and TV shows became extremely popular. He became an American citizen in 1948, and had his own show, "Comedy in Music", at The Golden Theatre, New York 1953-56 - for the at that time record highest paycheck ever! He had performed as soloist and conductor with leading orchestras from 1956, and has performed as Opera Conductor, e.g.. Magic Flute, Cleveland Orchestra, 1979 and The Royal Danish Theatre, 1992. He established several trusts, and he received numerous honourable awards and honours. He was the patron of The Danish Royal Academy of Music Children's Choir.

30. Victor Borge victor borge (19092000) was a concert pianist and comedian in his home country, Denmark, when the Nazi s invaded in 1940. borge http://www.kcmetro.cc.mo.us/pennvalley/biology/lewis/crosby/borge.htm

Victor Borge (1909-2000) was a concert pianist and comedian in his home country, Denmark, when the Nazi's invaded in 1940. Borge, a Jew, abandoned all his worldly possessions and fled to the United States, where he got a job in 1941 doing the warmup for the Rudy Vallee radio show. Carroll Carroll, chief writer for Bing Crosby, heard Borge's warmup in Dec. 1941. Borge's act involved reading a story, including each punctuation mark, to which he assigned a sound. Carroll had Borge booked for the very next Kraft Music Hall. Carroll finishes the story: "Victor was scheduled to go on after the station break. That meant there'd be a song by Bing, the Victor Borge spot, a commercial, a song by Bing, another guest spot, a song by Bing, a commercial, theme, sign-off. "I shortened the other guest shot because I knew Victor needed time. We took a chorus out of one of Bing's songs. Victor agreed that he could do the spot in 12 minutes. That is, we thought he agreed. He spoke almost no English and only understood, if anything, what he chose to. Bing's intro said he'd seen Victor Borge warming up an audience for Rudy Vallee and anybody who's good enough to warm up a Vallee audience has got to be good enough to heat up an audience in the old Kraft Music Hall. "Victor came on and repeated the punctuation routine and got the same earthquakelike reaction. After 12 minutes he was still going. We lost a commercial. He kept right on going. We lost a Crosby song. Then we lost a guest spot and another Crosby song and another commercial and the closing theme and we went off the air with people howling and applauding Borge. A telephone call came from New York telling us to sign the guy for as long as possible." (Carroll Carroll

At 90, Borge still tickling both the 88s and his fans Ralph Blumenthal NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE Victor Borge, who learned music at his mother's knee (the family had no piano), wasn't always 90. Often he was younger. He gave his first concert at 8 "or a few minutes after." When he was about 12, he saw a Russian pianist in Copenhagen, Denmark, accidentally fall off the piano bench. That was for him, marveled young Victor (which wasn't yet his name), "such a cheap slapstick thing." He has been doing it himself almost ever since, although his doctors have recently warned him against it. So, he says, "I still don't do it." But of course he does, in every show. Borge, the long-reigning keyboard comic who lives on a 4 1/2 -acre waterfront estate in Greenwich, Conn., when he is not someplace else, has been making audiences laugh for most of the century, and the fact that he became a nonagenarian Jan. 3 seems no reason to stop. As he says in his recent book of the same name: "Smilet er den korteste afstand." In English: "A smile is the shortest distance." Meaning, between people. (This is Borge's third book and the only one that doesn't have hundreds of footnotes.) Having entertained an estimated 12 million people, and still performing about 60 shows a year, he is planning a Broadway reprise almost 45 years after establishing the Broadway record for a one-man show, 849 performances. The New York Philharmonic and leading orchestras in London, Copenhagen, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland and Los Angeles have fallen under his baton.
