The comic concerts of the late Victor Borge , an accomplished classical pianist and droll comedian, were full of hilarity and brightness. The mischievous Dane cracked jokes, made faces, delivered parodies and spoofs, read sheet music upside-down, and fell off the piano bench -- maintaining a wacky dignity while meticulously performing works by eminent composers. Borge 's lighthearted presentations made classical music accessible to a wide range of listeners, and his non-musical word-play sketches such as 'Phonetic Punctuation' and 'Inflationary Language' have made people laugh for decades. This video presents highlights from Borge 's memorable performances. ~ Alice Duncan, All Movie Guide
