Victor Borge (January 3, 1909 – December 23, 2000) was a Jewish humorist, entertainer and world-class pianist affectionately known as the Clown Prince of Denmark and the Great Dane. He was born in Copenhagen, Denmark as Børge Rosenbaum and died in Greenwich, Connecticut, USA.
Biography
His parents, Bernhard and Frederikke Rosenbaum, were both musicians (Bernhard played violin in the Royal Danish Chapel, and Frederikke played piano). Børge took up piano like his mother at the age of 3, and it was soon realized that he was a child prodigy. He gave his first piano recital when he was 8 years old, and was awarded a full scholarship at the Royal Danish Music Conservatory in 1918, studying under Olivo Krause. Later on, he was taught by Victor Schiøler, Frederic Lamond, and Egon Petri. More on [ Victor Borge ]
