description: If you've enjoyed the silliness that was always part of Victor Borge's concert performances, you should enjoy this fast read! The book's subtitle is: Lives of The Musical Greats, and Other Facts You Never Knew You Were Missing. You'll be treated to interesting bits of information--duly researched by Borge's co-author--about the lives and foibles of such masterful composers as Bach; Handel; Mozart; Beethoven; Berlioz; and others. Moreover, you may learn a few things about opera, since the composers under discussion each included opera among their works. This book has been on our shelves since the 70's: we went to see Mr. Borge perform one evening at Chautauqua Institute in western New York State; I had the fun of going up on stage afterward and getting this book autographed!
