Phonetically Speaking - And Don't Forget the Piano [ORIGINAL RECORDINGS REMASTERED]
A refugee from wartime Europe, Victor Borge quickly established himself as a radio favourite through exposure on the Bing Crosby shows. He had sctually arrived in America barely speaking English, but he not only quickly learnt the language, he also used its idiosyncrasies to create classic comedy sketches like 'Phonetic Punctuation' and 'Inflationary Language', included here. In reality a highly skilled concert pianist, the piano became a musical tool in pursuit of laughter, as this wonderful in-concert performance proves. Over 76 minutes of musical and comic mayhem.
