Behind those stark facts lies the story of an
exceptional man who entertained the world for most of a happily long life,
indeed right up to his death. Borge was the youngest of five sons born to
musicians Bernhard and Frederikke Rosenbaum. His father was First Violin with
Copenhagen's Royal Theatre Symphony Orchestra but Borge choose his mother's
instrument, the piano, tinkling the keys from the age of three. He was
recognised as a child prodigy and consequently, at the age of nine, was awarded
a full scholarship to the Royal Danish Music Conservatory. At 13, he had his
professional debut.
