The
New Victor Borge ?
In
local newspapers Conrad Askland has been billed as the "New
Victor Borge" for his solo concert piano performances.
"Their
are similarities so I understand the comparison", says Askland.
"Main differences are that my show has much more playing and
the humor is not quite so slapstick. The humor in my piano concerts
is based on improvisations of Classical music in various contemporary
styles. Where it is similiar to Victor Borge, is where I constantly
mix music history and composer facts with contemporary ideas and
music. I would say that many times my pieces are a little closer
to PDQ Bach."
