Max Raabe captures this timeless music with precision, urgency and irony. A singer of incredible range, he has a singular ability to capture the cunning rasp of the cabaret singer, the confident belcanto hero, the oily melodiousness of the revue beau, the carefree timbre of early jazz, as well as the falsetto of ragtime, all backed by his stellar 12-member band, many of whom have been with him from the beginning. Max Raabe’s art lies in revealing the enigmatic intelligence, ambiguity, musical power and complexity of the “German chansons” from the turbulent Weimar Republic. In his amazing performances he keenly reminds us that between melancholy and irony, rebellion and resignation, elegy and slapstick there is often only half a measure, sometimes just a single note, or a mere word.
The repertoire of the Palast Orchester encompasses more than 500 songs including classics such as “I’ll Kiss Your Hand, Dear Lady”, "Cheek to Cheek", "Over My Shoulder" and "You're the Cream in My Coffee" as well as more American and mostly German standards from that era such as “Ninon”, “Salomé”, “Irgendwo Auf Der Welt” and new stylistic adaptations of contemporary songs and original tunes such as his breakthrough hit “No one Ever Calls, No one Has a Care for Me.”
