Max Raabe & Palast Orchester October 14, 2008

Max Raabe's art lies in revealing ambiguity, universal power and complexity of a repertoire focused on German chansons of the Weimar Republic Era and American standards.

A singer of incredible range, Raabe has a singular ability to capture the cunning rasp of the cabaret singer, the carefree timbre of early jazz, and the falsetto of ragtime, all backed by his stellar 12-member band.
