Max Raabe – Live in Berlin

Funny, sexy, soulful, and cool – the music of the 1920s and 30s helped the decades roar and they remain just as charming today. Few have been as committed to and successful with the German music of that time as Max Raabe, who along with his Palast Orchester makes these century-old songs sound as fresh and as lively as they did when first performed. Raabe’s irresistible trademarks are a seductive voice, a meaningfully understated facial expression, the impressively rolled Rs, and virtuoso whistling interludes. In this 2006 concert, the stage blazes with the sounds of brass and strings, thrilling the audience with international classics and musical rarities in the sold-out Waldbühne in Berlin.
