Max Raabe and his 12-piece Palast Orchester are re-creating the music of the Weimar era with verve and class. (Time Out New York) • • The uber-suave Max Raabe and his sophisticated Palast Orchester bring the elegant high style and musical glory of the '20s and '30s for which this urbane group is beloved. The debonair Raabe has a singular ability to capture the cunning rasp of the cabaret singer, the confident bel canto hero, the oily melodiousness of the revue beau, the carefree timbre of early jazz, and the falsetto of ragtime, all backed by his stellar 12-member band. His art lies in revealing the enigmatic intelligence, ambiguity, musical power and complexity of the German chansons from the turbulent Weimar Republic — and then shaking it up with a completely unexpected cover from the contemporary pop realm. In his amazing performances -- which are simply fun on every level -- 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. Raabe and his orchestra perform tunes from its fabulous new album, One Cannot Kiss Alone, which will be released on Tuesday, February 21. • • The program will be performed in both English and German. • • Tickets: http://tickets.ums.org
