Slick, nostalgic and unmistakably modern, Berlin-based Max Raabe & Palast Orchester channels the high style and musical glory of 20s and 30s Weimar big band with uncanny precision, drama and humor. This video goes behind the scenes of their current hit tour, "Tonight or Never."

  • He certainly has a charming accent to American ears, whether talking or singing. It is surely a part of his allure, along with the tuxedoes, the '20s-style instrumentation, and of course these grand old songs presented as composed for dance orchestras in that bygone era.

  • He is playing Carnegie Hall again in March of 2010. I have tickets!!

  • @saintlennon9

    The song is "Heute nacht oder nie" which was the name of the programme recorded at Carnegie Hall. Search YouTube for that name.

  • check out the hot violinist lol

  • @saintlennon9 heute nacht oder nie i think

  • Can anyone tell me the name of the song at 1:16? Thanks

  • If Max Raabe objects to the word 'nostalgic', explain then why you've used it in your description? ;-)

  • @Patchouly2 genau geniessen und erfreuen das es so jemanden noch gibt ,bin jahrgang 68 und ich liebe das

  • einfach unbeschreiblich!! Besser gehts nicht !! Jeder einzelne Musiker ist ein Perfektionist an seinem Instrument (die meisten beherrschen sogar mehrere Instrumente),solchen Stil und Eleganz,Max Raabes unvergleichbare Mimik und Timbre und die bezaubernde Cecilia-in Ihrem roten Kleid so anmutig und wunderschön-eine wahre Göttin !!

    Ich hoffe das Palastorchester bleibt uns noch lange erhalten,denn etwas Vergleichbares gibt es nicht... !!!

  • @itsareligionofpeace Noam Chomsky stated (I paraphrase loosely) that the Weimarer Republic was the peak of western civilization, culturally (music, fine arts) and technologically. Like Rome, such greatness DEMANDS a fall into the pits, and it came. I see you insist on only seeing the 'brown' side of things.

  • Thank you for recapturing the style and elegance of the 20's & 30's.

    Congratulations, and thank you for uploading this video.

  • Thumbs up for misbehaving in a tuxedo!
