Description
Walking a narrow line between sublime musicality and madcap kitsch, German vocalist Max Raabe is a conservatory-trained baritone besotted with the Weimar-era sound. A sight to behold, Raabe and his big band, decked out in tails, deliver impeccable hits from the 1920s and early ’30s—but aren’t above tweaking modern tunes in a retro style. Fresh off a sold-out Carnegie Hall concert, this inimitable band offers a delightful and devilishly catchy night of cabaret. Raabe and company evoke Weimar-era Berlin, a time of intense creative ferment that gave birth to the modern age.
