highlights from local critics reviews - (click link at bottom of each review to read complete review)
"Spending an evening with Max Raabe and the Palast Orchester is like taking a journey to the past. Last week, Max and the 12-piece orchestra transported the audience at Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts back to 1920s Germany, to the period known as the Weimar era. The precise vocal delivery of Raabe and the amazing musical abilities of the Palast Orchester created a refreshing and unique musical experience full of theatrical touches, elegance and a huge amount of joy.
Raabe and the Palast Orchester specialize in recreating the sound and atmosphere of 1920s and '30s Berlin. Dressed in a crisp tuxedo with his hair slicked back, Raabe evokes the style and sophistication of Fred Astaire. His clear, falsetto-like voice is reminiscent of Rudy Vallee, and his sly, biting wit and comic delivery are similar to that of Noël Coward. Add in the charming and succinct musical abilities of Cole Porter and a German accent, and you have Max Raabe.." -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
