I discovered Max Raabe about ten years ago. Within the hour of discovering him - on TH-cam coincidently - I bought two albums, two DVDs and tickets to see him live; I’ve seen him three times since. I bought my mother tickets to see him - last concert she ever went to - and she said it was the greatest concert she ever went to; and my mother saw Sinatra in concert.
Indeed! I just discovered Max Raabe by virtue of a NPR Weekend Edition interview, and learned that he is touring the United States soon. Transfixed & enraptured!
I saw them when they came to Santa Barbara, California, a few years back.It was magic, and it continues to be, a flawless performance, a nostalgic tour de force that harks back to a romantic, elegant, if brief time in the twentieth century. Thank you for keeping this sound alive.
Sain nauttia tästä kappaleesta livenä 6.10.2018 Turussa (in Finland). Se oli konsertin viimeinen kappale. En ole koskaan aiemmin ollut tilaisuudessa, jossa yleisö olisi kuunnellut esitystä niin hiirenhiljaa! Eikä ihme, se oli viimeistä piirtoa myöten täydellinen. Yleisö tiesi, mitä sai. Kiitokset! I have enjoyed this song 6.10.2018 in Turku, Finland; the very last song of the concert. It was the first time I recognize the total silence of the public. Everyone wanted have the maximum pleasure of this magnific music. Thanks! Vielen Danke Max!
My daughter and her boyfriend went to see them last month at the Met in New York, her boyfriend's uncle plays the tuba and the bass in the orchestra. He's playing the bass in this video.
Wundervolle Musik ......... vom Feinsten und genau so gespielt von wirklichen Profis + einer ebenso hochqualitativen Dame UNS liebevoll gesungen von Herrn Max
The arrangement, performance and video of this song is just perfect. The glockenspiel and violin solos in the intro, along with the toy Zeppelin, played by a German band, make me ache for the shattered hopes and dreams of the 20's and 30''s and the tragic loss of life in the 1937 Hindenburg disaster. The rest of band's performance is perfect as well. Herr Raabe himself is a bit too affected for my taste, but in this video, he doesn't overdo it too much. This is my favorite version of this song.
Flawless and so refreshing to hear it so beautifully done. My grandmother once said when Cass Elliott made this a hit, "silly, nothing new about this. It was a great favorite in my day!" And so it was.
I saw this show on the Public Broadcasting station here in the US, and it was an absolute marvel. Max had some of the most hilarious things to say during the breaks, all delivered in his trademark deadpan style of course. Break a leg to see his show live, should you ever get the chance !
When I first heard Max Raabe on radio Dismuke singing "An einem Tag im Frügling", I thought that he was another singer from 1930-1940s His singing and the orchestra were so spot on!
Outstanding quality i.e. Max Raabe and Palast Orchestra like!!!! AND the director of photography/tv was????? The famous Michael Ballhaus .......... who was DOP in Scorsese, Petersen, Coppola, Fassbinder and and and films. In other words: optical and acoustical QUALITY .......... better than best
formidable orchestre et chanteur...malheureusement jamais je ne les verrai sur scène car la Belgique ne semble pas être reprise dans leurs itinéraires et je ne puis quasi plus marcher à 87 ans...je le regrette et essaie de me contenter des vidéos que je reprends sur You tube...je leur souhaite à tous tout le succès possible et partout car ils le méritent amplement et je ne me lasse pas de les voir et écouter sur mon ordinateur et ce pendant des heures...bonnes fêtes à tous...viviane vancamberg
The remote controlled zeppelin is a reference to a commercial of the clothing retailer C&A that ran a TV commercial spot in the early 1990s repopularizing the Mama Cass version of this song, featuring historic zeppelin pictures nicely integrated in the sky behind a lighthouse at the beach, the whole with a yellowish/sepia retro tinge. Max Raabe brings it to a whole extra class and the unorthodox instrumentation certainly adds to it!

I just saw him live in NY. Excellent performance, will be playing his recordings a lot from now on
❤
The most beautiful version of this song I have ever heard and pure classy.
Damn 8 years ago
The best 30's dance band orchestra in existence.
Well, at least since the 30's.
So weary of the noise that passes for music today. Thankfully, there is this magnificent orchestra and Max Raabe.
🥰🥰🥰 wenn ich einmal groß bin (räusper- 35- und der Wahnsinn endlich ein Ende hat)... Möchte ich ganz genau das........ Live sehen!!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I love the old music from 1900-1950. Ragtime, jazz and big band. Mister Raabe & Company have nailed this spot on perfect.
Yep same here.
Me too. I love music from this time. It's so elegant and fancy... ^^
And, this guy sings in, at least three languages, and all very well! He captures music from the 20's and 30's beautifully.
Какой прекрасный голос!!
Как музыка.❤
One of the most beautiful arrangements of any song I have ever heard. You will never hear a better one.
RIP Vincent Riewe (Drums) who passed away 21/3/2017 aged 57
Seem percussionist is more accurate. He seemed to being having fun in the spotlight here.
That violin playing ripped my heart open
Absolutely CHARMING!

I always liked Max's Music! Just a touch of Class!
Phantastisch wie immer!!!!
What a melodious, elegant version of this song I have loved my whole life....from when the song was written. Thank you for posting.

...das freut mich, dass Herr Raabe in Finnland geschätzt wird! 🇫🇮
This song by Raabe is very, very special to me! Thank you Lord!
Das ist so tiefenentspannend da zuzuhören. Erinnert mich an die alten Zeiten, die ich nie erlebt habe
sehr schön geschrieben

Big fan of max raabe and palast orch. Great job
What an absolute privilege to be able to watch and listen to this performance. Fantastic! Victor from Australia.
Amazing. Like being in a Berlin nightclub in the 20's.
Fell in love when I first heard this in Hong Kong ❤❤
Fan since years! Love from Vienna, austria!
Merci pour ce moment de bonheur. Longue vie à Max Raabe.
Beautiful in so many ways! Chapeau!!
This is so good it hurts. I've never seen a dirigible in an auditorium.
Волшебная музыка, виртуозное исполнение. Браво, Макс Раабе&...!!!
Wow! This is nice...I was suggested to listen and I'm glad I did.
Wundervolle Musik ......... vom Feinsten
und
genau so gespielt von wirklichen Profis + einer ebenso hochqualitativen Dame UNS liebevoll gesungen von Herrn Max
Now, THAT's music
Milo Sheffts Agreed!

Simply Irresistible
THE BEST BAND TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE BEST SONG OF ALL TIME (right alongisde Gershwin's Symphony in Blue) recorded by my favorite ensemble of all time.
Flawless and so refreshing to hear it so beautifully done. My grandmother once said when Cass Elliott made this a hit, "silly, nothing new about this. It was a great favorite in my day!" And so it was.
Flew to Scottsdale just for his concert, it was absolutely wonderful music! I can hear it all the time, just wunderbar! thanks !

First heard Max Raabe on PBS a few years ago and now regularly listen via You Tube.
Saw him and the Palast Orchestra tonight at Strathmore and they were wunderbar.
Preciosa canción y el sr Raabe un genio de la canción.
Ovo je prava muzika!
Love this song - love Max Raabe - and love the Palast Orchestra.
*Orchester Not Orchestra..
Pure art!
Just love that song and max did a great job!
Outstanding quality i.e. Max Raabe and Palast Orchestra like!!!!
AND the director of photography/tv was?????
The famous Michael Ballhaus .......... who was DOP in Scorsese, Petersen, Coppola, Fassbinder and and and films.
In other words: optical and acoustical QUALITY .......... better than best
*Palast Orchester Not Orchestra...

As another commenter once said long ago, "It's the zeppelin that really makes this song".
Elegancia e bom gosto. Obrigado

If this video is edited to resemble an old black and white film, absolutely nothing needs to be changed for the audio.
Lovelly!!!❤❤❤❤
They usually do perfect renditions, not only of old beauties, but the original versions’ arrangements; whichever version was recorded first.
