Timeline

1920

Raabe developed an interest in the sound of German dance and film music of the 1920s and 1930s, such as the songs of the Comedian Harmonists, from seeing old films on television and from his parents' record collection.

He formally studied music at the Berlin University of the Arts, intending originally to become a baritone opera singer.

He and the orchestra have also created covers of modern pop songs in a 1920–1930s band style, including songs by Britney Spears, Tom Jones, and Salt'n'Pepa.

Raabe has also made a number of cameo appearances as a stereotypical 1920s and 1930s singer and entertainer in a number of films by German directors, such as Der bewegte Mann (1994; English title "Maybe, Maybe Not"), Werner Herzog's Invincible (2001), and Wenzel Storch's Die Reise ins Glück (2004).

1962

Max Raabe (born Matthias Otto, 12 December 1962) is a German jazz singer.

He is best known as the founder and leader of the Palast Orchester.

1985

He and eleven other students formed the Palast Orchester in 1985.

The ensemble initially used music arrangements that Raabe found at various flea markets.

The orchestra practised these arrangements for one year without any public engagements or performances.

1987

The orchestra first performed publicly at the 1987 Berliner Theaterball, in the lobby as a secondary act, but with such success that the audience left the ballroom to hear the orchestra's performance in the lobby.

1992

Raabe and the Palast Orchester had a hit with his 1992 original, Schlager-styled song "Kein Schwein ruft mich an" ("Nobody ever calls me", almost literal translation: "No pig calls me"), a pop song in 1920s style.

In addition to covers of vintage music, Raabe writes original songs and music, including film music.

1994

His live theatre performances have included a 1994 appearance as Dr. Siedler in the Berlin "Bar jeder Vernunft" version of The White Horse Inn, and 1999 performances as Mack the Knife in Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht's The Threepenny Opera alongside Nina Hagen.

2004

Raabe first performed in the USA in Los Angeles in 2004.

2005

In 2005, he performed his first concert in New York City's Carnegie Hall and returned for subsequent engagements with the Palast Orchester in 2007 and 2010.

2011

In 2011, Raabe produced an album, Küssen kann man nicht alleine (You cannot kiss alone), with former new-wave musician and producer Annette Humpe, who also wrote the lyrics.

2013

His latest album, also with Humpe, is Für Frauen ist das kein Problem ("It's no problem for women"), released in 2013.

In 2022, Raabe made an appearance as himself in the 1920s neo-noir series Babylon Berlin, in which he performed a single titled Ein Tag wie Gold.
