Max Raabe & Palast Orchester - Fahrrad fahr'n


Max Raabe, born 1962 in Lünen, has always sung - in the youth choir and on his bicycle. Max Raabe moved to Berlin in his early twenties to study opera. He financed his studies with small performances and in 1986 he founded the Palast Orchester with some fellow students.

Max Raabe´s commitment to the remembrance of 20s/30s music has received various awards. In particular, he was presented with the ECHO Classic in 2000 for his interpretation of “Mack the Knife”, the Paul-Lincke-Ring of the City of Goslar in 2005, the cultural prize of his hometown Lünen in 2007, and 2012 the Order of Merit of the State of Berlin. In summer 2017 Max Raabe teamed up with "pop specialists" Annette Humpe, Christoph Israel, Peter Plate, Ulf Leo Sommer, Daniel Faust and Achim Hagemann. Together they wrote the album (literally "sleeping through the perfect moment"). The album was released in late 2017.

Since then Max Raabe is on tour with a program of the same title, made up of a mixture of songs from the album and original 20s arrangements. In addition, two singles have been extracted and turned into successful music videos. In August 2018 “Der perfekte Moment .. wird heut verpennt” reached Goldstatus. From the same album, "Der perfekte Moment .. wird heut verpennt” Max Raabe and the Palast Orchester present their feel-good video "Fahrrad fahr'n" with colorful drawings by Alex Gellner.
