On 29 on 03.30.2012 and the Philharmonic presents the Gasteig in Munich two very special concert evenings, as the baritone singer Max Raabe and the Palast Orchester say: "kissing may not be alone." This is not just the name of the upcoming tour of Germany, but also the current Max Raabe albums (and one of the songs from that album), which he recorded together with the German pop singer and music producer Annette Humphrey. You have to imagine it this way: One day in late 2008, calls to Annette Humphrey with Max Raabe. The two have known each other at that time not so long, a few months. Annette says she recently had a song line occurred to a great song line, so good, and yet so true, so, one wonders, that yet no one has come out. The line is: "you can not kiss myself". But it sounds like a song title from the 20s. But it sounds like - Max Raabe!
The album was produced by Annette Humphrey and she has co-written with Max Raabe all the songs. For 25 years, makes Max Raabe music, and he certainly has already composed a few songs himself, as the great success of "Do not call me pig," but never a whole plate. In this respect, "you can not kiss myself" a first. A third artist was also involved in this project, namely the long-time Max Raabe pianist Christoph Israel, which is also active as an arranger of the Palast Orchester.
Annette Humphrey became famous with "ideal", New German Wave, with I + I was, so to speak a second time and has seen the famous autumn of their careers. As a producer, she has collected, among other things DÖF, Rio Reiser, Udo Lindenberg experiences. If someone sings in German, and has a distinctive style, then this is clearly a case for Annette Humphrey. With Max Raabe connects the common sense of irony, for sensitive nuances, and a world view which we might call 'serene melancholy. Maybe you could call this worldview but also completely different.
Max Raabe played in late March along with the Philharmonic Orchestra at the Palace in Gasteig MünchenDas album "Kissing can not be alone" contains twelve songs, most are about love, many tell a story, all of which are surprising. Among them is that with high probability, the first German love song which occur in other than passion, a pope, Günter Grass, the polar bear Knut and Günther Jauch. ICE also stewardesses whose erotic appeal the passenger so overwhelmed that he needs medical help, do not belong necessarily to the cliches of love poetry. Max Raabe can occur when a secret agent, then this is obviously not a casual seducers like James Bond, but a shy man who revels in his whole career. There are songs, balancing on the thin line between humor and melancholy. They amuse and please the ear and still contain an idea of how much pain love doing when it occurs in the absence of that second person, it is often not enough can be said for kissing is urgently needed.
Music is similar to psychotropic drugs. Music brings you into mood. You hear something hot groovy, and the fatigue, bang, gone. It is known that, with the help of music are also happy, sad, ready to move or fidget. The right music can arouse an erotic interest that we did not dare to hope, because everyone has so his memories. Max Raabe has a psychotropic drug over an extremely broad spectrum of activity. Are you melancholic it, it makes you more melancholy, but mentally you're in a happy condition, then that joy can be a dose Max Raabe again increased significantly. The inclined listener does not need a coke and no Valium, Prozac, and he does not need any speed. He needs only Max Raabe.
Come and visit one of the two concert evenings with Max Raabe and the Palast Orchester on 29 and 30.03.2012 at the Philharmonic in Gasteig in Munich.
