Max Raabe & the Palast Orchester have been playing the music of and inspired by the 1920s and 30s for almost forty years, to enormous success in Germany and internationally. As the group prepares to kick off a U.S. tour in March, Max Raabe joins The Zeitgeist to discuss how the music of Weimar Germany resonates with audiences today, the stories behind the composers, and how the music connects to German history.
