I havent seen anyone in present days to reproduce with such a high fidelity the stage presence a la '30s, like Max Raabe does here. The simple fact that this exists is awesome!
wunderbare music, es errinert mich an meine junge jahre in Deutschland. Ob wohl es war ein Krieg, doch, die Zeit war sehr schön.Es geht alles vorrüber, es geht alles vorbei, nach jeden December kommt wieder ein Mai.
Super swing, et une orchestration de rêve. La violoniste est superbe, la voix du chanteur est un peu particulière, mais elle rend bien l'esprit de cette époque. Merci d'avoir partagé cette chanson, Yuri Retroman ! Thank you very much, that was swell ! Wunderschön !
I believe the violinist, who are always female, is the lovely and talented Cecilia Crisafulli who joined the Palast Orchester in 2007. She may be gone by now.
Max Raabe is unique. He has a splendid voice with a rare falsetto ability. His small orchestra less a conductor is brilliant and complements his style. Every concert is a performance par excellence.
Lyrics (1:05) Of all the girls I've known, and I've known some Until I first met you, I was lonesome And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light And this old world seemed new to me You're really swell, I have to admit you Deserve expressions that really fit you And so I've racked my brain, hoping to explain All the things that you do to me Bei mir bist du schön, please let me explain Bei mir bist du schön means you're grand Bei mir bist du schön, again I'll explain It means you're the fairest in the land I could say bella, bella, even sehr wunderbar Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are I've tried to explain, bei mir bist du schön So kiss me and say you understand Bei mir bist du schön, you've heard it all before But let me try to explain Bei mir bist du schön means that you're grand Bei mir bist du schön, it's such an old refrain And yet I should explain It means I am begging for your hand I could say bella, bella, even sehr wunderbar Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are I could say bella, bella, even sehr wunderbar Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are I've tried to explain, bei mir bist du schön So kiss me and say that you will understand
For those who don't know, this song IS Yiddish!! "Bei Mir Bistu Shein" (Yiddish: בײַ מיר ביסטו שיין, "To Me You're Beautiful") is a popular Yiddish song composed by Jacob Jacobs (lyricist) and Sholom Secunda (composer) for a 1932 Yiddish comedy musical, I Would If I Could (in Yiddish, Men Ken Lebn Nor Men Lost Nisht, "You could live, but they won't let you"), which closed after one season. The score for the song transcribed the Yiddish title as "Bay mir bistu sheyn".[1] The original Yiddish version of the song (in C minor) is a dialogue between two lovers who share lines of the song.
You need to write this comment on the many other recordings on RUclips where so many people claim that the pronunciation is bad German. (I get tired of repeating myself.)

Great performance! I can't help myself and honestly don't even know why exactly but I adore the way he leans against the piano at the end! Lovely song and wonderfully enacted from beginning to end! Loved it
I love this song, Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen. My pals in Indiana LOVE it and would like to see it in a fab show over here in HOLLYWOOD. I love my spiritual brother and family in Indiana. Hope they enjoy you, Max Raabe and the Palast Orchester. Kisses, Tyler Lord Hamilton
Perfection ! Bella - Bella ! Thanks for posting this wonderful music video. It has a wonderful rhythm and swing melody. Very motivating and positive. Thanks Chicago....

E a fixação do teatro numa linguagem - palavras escritas, música, luzes, sons -Além de covers de música vintage, Raabe escreve canções originais e música para cinema. “Superhits I” e Superhits II” são álbuns que são mostram a genialidade de seu trabalho. Se apresentou pela primeira vez nos EUA (LA) em 2004. Em 2005, teve seu primeiro concerto no Carnegie Hall (NY) e repetiu a dose em 2007 e 2010.
They used the same arrangement as Billy Cotton and His Band did on their 1938 recorded version of this tune. Three uploads of the Cotton Band record are on RUclips.
Sehr leidenschaftliche Interpretation des Liedes. Die Violine ist sehr gut gespielt! Der Trompeter im letzten Viertel unterstreicht nochmals meine Wertschätzung.
Es geht alles vorbei wenn die Jugendlichen ihr corona Hirn einschalten würden und 6 Monate zuhause diese Musik sich anhören würden. Dann können Sie den Sommer genießen.
To think I reached this place through a "child's mean" ... makes me wonder why so much prejudice towards we, 'the young', for having curiosity and interest towards the works of the past, even though having the first contact by a game ...; appreciation, as the protagonist would state, is just but a chemical. We give it meaning by choice. Cheers !

Yeah. And Its no attitude or something. He IS ist. Period^^

Ich kenne das Lied nur aus bioshock

This Palast is so wonderful.... wunderbar!!
That was so precise!!! What an incredible job. I loved watching the sax & clarinets. And the singer. And the gorgeous violinist. Viola’ 🌺💐✨

Das ist besser als immer an Trauer, Schmerz und Hass zu erinnern.
Viel Zeit haben wir nicht. 🙂
Stimmt! Deshalb: Carpe diem!
Tous simplement géniale, orchestre de grande qualité, jeux scenique de qualité et Mr Max quel talent!!!
Song of the 1930's.
Beautifully done!

What a warmhearded Jiddish song. Max Raabe is one of the best choices to interpret this juwel of Jiddish music art.
Wonderful ! I found this by chance, everyone involved has so much talent. Thank you for the upload.
Мерси ! Все просто замечательно, без замечаний !
Lyrics (1:05)
Of all the girls I've known, and I've known some
Until I first met you, I was lonesome
And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light
And this old world seemed new to me
You're really swell, I have to admit you
Deserve expressions that really fit you
And so I've racked my brain, hoping to explain
All the things that you do to me
Bei mir bist du schön, please let me explain
Bei mir bist du schön means you're grand
Bei mir bist du schön, again I'll explain
It means you're the fairest in the land
I could say bella, bella, even sehr wunderbar
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
I've tried to explain, bei mir bist du schön
So kiss me and say you understand
Bei mir bist du schön, you've heard it all before
But let me try to explain
Bei mir bist du schön means that you're grand
Bei mir bist du schön, it's such an old refrain
And yet I should explain
It means I am begging for your hand
I could say bella, bella, even sehr wunderbar
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
I could say bella, bella, even sehr wunderbar
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
I've tried to explain, bei mir bist du schön
So kiss me and say that you will understand
brilliant, good big band music from the 20's and 30's. Al Bowley does a brilliant job of this also.
Max you are delightful, we love your performances, every little nuance is outstanding!!!

Good that you share this information.But us Jews either know it's a Yiddish song or simply feel and understand it. Don't ask how - it's a mystery.
Love this! Timeless, classy and suave.
Nostalgia overpowering, Haunting and dominating for days. Superb musicianship.
Wow this was really a great version of this song! good job to all of them!

Great performance! I can't help myself and honestly don't even know why exactly but I adore the way he leans against the piano at the end!
Lovely song and wonderfully enacted from beginning to end! Loved it
You and me both haha!
Same here!!!!
I love him and the orchestra. Its musical history being brought to life...
Excellente version de ce chef d’œuvre qui me remplit de joie à chaque fois que je l’écoute.
Brilliant video and direction. The connections between the band members really helped to ground in the fun and joy of the times.
Thank you!
that violinist girl is so cute (sheineh). The orchestra is super!!!
Love this. thanks so much for the fabulous performance.
marvellous, beautiful Cecilia Crisafulli :-)
Brilliant artist. He reinterprets the time was one of the happiest and most beautiful in the history of Germany.
Wolfgang von Roit 1871-1914 :-)
you're dumb
that's not German
+ehud solomon He hasn't said that.
+Wolfgang von Roit Rather ironic considering it is actually a Jewish song and was originally sung in Yiddish.
MrSkeeja thank you!
Beautifully done. First time I have seen it done with a male solo. Very entertaining.
The backstory for this song is just pure gold
Макс Рабе - Талантище!!!
A jazzed up version of a beautiful song.Max Raabe does it well.
Оркестр супер вокалист на высоте.Браво!!!
Fine song Max! I see you also LOVE Zarah, Aloha from Hawaii

А на пути у них таверна «Кэт»!
Они пришли туда, где можно без труда
Найти себе и женщин и вина…...🙂
