Palast Orchester Max Raabe - Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen

[@dreacul]

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!

[@bobabier5394]

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

[@stewartgellatly8073]

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.

[@JGKurys]

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.

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.

[@sereno353]

Thanks, I heard Yiddish version with female voice

[@ronaldcammarata3422]

You need to write this comment on the many other recordings on KZbin where so many people claim that the pronunciation is bad German. (I get tired of repeating myself.)

[@martinking3260]

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.

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 !

[@ashleyhoward8926]

I think the singer's voice reflects recording techniques of the era, rather than what how sounded performing live.

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

My grandmother was born in 1888 and while not jewish pronounced "shayne". A cousin, before WWII came home from the academy and thereafter only spoke Hoch Deutsch and looked down on speakers of the vernacular or local variants. We have lost most local "slang" in the USA also .

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.
