Starman

The soundtrack for a bold, new theatrical rock show created by international cabaret sensation Sven Ratzke, STARMAN features dazzling interpretations of classic songs by David Bowie and original material co-written by Ratzke and New York-based musician Rachelle Garniez. The album’s sparse, evocative arrangements of Ratzke’s dazzling band. Drawing inspiration from Bowie’s oeuvre — including his music, aesthetics, and personae — Ratzke creates a wholly new character, STARMAN, to bring listeners and audiences on a fantastic journey blending truth and imagination.

Songs in a Cabaret

Sven Ratzke’s Songs in a Cabaret is an album to get lost in. Wandering through its mazes, urged forward by the haunting trumpet sounds of Eric Vloeimans or the weeping accordion of Tuur Florizoone, you may never want to leave again. Ratzke, the master of ceremonies, takes you firmly by the hand and guides you through his emotional life. There are no stops or time- outs as even between the tracks sound scapes and voices – tinklin’ bells, the voice of Claron McFadden, crude conversations and loud kisses – keep you enthralled.

Songs from Diva’s like Marlene Dietrich, Grace Jones, Ingrid Caven, Zarah Leander and new songs written for Ratzke by Mathilde Santing, Fay Lovsky, Cora Frost and Rachelle Garniez
