## Description

.com








British-born Birkin, with her deep bangs and waif-like, androgynous persona, was an iconic 1960s sex kitten. Her exploits ranged from the three-way scene in in Antonioni¹s film Blow Up to performing one-half of her late ex-husband Serge Gainsbourg's notorious (in retrospect, also quite witty!) erotic duet, "Je T'Aime, Moi Non Plus." These days, although her trademark breathy vocal style remains as subtly elusive as ever, she has finally moved on to a mature and womanly sensibility. This live album features an all-Gainsbourg program, but his romantic, world-weary satires are now wreathed in sultry Middle Eastern instrumentation, which suits them remarkably well. The songwriter died relatively young, worn out by cigarettes and hard living. Birkin's interpretations, while based on inside knowledge of the man and his music, are filtered through a shifting kaleidoscope of private images. Her sensuous, sophisticated renditions are part of Gainsbourg's legacy but more importantly, they make scrumptious listening. --Christina Roden

    Rare opportunity to hear Djamel Ben Yelles
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2009*

This album is a rare opportunity to hear the fascinating and hypnotic violinist, Djamel Ben Yelles (also spelled Benyelles) whose work has been undervalued for years.  One of his skills lies in floating a musical liferaft for singers with very small voices, and he does this wonderfully here for Jane Birkin, who only stays afloat in several numbers thanks to him.  If you are not a Birkin fan, you may find her contribution unbearably irritating.  However the numbers where Ben Yelles's violin soars (as in his own immensely popular "She Left Home") are well worth listening to.

    IN AN ORIENTAL SETTING
  

*by A***T on Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2006*

JANE BIRKIN'S voice remains a matter of taste,and if you did not dig her before,chances are you won't appreciate this live tribute to SERGE GAINSBOURG,her late husband.I for one appreciated many relectures of GAINSBOURG's songs like LES DESSOUS CHICS and AMOUR DES FEINTES in an ORIENTAL setting,which gives them an unique look,quite original in it's own way.Unfortunately,i do not like everything here.Sometimes,i feel like i am in THE FLOWER DRUM SONG,the RODGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN 1958 musical.It's a mixed bag.If your new to GAINSBOURG,don't start with this one,it would be a mistake.
