Birkin / Gainsbourg - Le Symphonique, Monaco
Jane Birkin with the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra
Starring opposite Serge Gainsbourg in the film Slogan, Jane Birkin embarked on a love affair with France, music and Gainsbourg himself.
Together they recorded “Je t’aime moi non plus”. Censorship maddened, the record sold a million copies in a few months. Their daughter Charlotte Gainsbourg was born in 1971. In 1973 “Di Doo Dah” was released, Jane’s first solo album. In 1975, the terrific lovers returned with “Je t’aime moi non plus”, the film. The public was seduced by Jane’s acidulous accent, her half high-pitched half whispered voice, and the soft atmosphere she breathed into Serge’s tortured texts.
On 11 May 2017 the Opéra Garnier Monte-Carlo will welcome her back for a new tribute to Serge Gainsbourg where she will be accompanied by the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra.
