Хатия Буниатишвили - Серж Генсбур: La Javanaise

Khatia Buniatishvili’s new music video for “La Javanaise” by Serge Gainsbourg from her upcoming album “Labyrinth.” “Labyrinth” explores the unfathomable quest that is human life. It plots a filmic course through hesitance, wistfulness, sensuality, pleasure and pain – all seen through the eyes of a woman enlightened by self-reflection and wisdom. Recorded at La Grande Salle Pierre Boulez at the Philharmonie de Paris, the album occupies its own half-real domain, drawing on the evocative language of composers from Scarlatti to Morricone and from Bach to Glass. The labyrinth, says the French-Georgian pianist, is “our fate and creation; our impasse and deliverance; the polyphony of life, senses, reawakened dreams and the neglected present; unexpected and expected turnings of the said or unsaid ... The labyrinth of our mind.”
