La Luna is the second music album by the musician Angelo Branduardi . It was released on LP in 1975 and is dedicated to Riccardo Michelini and Luisa Zappa .
Album information
La Luna
The 1975 album La Luna contained nine songs arranged by Maurizio Fabrizio, including Confessioni di un malandrino with a text by Sergej Esenin translated into Italian by Luisa Zappa. In addition, Branduardi's only real piano ballad (Donna mia) can be heard there. Gli alberi sono alti is an Italian version of a Celtic song that Alan Stivell made known to a wide audience for the first time with his harp. This is probably the trigger for Branduardi to choose La Luna as an album for re-release with the single song "Gulliver".
Gulliver
The song Gulliver is a well-known melody that was composed in 1929 under the title Son ar chistr ("Song of the cider") by Jean Bernard and Jean-Marie Prima from the Morbihan and is held in the style of a folk song. Alan Stivell made this song popular. The Dutch music group Bots later published "What we want to drink" to this melody, with which this melody became known for the first time to a broad audience of millions in Germany and Holland. Branduardi's wife Luisa Zappa- Branduardi wrote a text about the famous children's novel from Gulliver's Travels . In the first stanza, Gulliver visits the Lilliputians, and in the second the giants. "Gulliver" was released in 1980 as a single and the only new song on the album "Gulliver, la luna e altri disegni". If you know it, you can clearly hear that Gulliver doesn't quite belong to the other songs, which is probably due to the arrangement by Paul Buckmaster (not like Maurizio Fabrizio in 1975 ).
Republished as Gulliver, la luna e altri disegni
Gulliver, la luna e altri disegni consists of 90 percent of the songs from the album La Luna from 1975. The tracks were remixed at Fonit Cetra in Milan by Plinio "Kipling" Chiesa. Only the title Gulliver , written by Luisa Zappa and Angelo Branduardi, is new to the album and was arranged by Paul Buckmaster . The other nine tracks were arranged by Angelo Branduardi and Maurizio Fabrizio in 1975 .

Versions in other languages
- Confession d'un malandrin - French version by Gulliver, la luna e altri disegni (1980) with translations by Etienne Roda-Gil
Other pressings and single releases from Gulliver
In 1980, the version "La Luna, Gulliver e altri disegni" appeared in France on the front of the cover with the image of the "La Luna" cover, which Branduardi shows from behind in the moonlight on a body of water. However, Branduardi can only be seen as a black outline. The original album was not released again, which is probably due to the good sales of "Gulliver".
Some of the pieces were re-mixed in 1991 and partly changed as a remix on the compilation LP & CD Il meglio di angelo branduardi - CONFESSIONI DI UN MALANDRINO new.
- La Luna, Gulliver i altri disegni - 2 different pressings with the cover photo of La Luna, but one with a different design.
- Gulliver - Single with "Per creare i suoi occhi" from the album Angelo Branduardi (album) as B-side.
- Gulliver - * La Luna (2 different single records with different covers.)
