''Gioielli rubati– Alice canta Battiato'' is the seventh studio album by Italian singer-songwriter Alice, released in 1985 on EMI Music. ==History== The album, whose title translates as ''Stolen Jewels – Alice sings Battiato'', followed the highly successful 1984 single and Eurovision Song Contest entry "I treni di Tozeur", a duet with the composer. ''Gioielli rubati'' includes songs from Battiato's pop albums ''L'era del cinghiale bianco'' (1979), ''Patriots'' (1980), ''La voce del padrone'' (1981), ''L'arca di Noè'' (1982) and ''Orizzonti perduti'' (1983). "Luna indiana" ("Indian Moon"), loosely based on Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" and originally largely instrumental had new lyrics penned by Francesco Messina, partly spoken and partly sung by Alice. Just like the preceding single "I treni di Tozeur", the album prominently features strings courtesy of the opera house La Scala, arranged and conducted by classical composer Roberto Cacciapaglia. The opening track "Prospettiva Nevski", minutely detailing a cold winter's day at Saint Petersburg's Nevsky Prospekt in the early 20th century, became Alice's best-selling solo single in Continental Europe and Scandinavia since her breakthrough with Sanremo music festival winner "Per Elisa" in 1981, and despite the fact that it originally was recorded by Battiato, it today counts as one of her signature tunes in Italy. Further single releases from the ''Gioielli rubati'' album include "Summer on A Solitary Beach", "Luna Indiana" and "Il Re del Mondo". Franco Battiato himself released the album ''Mondi lontanissimi'' the same year, which also included a new version of "Il Re del Mondo" as well as solo interpretations of "I treni di Tozeur" and "Chan-son Egocentrique", both previously recorded as duets with Alice. A re-recorded version of "Prospettiva Nevski" with the London Session Orchestra was included in the 2000 career retrospective ''Personal Jukebox''. The ''Gioielli rubati'' album is not to be confused with the EMI budget compilation ''Alice canta Battiato'' which comprises material recorded between the years 1980 and 1987, released in 1997 after the artist had left the label and signed with Warner Music. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gioielli rubati」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
