In celebration of her Italian roots, the acclaimed classical singer Carly Paoli releases an exciting, contemporary recording of the timeless Neapolitan love song, ‘I’ Te Vurria Vasà’ -I Want To Kiss You. Written and composed by Vincenzo Russo and Eduardo di Capua in 1900, and first played to Carly by her Italian grandfather, this story of an impossible love has long been a favourite of Italian tenors including Andrea Bocelli, Franco Corelli and notably, Tito Schipa, one of the most popular tenors of the 20th century.
