The meaning of ‘Quando ti rivedrò’, Gino Paoli’s single for Ornella Vanoni

Now available on the platform is >, the latest previously unreleased track by Gino Paoli, which he was due to sing with Ornella Vanoni. The track, featuring trumpet by Paolo Fresu and produced by Adriano Pennino, was released just a few hours ago, on the night between the two artists’ birthdays: Vanoni was born on 22 September and Paoli on 23 September.

The previously unreleased track is included in the new edition of Appunti di un lungo viaggio, Gino Paoli’s iconic collection and part of the Sugar catalogue, available for pre-order on double vinyl and CD and in all shops from 25 September.

Quando ti rivedrò is a song that Paoli chose to dedicate to Ornella Vanoni, with whom he was due to perform it. Her passing has left a void, making this track even more intense and meaningful. Ornella’s unforgettable voice could never have been replaced by anyone else, which is why the artist chose to fill the void by including the sound of his great friend Fresu, which brings out the emotion of the track.
