Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé - Barcelona (Live at Ku Club Ibiza, 1987) (Reaction) (MMM Series)
Original Video: • Freddie Mercury & Mont...
Message:
Monserrat Caballé was a Spanish opera singer and was widely considered to be one of the best operatic sopranos of the 20th century.
The song was written by Freddie Mercury and Mike Moran. Originally released in 1987, it was one of the biggest hits of Freddie's solo career. After Freddie's death in 1991, it was featured at the 1992 Summer Olympics.
Freddie and Monserrat were very close friends.

One of the very few rock singers who can stand next to opera singer and not sound like crap but completely equal to her voice.
'Barcelona' is Freddie's love letter to Monste. He recounts the first time that they met and how he felt. It's a quite well known anecdote now that he was incredibly nervous at meeting his idol. And then when she arrived, he was like a schoolboy in a sweetie shop.
Freddie Mercury was so much more than a rock singer, he was a brilliant musician, an excellent singer, songwriter, storyteller. He had an eclectic musical taste and the range to sing operatic songs. Montserrat Caballé was one of the most famous opera divas of the last century, she was famous for her very high soft notes. Freddie and Montserrat became good friends very quickly, they adored each other and Montserrat was brave enough to take the risk to sing with a rock star, because she recognized The Musician in Freddie instantly. Great reaction, thank you. Pls, check out the Golden Boy at La Nit 88, that is even more theatrical and Freddie have composed a little musical surprise into that.
Montserrat était la vraie amie de Freddie et elle savait que en ce moment Freddie est malade ... Merci pour ta réaction
This was Freddie’s love letter to Montserrat. He was in awe of her. A great achievement for him as he composed a whole album at Montsy’s request.
This is such a beautiful piece performed by two powerhouses. Freddie recorded a whole album called "Barcelona" and collaborated with Monserrat. She sang a few more duets with him. The whole album is fantastic.
As far as I know, this song was supposed to be the theme song for the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, but because of Freddie's death, they chose a different song.
Montserrat Caballé was one of the best voices in the opera world in her time. A huge star. She was so kind and a lovely woman. Freddie loved her very much. They became friends. Most of the opera singers bored me very much as a young person - as they still do today. 😀 She was a great exception. She was so often a star at the Vienna Opera in my homeland Austria.
YOU Nailed it !!! "How Can I Go On" by Them, is Even Better in My Opinion
“La Japonaise” from the same album doesn’t receive nearly enough love… but to me it’s the best song on the whole thing ! (My opinion only, of course. The entire album is a wonder !)
@imweakfordeaky never heard of it, have to check it out, thanks......
Screaming.That's the way the song started. Freddie wasn't quite sure how to approach the song so he came to the window and just yelled Barcelona!!!!! And the rest is history.
Freddie mercury felt that Montserrat, Monsy, had the most beautiful voice he had ever heard. He was in Italy and saw her performing and made that comment. It got back to monsy and she wanted to meet Freddie. She been asked him to collaborate on a pc for the opening ceremonies of the 1992 summer Olympics to be held in Barcelona. She was from Barcelona the song had to be in about 4 years prior to the start of the Olympics to be considered. He wrote this song about Narcelona but as you mentioned it's actually about him meeting her. This was done in 88. He Told her that he would not be around to sing it live at the opening ceremonies in 92. As best as I can piece it together she Was the very 1st person he told that he was sick. This was even before he TOLD His band mates. Sadly he passed in 91. They did use the song in the opening ceremonies but it was done through video. After the rounding success Otherworldly duet many musicians contacted her to also perform with her as Freddy did. She said no. Was her and Freddy and she would never attempt to Duplicate it with any other singer. It was her and freddie's alone. There are 2 other songs Alexa On RUclips With freddie and Montserrat. They are golden boy and how can I go on. They are Simply spelled binding And then that mercury mercury touch. They did do an album titled Barcelona. There are interviews on RUclips with monsy regarding their relationship and the whole Genesis of this piece. The love respect admiration enjoyment that they have towards one another and performing with one another Just spills out.
This is and remains a wonderful performance 💖
Hi! Montserrat needed a song written for the 1992 Olympics, which took place in Barcelona. She wanted to do a whole album for/with him, but this was definitely her first request, as she was slotted to perform it there. I love it too. He sang others with her on stage that there are videos of. Love everything of Freddie’s and Queen.
They must be playing great shows in paradise 😇😇
Приветствую, Фил! Как говорил сам Фредди, спеть с Монсерат было его мечтой и он не верил, что это возможно. Но оказалось, что для него ничего невозможного нет! Фредди давно нет с нами, но мы можем наслаждаться этим шедевром!!!
This is, without a doubt one of the most epic music pieces I've ever seen or heard. Thank you for your great reaction ✌️❤️🙏
This song for sure became an anthem, as it should be. The calling for the city and the love to be celebrated was to celebrate the Olympics of 1992 at Barcelona. Freddie was already ill, and they probably knew that they wouldn't be able to perform together at the Opening Ceremony. ❤
He was very very sick when he wrote this it is amazing he could do this. He knew he wouldn't see the opening. She did it without him and was so so very bittersweet. RIP Montserrat and Freddie. The world misses you but you forever in your music.
Wonderful reaction, Thank you!
There are two other songs from the Barcelona album that were performed live at La Nit:
"How Can I Go On"
(The lyrics are rather autobiographical, considering the stage of Freddie's life/illness.)
and
"The Golden Boy"
(Which is my favorite of the live performances... part opera, part gospel!)
From the rest of the album, I'd definitely recommend:
"Exercises In Free Love"
(This is a demo Freddie recorded, where he sings Montserrat's SOPRANO part!)
and
"Ensueno"
(This is the follow-up/companion piece after "Exercises In Free Love"; a finished duet where Freddie "trades parts" and sings in an OPERATIC BARITONE... Something Montserrat said she "convinced him to do and gave him some pointers".)
also
"La Japonaise"
(Unbelievably BEAUTIFUL.)
Barcelona was written to open the the Barcelona Olympics. Monserrat came from Barcelona and Freddie dreamed of performing with this world class Diva.
Fil, a classic. Such a powerhouse performance. Yeah, Freddie's stage presence is legendary, along with his writing ability.
#QcumberSquad #FreddieMercury #MontserratCCaballé - Fil, I'm off back to the study.
Величайшие певцы на все времена! Спасибо за реакцию! ❤
Вау!!! Обожаю,, Барселона "🎉 лучшее, что сделал Фредди!❤❤❤❤
Good night from Barcelona ❤
One of the great duets of our time!
Freddie is more than a rock legend. He is incomparable. He is a total package. Thank you for your great reaction. Hope you can also do review - How can I go on. It is also an amazing performance by 2 legends. Thank you for your great reaction.
It was a love song for the city of Barcelona. Freddie wrote "Barcelona" at Montserrat's request for submission and consideration to be THE theme song for the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona. Had Freddie lived, he & Montserrat would have sung it together at the opening. Alas, he passed away before that could take place.
One of my favourite songs ever
Uma performasse tão linda, por favor, confira mais do trabalho deses dois, não vai se arrepender! Principalmente The golden boy! Lembrando que o trabalho solo dos membros da banda sempre foi paralelo ao Queen, o que também mostra como Freddie era multitalentoso ❤
Freddie Mercury composed this piece xx
la grande rip monserrat caballe. the best opera women
Barcelona is their story about their meeting and mutual love for each other
It was written for the Barcelona Olympics it was not about a love story. He died before the Olympics.
Montserrat a universally recognised Opera Diva and Freddie Mercury world-wide recognised musician and performance icon continue to inspire generations to come. So enjoyable evidencing new appreciation of this masterpiece from so long ago. Thanks!
I'm only 19 but I'm so in love with Freddie.
Barcelona Olimpic games 1992 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Freddie was already very sick here😔
Thank you! Love this so much! Barcelona is for ten years my ringing tone on my mobile! 😃 But I always cry for Freddie... Thank you, Fil!
No one owed the stage like Freddie! I had the privilege of seeing Queen live twice in the 70s.
This was just the appetizer, The Golden Boy is the main course!
Bon Appetit!
I think Freddie was so proud of this effort and album, especially at this point in his life. The challenge fed his soul -- It was a much needed salvo for his Aids journey. He was aware and insecure about his ability to perform live; he confided in Montserrat about his illness and their friendship deepened. Her interviews then and late in life treated his memory as a precious gift in her life.
Freddie had a true love for opera and ballet. I also believe that he had the purest love for her, such an stunningly beautiful composition and performance. Freddie was absolutely incredible and taken long before his time, which is heartbreaking ❤.
This shows the great love they had for each other. The love story was theirs
thank you phil, love this song ❤❤
Oh I loved this song back in 1987. Freddie was so open-minded and I liked this cooperation with Montserrat a lot. Yes, indeed it was like an anthem. :)
Dueto espetacular! ❤❤❤🇧🇷🇧🇷
That is exactly what happened to them. He met her in Barcelona and they fell in love. They did a whole album together.
This song is about Freddie and Montserrat’s first meeting in the city of Barcelona. Try the Golden Boy by them also. Great reaction!
Yes Freddie WAS an opera singer too 🎉
Величайший дуэт всех времён!❤
This was indeed meant to be an anthem, written specifically for the Barcelona 1992 Olympics. Montserrat was from Barcelona, and was so impressed with Freddie, she asked him to do an album with her. Tim Rice was invited by Freddie to contribute to lyrics on 2 of the album songs. Tim had been the lyricist for Evita, and Jesus Christ Super Star among other works, and said a few years later, that Freddie, had he lived, could no doubt create a grand opera. He was very impressed with Freddie's immense talents and said he was not sure why Freddie asked for his imput other than to just have a different perspective, as Freddie could easily fill the album with wonderful songs by himself
Freakin’ chills everytime
Oooooh i love love love love this what a duet ..my sexy Freddie .. saw him ..yes definitely was born on a stage ..their singing is soooo beautiful thanku both for this phenomenol treat ..Fil i love it here x
He & Monserrate were such great friends that she refused to sing this with anyone else at the opening ceremonies for the 1992 Olympics. They, instead, had a holographic video of Freddy singing his part on an overhead video screen & she sang along with her wonderful friend once more. She never performed the song again after that day. She passed away in 2022.
I believe she passed away in 2018. R.I.P. Montsy and Freddie.
Te recomiendo que reacciones a How can I go on y The golden boy, del mismo álbum que canta junto a Montserrat, pero es mucho mejor ver la presentacion que hicieron en Barcelona, fue increíble!!! live La nit 1988
Perfection❤
, Спасибо!!!...…..❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹
You definitely need to react to Queen!!!
They're the best band that ever existed.
Hello from Cody Wyoming USA! You are awesome, keep it up....don't sleep on Queen.. all are welcome to the rabbithole 😊
Amezing...amezing!
Thanks, MMM - he wrote an entire album for himself and "Montsy" - I hope you listen to more... much appreciated!
Freddie adored and admired Montserrat and vice versa.
Have you ever listened to Marc Martel? He was born with Freddie's voice. It's insane how much he sounds like Freddie, he's literally brought Celine Dion to tears singing for her (huge fan of Freddie). Well he trained himself to sing opera in the style of Pavarotti. So he has an album combining the two sounds, he calls it the Mercurotti. If this makes you wonder what Freddie would have sounded like if he trained himself in opera, check that out.
Try Golden Boy & How can I go on…..you will love them both 🎼❤️🎼🇬🇧
Is there anything more beautiful than these Heavenly beings’ voices? May I recommend THE GOLDEN BOY from the Barcelona album, lyrics by Sir Tim Rice! He commented that Freddie is The Golden Boy!!
Fantàstic song for a Fantàstic City ❤❤❤
Freddie had commented that he went clean shaven out of respect for Montserrat and the Opera community!!
LA CANCIÓN ""BARÇELONA"" LA ESCRIBIÓ FREDDIE PARA MONTSERRAT CABALLÉ, ERAN AMIGOS Y SE QUERÍAN MUCHO...LA CANCIÓN ERAN LOS SENTIMIENTOS QUE TENIAN DE AMOR/AMISTAD Y RESPETO..MARAVILLOSA CANCIÓN QUE FUE PARA LOS JUEGOS OLIMPICOS DE BARÇELONA 1992...CUANDO LLEGARÓN EL YA HABÍA MUERTO Y NO PUDO DISFRUTARLOS (HIVAN A GRABAR UN DISCO JUNTOS Y NUNCA PUDO SER)
Listen to Exercises In Free Love . To hear Freddie sing opera .
She is the person he sings about. He wrote the song about her to sing with her.
I love how both of them stay completely true to their own genres, but yet it is perfect. Both of them are fabulous. However the word goat is used far too much these days. After all there can only be one greatest of all time, and we just watched him 👍🏴❤
omg Queen are the greatest rock band in history. You should cover Live Aid Concert in 1985. Queen set. Best live rock performance in history..........official. see what you think.
Noooooooooo!!!!!! Another one I have to remove off my birthday list. We are going to have to come to some agreement …… 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sorry Sonja. Maybe you should post your list on the Sphere so that no one requests any of those songs. 😁
@@MichaelReiter nahhhh, just shows we enjoy same kinda music 😄
❤
First ever opera cross over
They were critisised a lot
Then everyone did it!
❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢 Anita Argentina genios
Extraordinary, incomparable, an indelible memory in my mind, one of Freddy's most unforgettable performances. Only one singer arouses such emotion in me now, and it is Dimash, who could have sung this song even alone 🤣🤣🤣😏😏 even if Freddy is unique, Dimash is very similar to her in the charisma he has on stage when he sings. Hello Fable, a hug from Italy 🇮🇹😘 PS you are my favorite reactor.
Thanks so much. Really appreciate it.😊
Olá Filipe. Esta música foi composta para os Jogos Olímpicos de 1992, que ocorreram em Barcelona. Era suposto ser uma das músicas dos Jogos. Infelizmente Freddie Mercury faleceu em 1991 e Montserrat Caballé recusou-se a cantar em 1992 com outra pessoa. Queen são a minha banda favorita de todos os tempos! 🤩Freddie o melhor cantor! Até conhecer Dimash||| 🥰Há muitos anos que sou uma devota DEAR. 😍Creio que ultrapassou o Freddie no meu coração! 🤔Não sei… Beijinhos PT
Slap your wrist... "never reacted to Queen or Freddie Murcury"! There's so much good stuff ❤ check out the Queen rabbit hole, it's well worth it.
You totally miss the point. This is not just a song of a loce affair. It is a Caballé inspiration.
It's a Hard Life is pretty theatrical as well.
Hey boetie, Freddie is Queen forever
Barcelona 1992 Olympic Theme Song. Never heard of it? You are older than 1992...
Seriously have nothing to say about the great goddess of opera, Montserrat? At some point, did it cross your mind who was next to Freddy? Anyway, I couldn't expect anything since you didn't even know who she was.
