Freddie and Montserrat became so close, that she was one of the very, very few people that he told he was suffering from the illness that was soon to take him away from us all. Thanks and RIP Freddie and Montserrat.
Freddie always loved opera (see Bohemian Rhapsody) and he wrote this for Montserrat, she was from Barcelona, before they even met, because he was a massive fan of hers. It turned out she was a huge fan of his too and they did a whole album together. What was also lovely is that it was clear, from interviews with them both, they developed an enormous love for each other. Judging from interviews from later in her life it seems that Montserrat never really got over the loss of Freddie. Montserrat herself passed away in 2018. RIP to two magnificent voices.
Note that Freddie was singing in Spanish. Montserrat was his very close friend. She went to his funeral and to the unveiling of his statue. She was a truly famous Spainish Diva!
The story is this: He loved her voice and wanted to write her a song that she would sing with him. When he finally met her she said "write a song about my home town" which is how Barcelona came to be.
Such a lovely track. Many people comment on Freddie's operatic quality of singing, so this made perfect sense. The year after he passed, it was the Summer Olympics in Barcelona...and of course it was an even bigger hit! Lovely reaction. Thank you. (by the way, this was the title track from their album)
She was with Brian and Freddie’s parents at the unveiling of his statue on Lake Geneva after his death. They truly were friends until the end. Love your reactions but this one was especially awesome to see.
Montserrat Caballe was the last true prima donna operatic diva of this time there will never be another one like her. Her voice was one of the truest pure voices ever. Her daughter Montserrat Marti Is also a soprano and her husband was a tenor. Her full name was Dona Maria Montserrat Viviana Concepción Caballe y Folch.
Full of happy tears now - the line if God is willing, they will meet again - and they have ... oh dear - these are happy tears but it's SO beautiful to hear them together again. I believe Freddie had heard Monserrat sing and loved her, and wondered if she would sing with him and apparently she jumped at the chance - she'd loved his voice too. She was born in Barcelona, fabulously talented Opera Singer and died there October 2018 (RIP both)
I do not know if you knew that it was Freddie's dream to sing with her. He once said that her voice is the most beautiful in the world. He truly admired her. What he didn't know that she admired him as well. The became close friends and she was one of the first persons who knew that Freddie was HIV positive. I think you can feel a strong bond between those two 😍. Sorry for my English. Greetings from Germany
This song I believe he wrote for her. Being an Opera fan, it was about how he felt when he first saw Montserrat, "The moment you stepped into the room, you took my breath away" He adored her and one day hoped to sing with her "If God was willing, they would meet again someday" and God was willing, because they ended up doing this album together. She was just as beautiful to watch on stage as Freddie was, which made it such a powerful performance. You could tell how much they adored one another, especially in the live performance of "Golden Boy"
I lesser Known and beautiful song from their (Freddie and Montserrat) Barcelona album is "Ensueno"--- pull up the lyrics on this one.. talks about being together for eternity-- totally beatutiful.. Exercises in Free Love by Freddie is basically Freddie's demo he sent to her of Ensueno where he sings his part AND her part.. another must listen.. and nice to hear both of them
Freddy Mercury was in a class of his own. The song these are the days of our lives ..is one of my favorites..he was battling Aids then..but never lost that amazing voice
Love your reaction to this beautiful song. They did an entire album together so suggest you react to How can I go on and The Golden Boy. This song was written by Freddie and Mike Moran for the 1992 Olympics held in Barcelona, Montserrat’s home city (she was a very well known Spanish opera singer......one of the best opera singers in the world). Freddie went to an opera and fell in love with her voice after seeing her perform. Eventually they met and stayed up all night singing, and decided to do an album together....the rest is history. The entire album they made is truly wonderful.
Freddie wrote a whole album for the two of them,and this song was used for the Olympics in 1992 which unfortunately Freddie didn't live long enough too see,he did some solo work as did Dr Brian May and Roger Taylor
If you've heard Freddie's Exercises in Free Love, it was written for their album. He did it so she could learn the tune before the words were written, with him singing both parts. I think. It's Ca-by-yay.
I loved your reaction!!!!!! When the two of them sang together in harmony it was amazing. You'll love Golden Boy which they sang together. They did a whole album together. She was the preeminent soprano of her time.
This gives me goosebumps! From what i've read he saw her & Placido Domingo and said he found the perfect voice - her, and they were friends til he passed.
Thankyou dear, I love this duet. Freddie was so diverse, amazing. And Montserrat sounds si beautiful, their voices go so well together. Please react to more Freddie-Queen. Much bless to You ❤❤
These two Opera singers are simply sublime. Yes, Freddie Mercury is a full on Opera singer in this video. Montserrat. Caballe. Missed by all, both of them.
The sad part of this was that this was the last live performance before he died. They were supposed to sing it at the opening of the 92 Olympics and he told her that he didn’t think he would be alive that long (according to an interview with her). They sang it at the announcement of the 92 Barcelona Olympics. He died a year later. He co-wrote this song for her.
thanks, Jayy - they WERE meant to be together -- Freddie was entranced with Spanish opera star Monserrat Caballe -- and he wrote an entire opera for her - and him - to sing -- he was nervous to approach her... if you have heard "exercises in free love" - sung by Freddie - that is what he brought to her -- this would be her part... and she fell in love with him, as we all do... lol-- the song ended up being "Ensueno" -- with Montsy singing the high part, and Freddie singing baritone... and... also other great songs... OMG -- I ramble on... please look into it... I'm sure others will make similar recommendations... and hey -- New hope for 2021 as of today! --
I love the story about how nervous they both were before they first met. Freddie was nervous because he was such a huge fan of Montsy, and he couldn't imagine a great diva like her having much time or respect for a "lowly" rock star, and she was both naturally a shy person when offstage, and a bit taken aback after having seen some live Queen footage. But when they met, it really was that magical moment referenced in the song - Freddie was breathless, and Montsy was utterly charmed. And the rest was history.
Ohhhhhhh, Freddie looks like a secret agent, like "Mercury, Freddie Mercury" 😍😎 This is such an amazing song, such strong lyrics and the performances, WOW-OMG!!! And the look in Montsy's eyes looking at Freddie is like no other, they were a pair made in heaven. I always get emotional seeing and hearing this song...well, all of their songs.
This venture rocked both their worlds and resulted in the first crossover between the Rock and Opera worlds. Each remained true to their own sound but also experienced the freedom to explore. Catch an interview of each singly or together on their work together and you will witness genuine, mutual love and admiration. Knowing he went into this after his diagnosis, wanting to pursue such a daunting venture because it was now or never...and for the first time to decline singing live because he did not trust he could do it at the level it deserved is both touching and heartbreaking.
Freddie admired Monserrat and went to Spain to meet her. Freddie wrote this for both of them and they loved.working together. Both were incredibly talented and had angelic voices, especially in this song.
Freddie was a huge fan boy of Montserrat and they met up and play for hours and hours and staying together and he ended up writing the song and saying all her part to her to show her how he wanted it done there's a documentary of them if you look it up it will explain all the back history it's a great video I'll try to find it and put the link in here there's a lot information he absolutely loved her and she loved him and after he died a lot of people came to her asking to do a duet and she said not unless they're better than Freddie and she never did do another duet with anyone else that I know of, anyone please correct me if I'm wrong on any of this information
There is a whole album called Barcelona. Yep, there are more songs for you to hear their magnificent voices. Truly a remarkable pairing. It's considered one of Freddie's 'solo' projects - all original songs.
I love your reactions, and I also love that you don't swear. Not that I can't take it, or can sometimes swear myself, but I just love that you keep it clean.
Wow!!! A young lady loving two musical greats coming together!! Just goes to prove that music will live on!! Don't need people talking to a beat, you need pure talent!!
You're face reflects mine the first time I heard this. I was in awe. Now a year or so later, I still get chills when I hear it. Can't figure out how I missed this performance all these years. Thankyou! 🥰 And thank God for giving us these two gorgeous people to live in memories forever. Freddy and Montsy.❤️
I encourage you to listen to Freddie’s solo track Exercise In Free Love from The Great Pretender album, then listen to Ensueño from the Barcelona album. Freddie and Montserrat did an amazing job of putting lyrics (Spanish) to piece the and recording it as a duet. Actually, just get the whole Barcelona album as it’s quite amazing.
This always brings me to tears because this was a dream of Freddie's... to sing with the beautiful opera singer, Monserrat, whom passed away in 2018. The album was released in 1988, just after Freddie was diagnosed with AIDS Apparently, she was an avid rock fan and Freddie an opera. The two hit it off. Monserrat was the only one whom made Freddie cry. Oh my lord. Thanks for doing this. It's magical!
They did a whole album together💕 They were in total awe of each other. Great friends too. She said he had the best voice she had ever heard. He thought she was perfect. A match made in heaven... 💋💋💋
I’d argue your stunned silence at the end is your finest reaction. Haven’t heard this song for a while and it’s INVIGORATING! They did an album together and even if Freddie was ill at the time, he threw himself into an opera album… I love your work Jayy!
She wanted Freddie to sing this with her at the ceremonies for the Barcelona Olympics (2 years later, I believe) but he had to tell her he would no longer be here. This really fulfilled a dream for Freddie. They sound wonderful together.
First time I heard this song I utterly fell in love with it. Great great great song by two incredibly talented people who loved each other (platonically) and their music (possibly less platonically 😉)
Someone already told you they did a whole album together, I am sure it is wonderful. The song Barcelonia was played at the summer Olympics as the opening number in Spain and he passed away before he could hear it played. So sad so very sad.
Freddie era un fan incondicional de Montserrat. Y como todos sabemos la opera siempre le atrajo. Escuchó a Montserrat en una opera y decidió que cantaría con ella. Este es el maravilloso resultado. Dos voces, dos estilos, y la combinación es simplemente maravillosa.
Freddie was in admiration of Montserrat, he’d always say “she is music”. Phoebe said that each time they were due to meet, Freddie was nervous as if it was the first time they met. It shows the great amount of respect he had.Peter Freestone: "He was on cloud nine. Freddie was up in the sky. He didn't need a plane to go home on, he was so happy. From what I know of Freddie, one of the biggest, greatest moments in his life, was when Montserrat had come over to London and put down her vocal track for Barcelona. After they'd done it, on the way home from the studio, I remember Freddie turning to me and saying "That's it! I've done it! I've got HER voice on my music!"
There's an entire album of them singing together...and La Superba (Montserrat Caballle) had many other recordings. Her career spanned decades...But the two of them together was magic.
They're singing together in heaven now.
I didn't know she had passed on as well. 😓😓
Yeah it’s just a shame we can’t hear them from down here
Yep! They're giving singing lessons to the angels
@Tolkienist Coder apparently in her last interview she was reminiscing about Freddie and the fun they had in recording together. Two icons together x
I really hope so
Freddie and Montserrat became so close, that she was one of the very, very few people that he told he was suffering from the illness that was soon to take him away from us all. Thanks and RIP Freddie and Montserrat.
God, I remember living in Spain as a child when this came out for the Olympics. Blew my tiny 9 y.o brain 🤣🤣🤣
"I'm gonna learn how to pronounce her name 🤨" 🤣 the determination 😆
I remember the Olympics and the song. Excellent times.
Its a shame they couldn't do it live together for the Olympics May they both RIP 😢
They did a whole Album together, how can I go on is another great song they did together
You must watch how do i go on .
Album Name PLEASE!!!
@@bonniebickett4520 The album is called Barcelona!
And it's amaaaaazing.

Her voice was from heaven!!!!!!
Freddie was able to sing anything. I thank God he lent Freddie to us for the short time that he did.💕
AMEN to that.
When he pitched the song to her, he sang both his and her parts.
Though they have both passed away, this will never die. New people discover it everyday and it will stay with them forever xxx
2 gods of their professions, singing together...
and we shall never see their like again 😢
The story is this: He loved her voice and wanted to write her a song that she would sing with him. When he finally met her she said "write a song about my home town" which is how Barcelona came to be.

@@movietimeateds69 I'd sell a minor organ for a copy of that recording.

She was with Brian and Freddie’s parents at the unveiling of his statue on Lake Geneva after his death. They truly were friends until the end. Love your reactions but this one was especially awesome to see.
They did an entire album together. I think that "How can I go on" is even better than Barcelona.
VIVA BARCELONA, VIVA ESPAÑA Y VIVAN ESOS DOS DIOSES DE LA MÚSICA....SE ME PONE LA PIEL DE GALLINA SOLO RECORDARLOS...
Montserrat Caballe was the last true prima donna operatic diva of this time there will never be another one like her. Her voice was one of the truest pure voices ever. Her daughter Montserrat Marti Is also a soprano and her husband was a tenor. Her full name was Dona Maria Montserrat Viviana Concepción Caballe y Folch.

She was born in Barcelona, fabulously talented Opera Singer and died there October 2018 (RIP both)
This song really took off after the Barcelona summer olympics 1992 used it as their official anthem.
I do not know if you knew that it was Freddie's dream to sing with her. He once said that her voice is the most beautiful in the world. He truly admired her. What he didn't know that she admired him as well. The became close friends and she was one of the first persons who knew that Freddie was HIV positive.

When you wish there was more than a "like" button!
This song I believe he wrote for her.

She was just as beautiful to watch on stage as Freddie was, which made it such a powerful performance. You could tell how much they adored one another, especially in the live performance of "Golden Boy"
I’ve been waiting for this reactions It’s one of my favorites that he’s done during his solo career
Sounds from the heavens 💗
That's my favorite line..."The moment you walked into the room, you took my breath away"
How can I go on...and..The golden boy...of them!
I think the Barcelona album was the Freddie ´s finest work, every song is beautiful here
This is true beauty. Yes, they did an album together. ❤️
Try the other song that they made Together: "How can i Go On" from the same album . Ronny
Freddie mercury and Queen always gives you better than you expect..
I lesser Known and beautiful song from their (Freddie and Montserrat) Barcelona album is "Ensueno"--- pull up the lyrics on this one.. talks about being together for eternity-- totally beatutiful.. Exercises in Free Love by Freddie is basically Freddie's demo he sent to her of Ensueno where he sings his part AND her part.. another must listen.. and nice to hear both of them
Good recommendation, to listen to BOTH songs!
Freddy is my love
Monserrat Caballé❤️ possibly the best opera singer in history
Love it! Freddie was the best!
Exerices in Free Love, The Golden Boy, Guide Me Home, How Can I Go On.
Freddy Mercury was in a class of his own.
The song these are the days of our lives ..is one of my favorites..he was battling Aids then..but never lost that amazing voice

Ohhhhhhh, Freddie looks like a secret agent, like "Mercury, Freddie Mercury" 😍😎
This is such an amazing song, such strong lyrics and the performances, WOW-OMG!!!

Wow!!! A young lady loving two musical greats coming together!! Just goes to prove that music will live on!! Don't need people talking to a beat, you need pure talent!!
Was blown away by this as a young kid loving the Olympics. Freddie and his voice truly was a gift from god.
Hi jayy I'm so happy you done another Queen / freddie
His voice shakes me! And they sounded angelic together!!!
You're face reflects mine the first time I heard this. I was in awe.

Great friends too.
She said he had the best voice she had ever heard.
He thought she was perfect.
A match made in heaven... 💋💋💋
Freddie wrote this song and wrote all the songs on the album they did together
Wow!! 👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Two phenomenal artists who each believed the world was a far richer place for the other's presence.
WE KNEW FREDDYS VOICE WAS LIKE A 10 OUT OF 1 TO 10, BUT NEVER HEARD HER MY GOD DIDNT KNOW ANYONE COULD SING SO LOVELY!!!
The Barcelona album has 8 songs that Freddie composed for their voices. Magnifico!
I’d argue your stunned silence at the end is your finest reaction.
Haven’t heard this song for a while and it’s INVIGORATING! They did an album together and even if Freddie was ill at the time, he threw himself into an opera album…
I love your work Jayy!
Thank you so much
goosebumps when i hear them R.I.P these two great stars of the century.miss you every freddie.you are a legend
Oh I love this. Great reaction. Check out their duet How Can I Go On...
Amazing eh? You should listen to the rest of the album you’ll love it. She is from Spain I believe. Freddie was great at whatever he did. 🖖🏻🇨🇦🥰💥
She wanted Freddie to sing this with her at the ceremonies for the Barcelona Olympics (2 years later, I believe) but he had to tell her he would no longer be here. This really fulfilled a dream for Freddie. They sound wonderful together.
they did a whole album together check out The Golden boy, How can I go on, Guide me home, Ensueno
This entire album is soooooo gooood. Watch the whole concert. So worth every second.
I love love love your reaction. I could listen to this performance a thousand times, and probably will. They are both exquisite! Thank you again :D
Freddie co-wrote all these songs on the album- genius!
I love your reactions-
First time I heard this song I utterly fell in love with it. Great great great song by two incredibly talented people who loved each other (platonically) and their music (possibly less platonically 😉)
You look like you've had a life changing moment.
Never heard this before..WOW
Someone already told you they did a whole album together, I am sure it is wonderful. The song Barcelonia was played at the summer Olympics as the opening number in Spain and he passed away before he could hear it played. So sad so very sad.

The Golden Boy is an absolute must. They are just awesome together.
Hey Jayy, at one point Iwas really afraid your eyes would pop out of your gorgeous face! Ha ha!
I love THE GOLDEN BOY from the Barcelona album. Freddie wrote all the songs on this album. A true musical love affair!! “Lord have mercy” 😁👑🌸
