Exactly my second impression of her (first was her amazing voice, never heard anyone like her). I saw an interview with her a long time ago and it stuck to me how humble and warm she was.

Her performance makes me tear up every time. It’s not just the crystalline voice, but something in the warmth and sincerity of it. It feels like a divine mother’s embrace.
Beautiful. When humans dedicate their lives to something bigger than themselves, like peak artistic performance, they are as close to divinity as you can get.
I had the pleasure of meeting Madame Caballe when I was working for the Connecticut Opera in the late seventies. It was my job to chauffeur her to and from rehearsals for a production of La Boheme. She couldn't have been sweeter, even with my nine-year-old son in the back seat. He told her he'd seen her in Barcelona in Tosca and she asked which opera he liked her better in. When he said, Tosca, she agreed that she preferred that role as well. What a lovely lady!
Vous devriez écouter Renée Fleming,son interprétation est bien meilleure, une émotion incroyable s'en dégage, Montserrat Cabbalé a certes un organe extraordinaire mais son interprétation est froide et dénuée de tout feeling.... Je n'ai jamais aimé cette diva malgré la perfection de sa voix, il manque l'âme contrairement à la Callas dont la voix était moins belle mais qui faisait passer tant d'émotion dans son chant.....
@@nathelondon3719 Hardly. Rosa Ponselle, Rosa Raisa, Renata Tebaldi, Zinka Milanov, Leontyne Price, Joan Sutherland - all had greater voices or at the very least, more beautiful voices.
Unfortunately, I've never had the opportunity to hear her sing live. Last week, I went on a little trip to Barcelona, her hometown. I went to pay my respects both to her and her family. I had a little moment near their grave, it was a precious and intense moment. Thank you for the music, Ms Caballé.
This woman has always reminded me of my mom. She’s beautiful and has the sweetest smile and voice. My mom used to play opera for us when we were kids and because she was classically trained she sang it just as beautifully. So whenever I hear this wonderful, wonderful woman, I immediately get homesick. Thank you for an incredible memory and a talent not often seen anymore.
Her voice was as angelical as was powerful. I'll never forget her concert in San Francisco, when she went from the softest sound to peeling the paint off the walls of Memorial Opera House. Oh that I miss her!
There's a reason why she was and always will be the greatest opera singer of our time. You take a sad song and put it into her hands and it will make your heart shatter in tears.
@@renzocavani6524 well, if we are talking pure opera singing prowess, yes. Yet, I still like to remember Montserrat as the person who, thanks to Freddie Mercury (in my opinion, I felt that way), had this marvellous chance not only to be free to express herself far away from the rigidity that is Opera but also to introduce this form of singing to generations far beyond the times where anything but opera/classical music was considered 2nd class art at best. And let's be honest, Montserrat's quirky being would let any sane man fall in love, she was just that adorable.
I agree, but only if you also mention the great Maria Callas. She’s up there to. Not bg sheer voice control, but by sending everything with shivering and heartbreaking emotion... love those two woman
Ich hatte das große Glück, als Studentin in den 90ern mal eine Konzertkarte als Geschenk erhalten zuhaben - einer der bewegendsten Konzertabende meines Lebens 😍
Thank you google for let me know how ignorant I am. 4 min before I didn't even know Montserrat Caballé and 4 min later she gives me vibes to my spine and tears to my eyes. Wonderful
How can you not listen to this and just cry? Her control is stunning, especially in those higher moments. While most would portamento, her high notes seem to just float out of nowhere. Her connection with the text here is so stupendous. A legend.

My God. What a pure voice! Those high notes are the cleanest, sweetest, and more delicate I’ve ever heard. No wonder Freddie called her the greatest singer in the world.
Alan Mundy Some people are delusional. She’s incredibly amazing especially for someone her age and she’ll improve over the years but as of right now, she’s not the greatest voice and people will have to accept it. But she’s very talented and I believe in her, thank God we still have young people who’re still interested in opera.
In my book, she was simply the best (sorry to the Callas fans). Her tone is warm and lovely. Her control is incomparable. Her pianissimo touches me, makes me weep.
@Maria erminia Vesconi That doesn't surprise me. La Divina certainly had good taste, La superba was on another level. I will admit I prefer her voice to La Divina's.
I know I've listened to Tebaldi's version of this several times. It's beautiful but there's just something about Caballé's performance that pushes her version to the top spot on the list of my favourite versions of O Mio Babbino Caro.
plutao I could listen to Freddie Mercury sing, all day every day. He was certainly before his time. I don't know that there could ever be a duet quite as pronounced and beautiful as Barcelona. Back in a time when music had substance. Living in a Country that snubs a magnificent band like Queen a Grammy, but awards Taylor Swift. Should be a crime really. But I could be biased; as Freddie Mercury hasn't done anything musically that I don't like. He was truly a genius.
plutao I know... The US MTV refused to play Queens "I want To Breakfree" music video because they were dressed in drag...Brian May said in an interview that was really what hurt their career in the U.S. Fucking stupid. We didn't even induct Queen in the music hall of fame for at least a decade following Freddie's death. If that doesn't tell you how corrupt our music standards/industry is, nothing will.... Blows my mind that Bohemian Rhapsody was the first rock song ever over 6 minutes long, commercially successful, had tons of air time, yet Beyonce, Kanye West, and other non worthy hacks have taken over 15 to 20 Grammys home? I smell intolerance for ones lifestyle choices rather than anything constructive. Says a lot about a band with a lead vocalist (with an almost 5 octave range) have a song over 6 minutes long make its way back to a top 10 music chart status because a stupid SNL spin off played it in a scene of a movie! All the while it was written by Freddie in the mid 1970's, and Freddie had fatally succumbed to an Aids related illness 2 to 3 years prior to the premier of Waynes World. "We are the Champions" "Another one Bites the Dust," and "We will Rock You" are widely used and recognized at sports events all over the world. I had to memorize Another One Bites the Dust on Clarinet for marching band in high school. Played it at every football game. "Gold digger, and Single Ladies" will not be a legacy.
I swear to God, I've heard so many great versions from this song but none of them compete with this version. She sings with such precious gentleness and grace... Angelic! Incredibly divine... Way beyond words... Bravo 👏
@@sharona4274 we have listened to Renata and all the rest of them, and they're all Great among equals.. Each one of those great ones have their own a little something that makes them special one!
This aria has been a favorite of mine for many years. Puccini wrote it in such a way that when its heard it's emotional impact goes straight to the heart. Truly an incredible piece of music!
After hearing all those shrill pretenders butchering this song on AGT, you realize the massive chasm that separates her from all of them. She hits all those high notes so softly, with such control of volume and air flow, such purity of sound, it's simply astonishing that she makes notes far beyond most humans' registers seem so easily accessible.
That's because most of those AGT contestants aren't classically trained. They're passable choral sopranos at best, but any real opera performer can have them beat anyday. People are easily impressed these days.
The way she hits those high notes so softly gives me goosebumps because my ears are so unfamiliar with how those notes roll so smoothly without piercing your ears.
Ani Vardanyan Victoria de Los Angeles, beautiful!!! If they had the technology back then and captured her (Victoria) true dynamics that may have won my heart! :) none the less it was beautiful enough to sweep me of my feet. Thank you for pointing her to me.
her control is RIDICULOUS on the high notes. all the other versions on the side bar are people rushing through the song and belting out the high notes as loud as possible. there is a care and fitness to this performance that she alone has. YAS QUEEN COME THRU!!!!
Its the unagitated_ness of her performance which makes it standing out....the ease of the highnotes... I agree with OP...most other performances I view on RUclips feel rushed...even strained sometimes where volume goes over beauty--- I wish they would still teach Bel Canto or would start to do so again...we need it back
Hard to believe that a human being is capable of this kind of beautiful sound. Aren’t we lucky to hear this deep expression? And know that it will forever live in our hearts.
How is it even possible to sound so ethereal and angelic. Its all most super natural. It makes the soul cry in joy. Bless you for giving us something so beautiful and pure. humans are so awesome.
Y hablando Alemán con propiedad y chispa. Hacer reír a un público en Alemán, les cuento. Pero Monserrat lo logró. Y mejor no hago el comentario de la interpretación.
She brings tears to my eyes when she sings. It breaks my heart that I can't sing. She makes it look so effortless and this is how I imagine a goddess to be.

@Azay Dee I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of HEAVEN and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from HEAVEN, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into HEAVEN and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the RESURRECTION of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.
Her voice is incredibly beautiful, but as far as opera arias go, it's actually among the easiest technically, it's difficulty more in making it really smooth and in interpretation. But technically, it's not difficult. Listen to how she sings Preghiera from Maria Stuarda when she holds to a long note while the orchestra sings phrase after phrase, or Casta Diva. Opera singers are professionals, they are supposed to make it seem easy; otherwise, they are unemployed, kind of like ballet dancers who make everything look easy. They are also singing in 2-5 hour performances without a microphone and over an orchestra which is much more difficult than singing an aria in concert, and Montserrat Caballe is among the best sopranos ever, a legend.
A beautiful, well controlled performance, evoking the gentleness and rather shy demeanor the composer intended for the young woman in the opera pleading gently with her father.
For 3 minutes, everything else was immaterial. Nothing else mattered, it was just us listening to one of the most incredible voices to grace this planet.

Cosmic86x In your opinion, whose voice do you prefer, Callas or Bartoli? That third spot was difficult to decide on
Andros Skywalker
I would actually choose Caballé as my favourite. But Callas and Bartoli are very close at rank 2 and 3
What a fabulous voice. Caballé floats those high notes effortlessly.
She seems as if she's not making an effort due to her fascinating technique.But she sure is....
Thats why Freddie Mercury loved this woman.
Agreed!
Agree!
Iwas a dream of his to duet with her, and one that came true ❤
Her beautiful, so expressive facial gestures, her gorgeous outfit and the high notes. WHat a miracle she was!
I'll forever thank Mr. Bean for introducing me to this masterpiece.
me 2 man,
And GTA 3 too
IKR LOL
Yeah 😂
Yes, me too. I think I heard it on Shawshank Redemption too.
My grandma used to sing opera and she passed away in 2016. This reminds me of her so much
I understand why the Great One Freddie Mercury was a fan of this ultimate diva
Freddie Mercury believed that she had the most beautiful voice... They did a duet together. Called "Barcelona."
Christine Poff and she has, only a great one to know another equal... for me the ultimate duet in heaven is Pavarotti and Freddie
plutao I could listen to Freddie Mercury sing, all day every day. He was certainly before his time. I don't know that there could ever be a duet quite as pronounced and beautiful as Barcelona. Back in a time when music had substance. Living in a Country that snubs a magnificent band like Queen a Grammy, but awards Taylor Swift. Should be a crime really. But I could be biased; as Freddie Mercury hasn't done anything musically that I don't like. He was truly a genius.
Christine Poff in USA Queen was too underrated, in special after the álbum The Works
plutao I know... The US MTV refused to play Queens "I want To Breakfree" music video because they were dressed in drag...Brian May said in an interview that was really what hurt their career in the U.S. Fucking stupid. We didn't even induct Queen in the music hall of fame for at least a decade following Freddie's death. If that doesn't tell you how corrupt our music standards/industry is, nothing will.... Blows my mind that Bohemian Rhapsody was the first rock song ever over 6 minutes long, commercially successful, had tons of air time, yet Beyonce, Kanye West, and other non worthy hacks have taken over 15 to 20 Grammys home? I smell intolerance for ones lifestyle choices rather than anything constructive. Says a lot about a band with a lead vocalist (with an almost 5 octave range) have a song over 6 minutes long make its way back to a top 10 music chart status because a stupid SNL spin off played it in a scene of a movie! All the while it was written by Freddie in the mid 1970's, and Freddie had fatally succumbed to an Aids related illness 2 to 3 years prior to the premier of Waynes World. "We are the Champions" "Another one Bites the Dust," and "We will Rock You" are widely used and recognized at sports events all over the world. I had to memorize Another One Bites the Dust on Clarinet for marching band in high school. Played it at every football game. "Gold digger, and Single Ladies" will not be a legacy.
Thank you, Freddie Mercury, for introducing me to one of the most beautiful voices on the planet.
R.I.P montserrat Caballé voice of an angel. You will be missed
Única en todo
Cantarás en el cielo!
I swear to God, I've heard so many great versions from this song but none of them compete with this version. She sings with such precious gentleness and grace... Angelic! Incredibly divine... Way beyond words... Bravo 👏
My eyes got watery all of a sudden...Such beauty cannot be described with words.
I love her talent, her voice and her sense of humor. She was one of the greatest sopranos in all the history with Maria Callas.
Diego Perez Perea please listen to Renata Tibaldi?
@@sharona4274 we have listened to Renata and all the rest of them, and they're all Great among equals..
Each one of those great ones have their own a little something that makes them special one!
Those high notes, so effortless and pure, like sunlight on the dawn of a spring morning.
Perfect
I absolutely love, Montserrat Caballe. This is pure magic, therapy! Best regards from POLAND
Someone give this woman some roses and a magnum of champagne, that was hauntingly beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.
She has the most delicate soprano voice I have ever heard. I could listen to her all day. What a voice!!
This aria has been a favorite of mine for many years. Puccini wrote it in such a way that when its heard it's emotional impact goes straight to the heart. Truly an incredible piece of music!
Une immense artiste et une femme de coeur. Merci pour ces moments d'émotion à vous écouter. Reposez en paix, grande dame.
littéralement immense

Descanse en paz. Grandísima Caballé para siempre en nuestro corazón
Os anos passam, e eu nunca vou me cansar de visitar esse vídeo e chorar de emoção com essa música, com essa voz. Coisa mais linda desse mundo!
Ela interpreta divinamente bem! 😢❤
👍🏿🇮🇹
After hearing all those shrill pretenders butchering this song on AGT, you realize the massive chasm that separates her from all of them. She hits all those high notes so softly, with such control of volume and air flow, such purity of sound, it's simply astonishing that she makes notes far beyond most humans' registers seem so easily accessible.
That's because most of those AGT contestants aren't classically trained. They're passable choral sopranos at best, but any real opera performer can have them beat anyday. People are easily impressed these days.
@@TwilightEpiphany Yes.
True.. So true.. The best Bambino Caro ever..by Monserrat..My favourite soprano..,,, ❤️
.
She’s awesome. And being a Brit, awesome is not a word I use lightly.
The way she hits those high notes so softly gives me goosebumps because my ears are so unfamiliar with how those notes roll so smoothly without piercing your ears.
Good Bye Montserrat. Thanks
ZBOGOM MONSERAT+++
Прекрасная дива! Мы плачем. Прощай.
I never will forget her singing with Freddie Murphy either.

Bendita la tecnologia del siglo XXI que nos permite escuchar esto.

Not only a beautiful voice deeply & emotionally that resonant with your soul. Bravo! Maria, & thank you kindly,
Most beautiful rendition ever, bar none. Incredible!
try Victoria de los Angeles! :P
Irwin Wins a
This was great! Have you heard Kathleen Battle sing it?
Ani Vardanyan Victoria de Los Angeles, beautiful!!! If they had the technology back then and captured her (Victoria) true dynamics that may have won my heart! :) none the less it was beautiful enough to sweep me of my feet. Thank you for pointing her to me.
Yes, Irwin, her timbre is incredibly beautiful! I'm so happy you liked her. Good art must be spread and appreciated!!
Love how she sails onto the stage like a stately battleship.
Excellent simile!
I love the way you worded this lol, I’ll be stealing this line from now on
Fabulous lady. I had the honour to meet her at Covent Garden in 1991 and kiss her hand.
@@mscott3918 Its a small world
😭😭
her control is RIDICULOUS on the high notes. all the other versions on the side bar are people rushing through the song and belting out the high notes as loud as possible. there is a care and fitness to this performance that she alone has. YAS QUEEN COME THRU!!!!
+britmus309 exactly!
I agree. She has FLAWLESS technique.
britmus309 la soprano mas grande que ha habido en España y mejorpersona
I think the tempo is a little slow but her voice is just so beautiful and expressive; comparable to Callas' version.
Its the unagitated_ness of her performance which makes it standing out....the ease of the highnotes... I agree with OP...most other performances I view on RUclips feel rushed...even strained sometimes where volume goes over beauty--- I wish they would still teach Bel Canto or would start to do so again...we need it back
Tears streaming down my face. THIS is what we must preserve! God given beauty in song!
Hard to believe that a human being is capable of this kind of beautiful sound. Aren’t we lucky to hear this deep expression? And know that it will forever live in our hearts.
I couldn't even understand a single word, but this song still made me cry.
Becouse Great Diva did a lot of mistakes . Only professional singers , pianists ect can hear them .
Anders Wang Its from Madame Butterfly and to see it performed live is a gift

This great lady laying it down so casually. Diva.
I can't believe this is the first time I heard this woman.... Her voice is absolutely beautiful.
How is it even possible to sound so ethereal and angelic. Its all most super natural.
It makes the soul cry in joy. Bless you for giving us something so beautiful and pure. humans are so awesome.
The control! The voice caresses every fibre of your soul.
That was one of the definitions of beauty.
Mujer española, hablando en aleman y cantando en italiano.
Realmente épico.

@@pepitavilallonga5997, veo que el fanfarrón es uno de ellos. Perfecta gramática, por cierto.
Y hablando Alemán con propiedad y chispa. Hacer reír a un público en Alemán, les cuento. Pero Monserrat lo logró. Y mejor no hago el comentario de la interpretación.

Isoroku1983 she passed on my daughters 1st birthday
She brings tears to my eyes when she sings. It breaks my heart that I can't sing. She makes it look so effortless and this is how I imagine a goddess to be.
Don’t feel bad, she started working on her voice her entire life.
😘🙏🏼❤️
I am hoping many of us will be able to sing so beautifully when we get to heaven
Why can’t you sing?
Q.E.P.D Montserrat Caballé. Una voz privilegiada, incomparable.

Her voice is so comforting, I feel safe just listening to it. We’re all privileged to have the opportunity to listen to this ♥️

Los españoles lloramos tu muerte. No sabes cuanto te echaremos de menos y cuanto nos queda en el recuerdo. Tu gran persona es equiparable a tu gran voz y profesionalidad. DEP Montse, el cielo ha ganado una gran voz.
Querrás decir los españoles y no españoles que les gusta o entienden algo del tipo de canto que ella interpretaba (una escasa minoría).
@@eexpmalful Yo diría incluso de música clásica en general
No solo los españoles. El mundo entero llora a esa inmensa artista.
que bonito
@@eexpmalful Incluso para los que no entendían nada. Al final son personajes tan relevantes que van marcando el paisaje de todas las generaciones por las que pasan, y cuando alguno se va te queda siempre un vacío, algo que te acompañó siempre se va y es en ese entonces cuando eres mas consciente que nunca de que tu también caminas poco a poco hacia ese final ineludible. Y cuando las despedidas cesan, es que está cerca.
Die Schönheit eines Menschen liegt nicht im Auge des Betrachters, die Schönheit eines Menschen liegt in der Hingabe seines Tuns, gipfelnd in der Aufopferung seiner selbst, zum Wohle Anderer. Madame wird für immer im Gedächtnis der Menschheit bleiben, aus genau diesem Grunde. Chapeau.
She makes singing this song seem so effortless... amazing.. the voice of an angel
Her voice to this song is like the stars to the night sky. Absolutely beautiful.
She kinda looks like that cool grandma that you had when you were a kid who would sing gracefully so that you can sleep. Wonderful.
I so get that
I don’t know what she is saying but I break into tears every time
Glorious voice! Now she is singing with Freddie Mercury and so many of our finest singers and musicians, wherever they are. RIP Montserrat Caballe!
Don't lecture me. You don't have that right. You don't know me.
Oh my god get the fuck out of here, you knuckle dragging bible thumped
@Azay Dee
I believe in one God,
the Father Almighty,
maker of HEAVEN and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation he came down from HEAVEN,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into HEAVEN
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.
I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the RESURRECTION of the dead
and the life of the world to come.
Amen.
Heaven must have an amazing choir.
@Azay Deelay calm yourself
Brings me to tears. The high notes sound like her voice isn't even human. A God given gift.
She doesn't even look like it's difficult for her. What a talent.
Her voice is incredibly beautiful, but as far as opera arias go, it's actually among the easiest technically, it's difficulty more in making it really smooth and in interpretation. But technically, it's not difficult. Listen to how she sings Preghiera from Maria Stuarda when she holds to a long note while the orchestra sings phrase after phrase, or Casta Diva. Opera singers are professionals, they are supposed to make it seem easy; otherwise, they are unemployed, kind of like ballet dancers who make everything look easy. They are also singing in 2-5 hour performances without a microphone and over an orchestra which is much more difficult than singing an aria in concert, and Montserrat Caballe is among the best sopranos ever, a legend.
jewelmarkess I so agree...
THE BEST!!
A beautiful, well controlled performance, evoking the gentleness and rather shy demeanor the composer intended for the young woman in the opera pleading gently with her father.
The sound she produces is tremendous, I could hear this forever:
Besser nicht Ewig sonst ertrinke ich in Tränen...
Götter sind mit Bescheidenheit zu geniessen...
For 3 minutes, everything else was immaterial. Nothing else mattered, it was just us listening to one of the most incredible voices to grace this planet.
Amen to that 🙏
I love your comment! Beautiful and true!
