She is Montserrat Caballé, my girl. One of the biggest opera stars of all time. Sadly she has passed away in 2018.
and she had the most beautiful smile
@@nelerhabarber5602 she´s clearly not american but british, at least her accent is. thus from europe.
And Freddie in 1991.
@@nelerhabarber5602 I was more horrified about not knowing Barcelona...
@@geraldherrmann787 Definitely UK. But since a year, this in not Europe any more.
The rock and roll legend, and the last great diva, the greatest soprano ever, together. A more perfect duet there never was!
It is Freddie. He was really starting to show the signs he was seriously ill at this point. And these 2 absolutely ADORED eachother. When he died it really knocked her emotionally. Now there are both singing with Angels in Heaven together once again
This was the first crossover between a rock singer and an opera diva in the history. Montserrat mentioned it was a great service towards the people who never listend to opera before, because their collaboration has definitely increased the popularity of this genre.Freddie with Mike Moran (the conductor in this vid) composed a whole duet album with beautiful music and lyrics. Pls, check out The Golden Boy and How Can I Go On at La Nit 88.
Nobody could hold a high, pure note like Caballe.
R.I.P. Freddie Mercury & Monserrat Caballé two of the most amazing voices ever lived..
Montserrat Caballe (Kah-bay-e with the accent on the last e) was 'nicknamed' La Superba by her Italian fans. Her voice was incredible and, thank the gods, she did numerous recordings during her career, many of them of classical music, but also some of popular. She had the ability to sing high notes softly but clearly - never attacking them to reach them like other singers might - just almost making them her friends forever ("Come here, little note. Let's make people smile. That sort of friend, you know?)
Freddie Mercury is unforgettable, a blazing talent in an equal but different muscial world. I am so so so so so SO glad that these two magnificent people decided to sing together.
Freddie has many strings to his bow and he collaborated with Caballe,a legendary opera singer in her own right as he thought she had the best voice he had ever heard,they remained great friends up until he died. I always love the genuine surprise on faces when they hear how good the song really is.. Great reaction and you certainly give this due credit 👍
Montserrat (or Montsey as Freddie called her) was a Spanish Soprano and one of his favourite opera singers. They did an entire album together, of which this is the title track. It was destined for the opening ceremony of the Barcelona Olympics but sadly Freddie died the year before. The whole album is a masterpiece, written by Freddie in collaboration with Mike Moran so if you want to check out any others you could throw a dart at the song list and it won’t matter which one it lands on. Freddie and Montserrat performed some of the songs at the La Nit festival, the Golden Boy is a standout but my favourite song off the album is La Japonaise. Wonderful watching your face during your reaction, priceless.
Completely correct. Here's the link to the album on RUclips: m.ruclips.net/p/OLAK5uy_m4JR7EeUnaJpUO_Va3ihcxxJp2Uu6drFI
This is the greatest duet ever, in music history!
I still remember when i first listening this . I was 9 years old and i felt overwelmed !
This is amazing . Pure Magic!
🇵🇹
Yo como catalán me siento orgulloso de que Freddie Mercury cantará barcelona con nuestra querida Montserrat Caballé 🙏
No había nacido tengo 30. Años soy bcn sigo 💑 de esta cancion
Quando é que a cidade de Barcelona homenagea estas duas lendas , estão em dívida para com eles ,merecia uma estátua numa das lindas praças de Barcelona. 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Here's a little backstory to this song.
- 1987, Freddie was at home since after finding out that he had AIDS, he stopped touring with Queen and he didn't know what to do with himself. Out of the blue he exclaimed "God, I wish I could have gone to see (Legendary opera singer) Luciano Pavarotti!" And his long term boyfriend Jim went "What's keeping you, take a plane to Italy and go watch him!"
- And so Freddie began to attend opera performances left and right. But it was when he saw Montserrat Caballé live that he stood up and exclaimed "That's the best voice I ever heard!" He made a few calls to her management and met her. The two got on like a house on fire.
- But when the subject of recording an album together came to be, Freddie found out how closed minded the Opera world is, NONE of the symphony orchestras he approached wanted to work with him since he was a lowly pop singer. So, Freddie went "Well, if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself!" and recorded almost all of the music himself using synthesizers and samplers..
- Montserrat for her part said that she enjoyed the recording process, Freddie and Jim were perfect English gentlemen and treated her like royalty. But her fellow Opera singers weren't so accepting. Singer Ingrid Bergman condemned Montserrat for having done the album and snidely remarked after hearing about Freddie's death that he "Must have screamed himself to death."
- Fast forward to the 2012, Queen's "We will rock you" musical was doing really well and the musical arranger of the show, Stuart Morley, went "Now let's record that album with a PROPER orchestration." and basically re-recorded the entire album using the London Symphony Orchestra, much like how Freddie had intended it to be.
The version with Freddie in a black tux is even more magical
One word 'PERFECTION',both Freddie and Monserrat just absolutely stunning.As an oldie born in the 60's,Queen and Freddie hold a special place for me.But i am so glad,the younger generation appreciate how amazing Freddie truly was.
Freddie wrote about meeting Montsy for the first time. He admired her so much & this collaboration was a dream come true. Quite the achievement.
Your facial expressions were quite eloquent!
Yes that was Cabelle and Freddie doing opera,they said opera and pop wouldn't work,but with Freddie voice it did,Brian may wàs conducting,you want to listen to Queen at Live Aid in 85, BRILLIANT,and Freddie had a saw throat, HAPPY NEW YEAR,IanXX
Freddie wooed Montserrat by sending her a track he wrote for her, Exercises in free love is definitely worth a listen
The Idol of Freddie is Montserrat Caballé
even as a young teen into a whole different genre of music at the time, this was one of those songs that you just HAD to have heard at least once.
looking back now around 30 years later, this is likely THE BEST duet ever made.
Monserrat Caballé (full name María de Montserrat Bibiana Concepción Caballé i Folch) - pronounced kah-bah-yeah - was one of the greatest Opera singers in history. She was a close friend of Freddie, whose dream it had been for a long time to sing with her. Now they both grace Heaven with their heavenly duo. :-)
Thankyou dear! Two legends, dearly missed ❤️
Check out Freddie's solo Exercises in free love, you'll be shocked
For all the build, you can never be fully prepared for the energy of that first chorus hit.
Goosebumps
Freddie in his early years was classically trained. He could sing opera himself, if he wanted to. This is the first time I've heard this. Loved it.
Actually no, Freddie was not classically trained, if he was he would have sung in a completely different manner. Every single documentary about him states that his family was dirt poor, he couldn't afford opera singing lessons.
LOVED IT!!! You need to react to Freddie Mercury singing "Time waits for no one" It´s a solo song recorded in the 80s and the tapes got lost. Only in 2019 recovered by the composer and he took Freddies vocals and added a piano to it. So we have for the first time ever Freddie in HD. It´s just amazing.
There will never be another Freddie, and sadly never another soul like Monsterrat. Freddie was astounding beyond words . Never in History has there ever been a rock-Pop singer, songwriter, and brilliant performer, who could produce the greatest platinum selling Epics of all time with Queen , and then turn around and kick royal buttock, holding his own on stage with one of the greatest Opera Diva's of all time . That guy definitely earned every damn letter in the word GENIUS.
Exercises in Free Love is a beautiful piece of music written by Freddie and shows off another facet of Freddie's phenomenal vocals. I think you'll be very surprised.
Actually Exercises in Free love was the demo he sent to Montserrat so that she could hear his capabilities at singing opera when he wanted to to this collaboration. She was the best Spanish opera singer, and she was so impressed with Freddie how he could change registers without having to work his way up or down to any given note, he could just jump there. If you listen to free exercises, please know, it's ALL Freddie, some first time listeners to that song actually believed it was Freddie on the piano and Montserrat doing the notes, but it wasn't, it was the demo Freddie had sent to her of his singing at very HIGH notes...lol
Welcome to the world of Opera. Freddie introduced a whole generation to opera. A wonderful introduction.
If you want Freddie to blow your mind like Monserrat..... listen to exercises in Free Love.
The chill!!!!! The fucking damn chill every fucking time i heard this song!
Best version is when in 1988 Barcelona got the olympics for 1992 .Its live at Le Nit this version blew me away literally .
As a Barcelonan that I am, it is impossible not to get emotional when listening to this song since it was the anthem of the best Olympics in history
@Mikey moo 🤦 with mr bean nothing to do with barcelona 92
If you would like a demo version of just Freddie singing with a piano, “Rachmaninov’s Revenge” is very eye-opening to the extent of his vocal range, and range as an artist.
Freddie wrote the song for her. She asked if they could sing it at the next olympics which were in Barcelona her home city and Freddie had to refuse and had to tell her that he wouldn’t be able to make it because he was dying of Aids
This is exactly why Freddie Mercury was a musical genius and a legend.
A great Queen song to check out is I Want It All.
Amazing talents! Thank you.
The whole album is brilliant love the original Barcelona album Freddie singing somebody to love and who wants to live forever live is also brilliant so many great queen songs to choose x
I love How Can I Go On by these two and, Who Wants to Live Forever, the studio version.
You should also react to other songs from this Barcelona album.. The Golden Boy, How can I go on.... Also, I recommend listening to Freddie's Exercises in Free love.. tones only no words!! You WILL be blown away.
La Japonaise is my face from the album. Just surreal
Wasn't that beautiful, now watch Queen doing White Queen live at Hammersmith it's mind blowing💛💛
Haha, yeah but that’s a whole different trip.
25 years ago I had the pleasure to see Monserat at an open air performance in front of the cologne cathedral. This was one of the most impressive moments in my life. If you want to hear something special : please react to Dimash Kudaibergen singing "Ogni Pietra" the fancam version or from his own channel and the song "Adagio" from the singer competition 2017. This guy has an 6 octave range and he is trained since the age of 5 years old. It will blow your mind. All the best from Germany 🇩🇪 and stay safe ☀️Petra
Watched your reaction three times in a row just to see your emotions again!!! Must be dead if you don't get goosebumps on this song!!!
That's a great reaction from you. Brilliant. Thanks a lot.
This made me so happy this morning. Thank you!
Brilliant...they did a whole album together. The Golden Boy with them both next please!!!
This song shows the vocal range Freddie had and how good a singer he actually was, a man that could sing anything, and was taken from us too soon. R.I.P. Freddie.
If you enjoyed that listen to how can I go on . They are every bit as good and they will take your breath away. Freddie said montserrat was the singer he admired most and went to see her live when he could. You could tell by her performance that she really enjoyed being up there with Freddie.
This was a honest reaction. Thx for sharing, and i completely agree: this performance is just wow
In 1987, I was 13 years old when I heard this song, and the expression I had was identical to yours. There are certain songs that go straight to the heart.
Different or what .I just love the variability and the difference of "Smiles" performance.Farrokh Bulsara Rocks.They both are now gone ! itsyourgirl Thank You for remembering those two great performers.! Kiitos
The actual lyric was representing how he felt wen he first laid eyes on her but he never spoke to her in that moment but he told someone both him and her will perform together before they ever met.
she was his idol......and she sung at his funaral for his special wish....only she......She was most famous opera singer in her time....Freddie loves her
Love it when you say "just watch my face" 3:48 and then unpause just at the crescendo going into the chorus :)
I can tell you really like that song I've seen you react to other Queen videos and I can tell you really like queen and Freddie Mercury I can tell don't even have to say any words I can tell by the reaction on your face and it's a privilege and a pleasure to watch you react to Queen when I can see you genuinely like them keep up the great work
Incredible song
The conductor was Mike Moran co writer. Recoded in 2 places Freddy overdubbed all the chorus parts. Composed in 1988 for the 1992 Barcelona's Olympics. Montserrat & the Spanish Olympics authority were like OK. Complete Hit.
E P I C !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Words unnecessary -- your face shows exactly how I feel each time I listen/watch this performance! Thank you so much, from a new follower 🙂
This song was used to open the Barcelona olympics. Montseratt was a world reknowned opera soprano and they had a deep friendship.
Freddie was in his life a big opera fan and also a big fan of Montserrat. And one of his greatest wishes was to sing a duet with her. And as they met together, Freddie told her his wish and she replied: "How many songs are normally on a Pop-LP?" And then she said: "We should make a complete album together, not only one song."
This song was written by Freddie Mercury after he was approached by the IOC (International Olympic Committee) to write a song for the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games.
Moin aus Hamburg or greetings from hamburg (germany)
Every time i see this video i get goosebumps. It was a really great moment. Now they both sing in heaven together.
Freddie will never be seen again , not atleast for another 1000 years . He was a genius - you should be humbled . Please show respect.
Freddie just proved his voice was just as powerful as any opera singer.
It was absolutely amazing!
Freddy once said that she had the most amazing voice he'd ever heard. I believe he wrote this song in the hopes that she would do a duet with him.
She asked him to write the song so they could perform it together.
Rock Opera - as was Bohemian Rhapsody. And what an incredible combination. Freddie and Monserrat Caballé.
Wow 🥰 loved it 😍 thanks liked subscribed 😁 more queen reactions please 😍❤️ Freddie Mercury ❤️
Love this pure talent
I’m one of the honoured, having seen Queen several times, during Opera, Races, Jazz, Game US.tours. Wouldn’t trade the experience for £2m!!
Freddie's greatest moments
Fantastic reaction... thank you 😊
thank you fot this reaction you are the firt one i saw that is not only focust on her
That lady got pipes!
Caballe was reluctant to do an album with Freddy because, as she said, "Who wants to hear an old fat woman singing rock?" She was so very, very wrong.
Montserrat was not reluctant to do an album with Freddie. In fact, it was she who suggested they do an album (instead of just the 1 song they'd agreed to, for the Olympics). Her concern was about live performances, to promote an album. She worried that he'd be uncomfortable performing with someone of her age & weight, though I never heard her use words like "old" or "fat" to describe herself. In one interview, recalling their conversation, she said something to the effect that she questioned him, saying "but I am older and I am big & you are not."
This song is genius. Nice reaction. 😊
I just wanted to add that I love you're Welsh accent!

Please listen to How can I go on from Freddie and Montserrat. You will love it
I get the point that you were trying to make (I think).
It's a totally different genre of music to what you are used to seeing Freddie perform, but that is exactly what makes him so unique and so special is that he can turn his hand to this (very different type of music, which you can clearly see) but yet he's able to do it really well and doesn't look in the slightest bit out of place.
The reason I think that this is possible is because Freddie has long had a love for Opera music in general and was already very aware of Monserrat Caballe.
Freddie Mercury minus his moustache.
The song is called Barcelona, and is written by Freddie Mercury. After he had been approached by the IOC (International Olympic Committee) to write a song for the 1992 Olympic Games that were to be staged in the city.
Monserrat Caballe is an opera singer who Freddie had greatly admired and who is from Barcelona funnily enough but she also became a friend of Freddie Mercury's.
Sadly, Freddie Mercury obviously died before the Olympic Games.
And the conductor is using a light saber as a baton!
Thanks, Girl! ... and there you have it! they were so in love -- :) -- other people have already told the story -- Freddie wrote a whole album for her - and for them to do together -- I hope you listen to more -- especially "How can I go On?" - you can see how much fun she is having - she can't even help lip-synching with Freddie's parts -- ruclips.net/video/ksNoe8W2jTc/видео.html
As an interesting modern comparison, find the 'Barcelona' by Ruhan de Toit and Amira Willighagen version done live in concert. The cell phone, blueish, out of focus version is the best, as compared to the studio version. She is a young amazing singer. I think she was around 14 when she performed this in South Africa.
They are both singing at a command performance, before the Lord God! 😀😀
All the peaople always think that pop is a branch of rock'n'roll. But it isn't. Pop is a branch of classical music. From that reason it is only consequent when rock-/ popmusicians sometimes make an excursion to classical music. Like Freddie here or Paul McCartney since the 1990s.
Nie dość że ładna to jeszcze z dobrym muzycznym gustem !!
Taka kombinacja nie zdarza się co dzień ;*
The best soprano ever and with fredie ❤
Great reactions! Just subscribed. :)
Always loved this song will be my favorite for life. You want another listen to Andre Bochelli n Sarah brightman Time to say goodbye
Beautiful Xmas tree!! It matches your eyes 👀💙💙
Truly a musical love affair!! THE GOLDEN BOY … NEXT.
You won't believe this, but. I remember one day as I passed your House you must have been having a bath. I could hear you shout out this song. Can you believe that?
To hear Freddie actually singing opera please react to Exercises In Free Love , x
2 Monster talents!🤘❤🤟
You are muy girl. I think the same as You. If i have to travel in time, i woul go to all Queens preformances. And Barcelona, I would save it for last. It IS such closure for a Queens, s journey
At first Fredy did‘nt wana do stuff like this, he thaught it wuld ruin his Rock still thing, but i‘m soo glad She and some other sayd him to try it out
Amazing reaction 😀
Monserrat Caballé was Soprano..one of the best or the even the best
Let's hope they are somewhere singing together still
