It gave me chills! Freddie was a true master of his art.
This performance is mesmerizing. Perfection!
Freddie saw Montserrat sing and said she had the most beautiful voice in the world. He invited her to sing and there started a mutual love. She was devastated by his death...😢
Yes😢 But they are together now in heaven, I believe. But God I miss her 🥺🖤
I am sitting here sobbing. I have listened to the song four times, and I just can't stop crying. That beautiful, soaring voice, silenced forever. What would Freddie be producing now? How can I miss an artist so deeply? I am not the fan girl type, and Queen was big when I was in high school (graduated 45 years ago) so his voice isn't new. Knowing he wrote those gut-wrenching lyrics, and then sang them so touchingly with the great Montserrat Caballé . . . tear wrenching. Beautiful, astoundingly majestic, and a beautiful reaction. Thank you.
Beautifully written. What an awesome tribute to the one and only Freddie. 💖
@@Ann-st8et…to them both now ….we lost Montsy too.😓🏴🇬🇧
I'm so glad he got to do this before he died. It's wonderful to see another side of his talent.
Freddie and Monsterat became very close friends. She one said in an interview, “ he loved me very much and I loved him too”. Please check out “The Golden Boy “ from this same album, it will knock your socks off, I promise
This is the first time I've ever heard this and it gave me goosebumps! There's also a sense of deep sadness.
I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong; however, I think I remember an interview with Montserrat in which she says that Freddie's eyes were welling up so she reached out her hand to offer support. He may have been overcome by her amazing talent (he adored her), or that fact that he knew this would be his last time on stage. Great reaction!
Yes, that's RIGHT... She said he was realizing that this would be his last time performing onstage and this was like his "goodbye" to live performing.
@@DemokratiedesProletariatsyou can see If you look at him. But ist doesn't care. He sang it. Ist's his voice, his power, bis love.
And don't forget he wrote and composed the music on this album--he was uniquely talented as a musician not just a singer and performer.
They had great admiration one to another. She was one of best soprano voices ever with voice control out of this worl.
My brother had me listen to this the first time. He passed 18 months ago..
So I treasure this and many more Freddie songs😢
Awww man, sorry about your brother!! 🙏🏻
I miss Freddie so much. These videos always make me emotional. He was such a gifted vocalist and songwriter. An enduring talent that will never fade.
👏👏👏Montserrat remembered to that night this way: "While he was singing, I noticed that his eyes were shiny with tears. I gave him my hand. He clasped it and kissed it. It was clear he was suddenly aware of his own fate. They were tears of farewell. It was his goodbye, at least to the stage."
In terms of Freddie we don't have to talk about his vocals only, but his manners, passion and emotions delivered to the audience and of course his unforgettable stage presence. The Golden Boy from the same event is amazing, a bit more theatrical and dramatic.
Great reaction. Freddie and Montserrat adored each other. Montserrat was one of the few people Freddie told that he was dying of aids. During this performance Montserrat noticed that there were tears in his eyes, so she moved closer and held his hand. If you want more listen to them singing Golden Boy.
They are special together. ❣️
Yes. The Golden Boy please.
Absolutely stunning performance!!
He didn't need to tell her. She knew what the mark on his face meant. He was openly walking around with it on show in early 1987, and she told him he needed to cover it up.
She said everytime she saw Freddie she treated it like it was going to be the last time
They both loved and adored each other, so much respect for one another. He was dying when he did this.
True....but we are all dying at every moment of our lives, linda...
Montsy was “captivated.” The opera star said Freddie’s work was .. “magnificent. It is something very special, it is created from the heart.” She even tried to persuade him to record some pure opera with her. Gotta do THE GOLDEN BOY, music by Freddie & lyrics by Sir Tim Rice. 🌙⭐️💫✨
as she said - she was conquered by him . there was true love there . a love only 2 true musicians can feel .
My favorite Freddie and Monseratte song! Loved your reaction, it's so great to see younger people learn about Freddie and Queen. Their music will live on forever.
There is another version of this song that starts with “Guide Me Home” and then transitions to “How can I go on”. It is incredible
Freddie!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ And she LOVED him!!!!
Freddie was an Opera fan and she was his favorite. I believe he said on Spanish radio that she had the best voice he ever heard. In 1986, he mentioned on Spanish television that he would like to meet her, and they met for the first time in Barcelona in February 1987. She had already been asked to do the Olympics and once they had a "love at first meeting" moment she asked Freddie to do a song with her for them. In an interview somewhere here on YT Freddie said he thought the one song would be it. Ended up she wanted to do more so they did 2 others together. For the actual Olympics she went on stage alone but they dubbed in Freddie's voice to sing along with her.
Bottom line is they became close and fast friends and cared about each other deeply.
Maestro’s Mercury & Montserrat ❤ the most beautiful love affair in music for life 😢
Thank you for such a respectful reaction 😊
Greetings from Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦
This is the first time I've heard this. What struck me was they've been on stage together before and she was still shocked by the power of his vocals.
If this is the best you've heard of Freddie's voice, I strongly recommend avoiding the singles and dig into the albums. You Take My Breath Away is one of the most staggering performances you'll ever hear
So true, Live at Hyde Park and then the studio version! Helluva doubleheader!
Absolutamente irreal,es como escuchar musica del cielo!!!
When you can belt out a tune that makes a legendary opera singer speechless, you are really amazing. I wish you could have seen him live. I can vouch that it was an awesome experience.
Thank you for a great reaction...apparently after Freddie died, rock stars queued up to sing with Montsy....her reply was...”no, only Freddie”🤩
Beautiful performance by both of them. Simply outstanding. Montserrat was Freddie's favorite opera singer, he admired her for years. He said something in an interview how he would love for her to sing one of his songs. Somehow the message got to her and she set up a time for them to meet. Honestly, Freddie just wanted her voice on a personal recording singing one of his songs. They met in Barcelona which is where Montserrat lived and they became fast friends. It seems that she also admired Freddie. Freddie intended to do one song with her but she then asked him how many songs are usually on one of his albums, he told her around 12. She said, okay, let's make an album. Freddie had to scramble and write a bunch of new songs because you just don't say no to opera's number 1 Diva. Yes, they became very dear friends. The first time I heard this I was just stunned but I had heard Exercises In Free Love beforehand where Freddie sings Montserrat's part of a song he was writing to send to her to see if she likes it. To hear Freddie singing soprano was mind boggling.
They loved each other best of friends
I highly recommend that you react to him singing “exercises in free love” he wrote it for Montserrat. It is basically his imitation of her singing style. It’s absolutely beautiful and so hard to believe it’s him singing.
Very beautiful!!
this is my favorite song with Freddie and Montserrat ❣️👑🎶
Montserrat said that her year working with Freddie was the happiest of her life. It shows.
Freddie is elegant in a tux's.
You should listen to Ensueno from this album, Freddie sings completely opera baritone/tenor. Yes they became close friends for the rest of Freddie's life. Great reaction
If you like the style of his singing here, I'd suggest "In My Defense" and "Made in Heaven". Such a good reaction!
One of the most extraordinary performances I've seen.
This is my favourite song ever. Freddie wrote the whole Barcelona opera in a couple of weeks. If you dont have this album, get it! It takes you through the storm & delivers you safely to the other side topped up with love, passion & the need to go on. Im a lifelong Queen fan & Freddie was & still is the dogs wotsits! Top tip, put ur headphones on, lie back, close ur eyes & just listen to every sound, feel every emotion it invokes in you. ❤best wishes from Caroline from the UK
Que puedo decir, es unas de las canciones de Freddie Mercury que mas me encantan, ¡¡¡por no decir la MEJOR!!!
Freddie's voice is also so perfect in the video MADE IN HRAVeN...please react to it...his range is incredible in this song...made in heaven refers to how people feel his voice is also talks about his illness "their turning me upside down, looking for possibilities, not to many around" .
Insightful reaction!!!!
I love this performance and at-the-same-time it makes me sad because this particular song is actually quite autobiographical for Freddie: At this time, he was keeping his terminal AIDS diagnosis a secret from almost everybody (including his bandmates; he didn't tell them until 1989). He had confided his secret to Montserrat, though... She had been excited about the prospect of the two of them performing "Barcelona" live together at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, so he told her that he wouldn't be able to perform with her because he would be gone by then.
Well Freddie wrote the song, no doubts he put his emotions about his condition in it
@@erdave2309 🙏🏻
Its 49 years since i first purchased a night at the opera They said opera was always freddies first love of music i always feel sad and tear up over the loss of freddie to this day😢
WOW!!!JUST WOW.
This is a stellar album! There are many goosebump moments on many of the songs. There are videos on youtube where you can hear Freddie making a recording of HIS voice for Montsy to learn the path of her part of the songs! He sings the melody of her part...in her key! He was just amazing!
❤tks for sharing my favourite Fred
Perfection in every way ❤❤❤❤
always brings lovely emotions
I always feel this is about Freddie. How can i go on. He found out he had AIDS in March 87. I also say that The Golden Boy is also Freddie. Read the lyrics. They really respected, admired and loved each other. Freddie was astounded with Montserrat and was actually quite frightened at the thought of writing songs for this most famous Soprano. She also admired Freddie too.....they became great friends. She was in the unveiling ceremony of Freddie's statue too in Montreux, Switzerland in 1996. She has akso passed away now.
💔💔
Freddie was a huge fan & wanted so bad to duet with her, as it turned out she admired him also & was thrilled, long story short they adored each other both as artists & as friends...❤
From everything I’ve read, and interviews from both of these performers… they truly loved each other. As others have mentioned the comments.. Freddie teared up during this song - you’ll notice they held hands through the end.. as Freddie didn’t let go. They were both giants in their ‘lane’ of music. I’ve heard all of the songs on this album many times… they’re all amazing! Thanks for a heart-felt reaction!
The brilliant pairing of Freddie Mercury with Montserrat Caballe was legendary, never equaled before or after, Freddie already knew that he had AIDS, but performed with her more powerfully than even he had ever dons. They have both passed away, (the great Montserrat in recent years) but their magic will live on forever. Thank you for presenting this and your excellent reactions. I am proud to subscribe. Well done.
LOVE this song and LOVE your reaction! Thank you!
That really did love each other, utterly Amazing, jut the best, take care.
Yes that was his goodbye to this life for him I think ,, so sad ,,today we have a cure for a.i.d.s ,,but not at this time sadly,,emotional see him so young and so in love with his passion for music 🎼 I’m born in 62 ,in 80 we were all so scared about aids,,QUEEN was my youth.,good and sad memories❤
If you want to.know how much Freddie loved Montserrat read the words to the song Barcelona. It's not about the city, it's about Freddie meeting Montsy for the first time in Barcelona
"I had this perfect dream.
This dream was me and you.
I want all the World to.hear you.
Miracle sensation, my guide and inspiration"
Freddie heard Montsy at Convent Garden and said she was the most beautiful thing he'd ever heard and that the whole World deserved to hear her, so he made it happen. But it was years later. Off stsge Freddie was actually very shy, and he thought this famous opera diva would never want to sing with him.
Fortunately, her kids were Queen fans and in a Spainish radio interview Freddie was asked what he liked most about Spain and he answered Montserrat Caballe, and the rest is history.
They actually became very close friends and you only have to see how Montsy looks at Freddie when they sing together, to see how much she loved him.
This my favorite from the concert. ❤it makes me cry everytime I hear it.
Freddie Will live forever❤️
John Deacon played bass on this beautiful song❤I love this one..so much passion and admiration by both of these wonderful performers ❤Great reaction, thanks❤
Thank you so much that you are talkingv about this beautiful song!!❤ Sadly Freddie couldn't sing this song Live because on this day he had problems with his voice (it was because of his infection!😢)! The daughter of the great and unforgettabel Opera singer Montserat Capalle said that Freddie adored her and that it was an honor and a big dream of his to sing with her!❤❤ In this wonderful song Freddie shows again what a great voice he had!!He will always be unforgettable!❤❤😢
There are many lives that you will say it’s the best you have heard Freddie. He was truly a one of a kind. They did love each other. Freddie loved opera and heard her voice and said she was the best in the world. She agreed to meet him. They met in Spain and Freddie brought along a song he wrote for her and sang it showing he was serious. That song is EXERCISES IN FREE LOVE (check it out). They got along beautifully and Monserrat suggested they do an album together. At that time a Rock star never did a collab with an opera star. It was a first.
I really want you to react to White Queen live at Hammersmith Oden 1975. It will not only have incredible vocals, but Brian Mays guitar will blow your mind!!!
BTW, I watched Live Aid live on my TV on that amazing July 1985 day. When Queen ran out at 6:41pm and began their history making performance my jaw dropped. I had watched several groups since noon time and they did truly blow all of them out of the water. 1.9 billion people joined me in watching that day. It was truly an incredible memory. I still enjoy watching it on RUclips to this day. I have been a huge fan since I first heard Killer Queen on the radio in 1974 here in the USA.
I literally just got done watching Queens last concert with Freddie and found this gem of a video. We sure lost him too soon😢
Also, this was at the Barcelona Olympics
Una pareja tan inusual como impresionante!! fantástica reacción!!👏👏
Freddie was an absolute master of his craft. Singer, song writer piano player and so many more I can not name off hand. Monstie was a brilliant opera singer in her own right. First time I heard this my reaction was very much like yours, like WTF! Thank you for your reaction and you most certainly need to check out "The Golden Boy" and "It's Late" by Queen.
They had a genuine love and respect for each other I expect heaven is rocking as Freddie teaching the angels how to sing Freddie style
So how this relationship started was somebody introduced the record of hers to Freddy and he was mind blown and he said I have to meet her so they met in a lobby at a beautiful hotel and instant connection from there on. She has said that he was the best friend relationship she’s ever had .❤
Try listening to Freddie singing exercises in free love. 😀
She was Freddie's favorite singer/performer!!! Listen to their version of BARCELONA!!!
It was my first time hearing it, amazing!
You should watch joint interview done right before this performance for truth of the perfection between them.He loved her&wrote this for them to do.
Yes, Freddie is Legend...
Yes they are amazing ❤😂
Thank you So Much Your Reaction was Spot On ..."What the Freak!", "So Great Unfair" "Divine ", and Yes The Fountain Fulfills Is The Answer and I Believe Freddie Found it🙏✝️❤
I like the way she as teasing him at the beginning of the song.
Montserrat Caballe la mejor cantante de ópera española del mundo.freddy la vio y se enamoró de ella y dijo..TENGO Q CREAR UN ÁLBUM PARA CANTSR CON ELLA y así fue.fue de las pocas personas sabía s freddy tenía SIDA. Grandes amigos y confidentes.ya están juntos en el cielo
It's plainly about a lost love that seemed so perfect and now is gone. lyrically SO driven home by the music accented so well by these 2vocalists who are the tops in their fields yet they blend in driving the emotion of the song. Makes a grown man, like myself, cry.
FREDDIE MIXED HIS POP ROCK WITH OPERA 🎉❤ I LOVED THESE TWO I HAVE THEIR CD TRULY A BLESSING
Your open mind and emotionalism is what makes you special my friend. Patty 58 years old and love it all. Im open to all you bring. Thanks for sharing
I think Freddie loved “Motsy”, And she loved him. They had a great respect for each other.
Never heard this before. Wow this was awesome!
I been a fan of Freddie Mercury ,,,Queen since 1977 When I got out of high school ..Im 65 and still love Queen ,,,I collect anything Queen or Freddie Mercury ...
You need to also do Golden Boy. Freddie’s brilliant fusion of opera with rock/soul/gospel.
I love love your reaction. Yes, they became friends, after Freddie sought her out. I agree: this is getting to be my favorite of all videos of Freddie's singing. Like you, I feel both sad, and grateful that he was here, left too soon, but left us all this beauty. I also agree: this is mystical, almost a religious feeling, as if we are touched by something other-worldly.
Virtuosity. Melody. Outstanding vocal talent. This is what I find missing in a lot of music today where the emphasis has shifted to the production side of things and more synthesized and techno aspects of the music. I’m not arguing that the new productions do not require talent, it’s just a different type of talent. I am too old school. I just really miss THIS. Thank you Freddie.
Freddie was ill here & she knew it! You must listen to Golden Boy!!🎼❤️🎼🇬🇧
I cried through the whole thing. I was overwhelmed in a good way
They were very dear friends. It was a lovely friendship.
. . .and tho' this is a solo project of Freddie, he has Queen brother, John Deacon on Bass. That is mesmerising to me...Deaky so perfectly perfect with Freddie. Tears. BTW where are your headphones???? To me, Freddie's lyrics invite us to him contemplating how he will be able to make it through to what befalls him - his passing...he now knows he has Aids, in fact has discussed with Montserrat cause she wanted him to sing Barcelona with her in 1992's Olympic opening. He, of course, made her supposedly one of the very 1st persons he confided his condition to...and didn't tell others till years later. Told her he wouldn't be around to be with us in '92..
😢
Totally agree, he wrote as much as he could before he died , l still can't listen to those are the days of our lives without crying , the video just does it when he looks and winks at the end. We have lost the most precious person in our lifetime who had an unique ability to perform in the way he does, l still say the best concert after live aid was his last one at Knebworth Park, August 1986 , l was there . Sheer magic , there will be no long like Freddie Mercury
Thanks, Sebs - this is actually my favorite of their collaborations... I think you will also dig "the Golden Boy".. they were truly, deeply in love... lol
Truly amazing,.Best vocals of all timeLove and miss this extrodinary talent
Thanks Sebs for this program is a gift... Freddie the King... the most beautiful voice I've heard...
In my opinion Freddie Mercury is the best singer that ever lived he truly was a legend he had an incredible career and he loved every minute of it and that's what matters
RIP... we love you freddy. We miss you ............
Freddie was very ill and still singing strong and powerfull This song makes me cry.
Best male voice EVER!!!!
Love your channel ….Have watched the Freddie & Monserrat collaborations many times on your site👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Otra actuación que te sorprenderá de Freddie con la soprano Montserrat en las olimpiadas de Barcelona.
The Golden Boy
I love Freddy and all his work, and I've watched like 25/30 video reactions for real, to this music (which is a song for LIFE since I was kid), and by far you had the BEST reaction to Freddy and Montserrar that I have seen. You are nice and authentic. I could feel through you the power of the duo singing and how they broght such a marvellous spetacular performance.Thank you for the love to Freddy too!!
I still don't know you work here, I'm gonna watch more of ur videos, but I would really love to see your reactions to Heilung (Norupo, Traust, Anoana and Krigsgaldr) and Wardruna (Grà, Lyfjaberg, Helvegen, and Kvitravn). They will blow your mind. YT has all the videos of those. I'll be expecting it with love!
Congratz on the amazing reaction to Freddy!!
Las 2 mejores voces de la historia ❤❤
the greatest voice of all time❤
freddie mercury
Freddie was a gift from lord...for all of us 🇮🇹
Montserrat admired Freddie. Freddie loved Montserrat. Their friendship began in 1987 and they remained close friends. At Freddie's public funeral, Montserrat sang Freddie's favorite aria. Touching for Freddie was Montserrat's holding his hands during their 1988 performance (Freddie already having told her he had AIDs). That was something never done in that era to AIDs patients.
Music helps me through the difficulties of my Life 👍🏻
