Freddie was taken to an opera, was so impressed with her that he said he would love to meet her. When she found out she made it happen. They became great friends. At his funeral she was the only one who sang.
Makes me cry every time I see or hear this. Even the choir were gazing at him adoringly, knowing they were in the presence of someone that surpassed genius level. Miss Freddie so very much.
Freddie wrote this song so he could fulfill his dream-to sing with his idol Montserrat Caballé. This song was picked up by Olympic organizations as anthem for 1992 summer Olympic in Barcelona. Unfortunately Freddie died in 1991. Montserrat Caballé refused to sing this song with anybody else. As the result, in the opening ceremony they played the music of this song but no singing.( Caballé was there singing with a different program but not this song).this song also listed as one of the best anthems in Olympic history.
@@allreactions3281 She sang "Amigos para siempre" (Friends forever) with spanish tenor Jose Carreras but would not do "Barcelona" not with him or anyone.
Freddie is so versatile, he also sings opera and was amazing too..he submit the demo tape without lyrics to montsy-as what she wanted freddie to call her, and she loved it..they made an album eventually and was a success..
Freddie and Montserrat were really good about giving each other they're moments - largely in part because they had equal admiration for each other. They were both big fans of the other and were both so excited to work together. It really comes through! You should check out The Golden Boy next!
For people like me who live in Bcn is the perfect song. It's an opera & rock melody that rocks you! ...and of course is an epic song due to it was made for the 1992 olimpic games. Thanks for the video!
This never fails to give me chills, they were such good friends that Montsy was at the unveiling of Freddie's statue in Montreux after he died. RIP to Freddie and Montsy. I've edited this because I was an idiot and put Montreal instead of Montreux.
All Reactions It’s overlooking Lake Geneva. Freddie had an apartment there, overlooking the lake, while they recorded in the studio inside the casino (which they had purchased) It’s now a museum to Queen. He took notes of his view from the window and laid down some audio tracks. Queen released it on the album “Made in Heaven”. It’s called “A Winter’s Tale”. The video shows the view and Freddie’s handwritten lyrics. It’s beautiful.
Sadly Freddie passed away and the world lost a unique voice and personality. The beautiful lady also has since passed away to join Freddie in music heaven.
I would like to thank all of you for taking the time to watch this reaction video 😊 it means a lot to me! Make sure to SUBSCRIBE to my channel TODAY.
Montserrat !!!!! Maravilhosa !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow 🥰 beautiful sweet Freddie ❤️ Freddie and Montsy ❤️ the most amazing crossover duet ever 🤩 RIP to both legends ❤️
They had a deep love and respect for each other and it shows. This performance always moves me to tears.
He wrote it for her.
He loved her and she loved him.
Missing them both, the world is a sader place without his voice

Love the whole Barcelona album. A real masterpiece. Only Freddie could get away with this. A true genius!!!
Wonderful song for a wonderful city.

The statue is in Montreux, Switzerland, in case anyone's making travel plans...
I agree this performance gave me goosebumps ... high quality talents created a masterpiece of a performance 🔥
Interesting I didn’t know there was a statue from Freddie 🤔
@@pierre241 I'm an idiot, I meant Montreux and typed Montreal. Thanks hon.

Goosebumps
Love this one - nice reaction 🤗
But, Queen only once a month? 😢💔
Next Tuesday is bonus week more Queen songs will be uploaded 😉 thank you for supporting my channel 😊 and thanks for the positive feedback
We need more Queen please...but not the popular songs...the gems that people dont know.
Next two to watch are 'the golden boy' and 'how can I go on'...beautifully superb.
Awesome I gotta add those suggestions to my reaction to do list.... thank you so much 👍
At the end, at 7:09... I think he said to her, "You are wonderful." At least, that's my lip reading impression. Teared up a bit, I did. :-)
Montserrat Maravilhosa !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
