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.

Our beloved Freddie Mercury said, it was his lifetime dream to sing with her. He did, he was humble enough to say she was the most beautiful lady in the world. ❤
Its not that freddy is humble, he is honest and genuine, his appreciating the beauty of her angelic peformance. For you idk you probably thinking woman must look like sslvts
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
MONTSERRAT .......... una legítima voz .......... una gran artista ........ y un ser humano lleno de sencillez y encanto . Nunca olvidaré sus palabras .... YO 8 Nunca olvidaré sus palabras . Yo creo que es maravilloso pasar por la vida siendo como uno es .
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!
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
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
I was reading this comment while listening to the song, thinking "hmm, I wonder if I've already reached half the song... turns out it was a couple seconds from over. Wow
@@squidy7771 I was showing this to my grandma and I listened for what I thought was 30 seconds and then I'm like wait why is there no sound, I didn't realise the song ended
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 👏
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.
The best O Mio Babbino on the Internet. I've listened to thousands of "prodigies" on Got Talent shows and professionals but Montserrat makes it personal beyond a great voice.
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.
@@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!
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.
My mum said she cried when she listened to this she didn't know what the words meant but she could hear the emotion god bless my mum xx a Catholic daughter marrying a Protestant Irish mama god bless you in heaven xx
Given that this song is about a daughter tearfully asking her dear old father to let her marry a man he might not approve of, I think she may have understood the lyrics in her soul.
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.
I am condolenced to all the Spanish people with such a loss. Montserrat was a Great Singer. She was a friend of the Armenian people and will forever remain in our hearts. With love from Armenia
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.
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.
@@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.
She is using a microphone. She's being recorded!! Also, she's in a large hall. She does need some amplification......however, I'm just impressed that she can stand so far back from the mic. Amazing projection.
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.
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 TH-cam 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
Simply sublime! This shows the greatness of Montserrat. What I most like about this performance besides perfect tempo and great interpretation is how unlike most of the sopranos that will hit that high note always forte, she makes it to a beautiful and tender pianissimo as I believe it is meant to be done.
Rare were sopranos to carry a vocal volume to pianissimo to volume. Zubrin Mehta was very taken by her controlled musical line. Her color and timbre just speaks of one bella voce...that is 'La Stupenda" Monserrat Caballe 🌹
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.
Every video I've ever seen of her,she's smiling,laughing and,more often than not,giggling.She had an incredible voice which,yes she took seriously but she was always having fun at the same time.There desn't seem to be anyone in her world who had a bad thing to say about her apart from the fact that sometimes they couldn't concentrate as her giggles were infectious.

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.

Yes!!!!!!💜💜💜💜💜
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!
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
I've ALWAYS known her voice, but not her name.
Now I know her name.
And yes, she is ABSOLUTELY A GODDESS.
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.
"Our time" includes Maria Callas?
@@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
@@renzocavani6524 yes

My grandma used to sing opera and she passed away in 2016. This reminds me of her so much
It really lasted 4 minutes? It seems like passed only few seconds. Is beautiful to listen while she's singing
I was reading this comment while listening to the song, thinking "hmm, I wonder if I've already reached half the song... turns out it was a couple seconds from over. Wow
OMG SAAAAMEEEEE !!!!!!!!?

And GTA 3 too

Yeah 😂
Yes, me too. I think I heard it on Shawshank Redemption too.
I'm usually not a fan of opera but oh wow, I could listen to her voice all day. What a beautiful voice she had.
Exactly this!!
Anche questa donna è fantastica. Tra l'altro parla molte lingue.❤
Thats why Freddie Mercury loved this woman.
Agreed!
Agree!
Iwas a dream of his to duet with her, and one that came true ❤
I couldn't even understand a single word, but this song still made me cry.

Good Bye Montserrat. Thanks

I never will forget her singing with Freddie Murphy either.

Opera has some boundaries. With Freddie, I was able to break them.
- Monsterrat Caballe
Thanks Spade, perfect response to the imbecile comments about Freddie M. and M.
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?
I absolutely love, Montserrat Caballe. This is pure magic, therapy! Best regards from POLAND
Those high notes, so effortless and pure, like sunlight on the dawn of a spring morning.
Perfect

The best O Mio Babbino on the Internet. I've listened to thousands of "prodigies" on Got Talent shows and professionals but Montserrat makes it personal beyond a great voice.
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
😭😭
She has the most delicate soprano voice I have ever heard. I could listen to her all day. What a voice!!
This type of voice will not be heard for a very long time to come
She was a legend a humbling experience to listen to her
Can you imagine what the birds would think if she sang in the forest
They would shut up and listen
it reminds me of that one spongebob episode where he was singing and all the jellyfish came and started making him fly lol
They certainly would and feel upstaged to boot
They would thank God for such beauty.
how lucky we are?
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.
No wonder Freddie was a big fan of hers. What a wonderful connection and admiration they had for each other.
Une immense artiste et une femme de coeur. Merci pour ces moments d'émotion à vous écouter. Reposez en paix, grande dame.

Thank you, Freddie Mercury, for introducing me to one of the most beautiful voices on the planet.
Her beautiful, so expressive facial gestures, her gorgeous outfit and the high notes. WHat a miracle she was!

And with Luciano Pavarotti too.
My mum said she cried when she listened to this she didn't know what the words meant but she could hear the emotion god bless my mum xx a Catholic daughter marrying a Protestant Irish mama god bless you in heaven xx
Same with me now😥
Given that this song is about a daughter tearfully asking her dear old father to let her marry a man he might not approve of, I think she may have understood the lyrics in her soul.
My eyes got watery all of a sudden...Such beauty cannot be described with words.
You Tube needs a feature where if you come back to watch and re-watch a treasure like this, you can like it all over again - and again and again.
Most beautiful rendition ever, bar none. Incredible!

I am condolenced to all the Spanish people with such a loss. Montserrat was a Great Singer. She was a friend of the Armenian people and will forever remain in our hearts. With love from Armenia
Don't be to all spanish people but to all lovers of classical music, the nation plays no role at all in this most beautiful artform.
This great lady laying it down so casually. Diva.
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.
Someone give this woman some roses and a magnum of champagne, that was hauntingly beautiful. Thank you for sharing 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.
😢 es imposible que mi ojos no se bañen de lágrimas al escucharla cantar , grande Monserrat❤
Rockstar knows how to choose a song
Hello
They sure do but where does this one can be heard?
@@fl260 In the 10th anniversary trailer for gta3 (remix)
Awwww shit here we go again with more GTA comments
Yes but. Can't make a proper remaster for shit.
I can't believe this is the first time I heard this woman.... Her voice is absolutely beautiful.
She's about 5 feet from the microphone!
not taking the merit out of her, but those are shotgun microphones, they are supposed to be sang from a far
She is using a microphone. She's being recorded!! Also, she's in a large hall. She does need some amplification......however, I'm just impressed that she can stand so far back from the mic. Amazing projection.
@@pedrosilvaproductionsShotgun mics are directional? They would only pick up the singer?
gives that effect you are hearing her as he walks home across a square
Masters of Bel Canto just like Pavarotti
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.
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 TH-cam 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
Her voice is so comforting, I feel safe just listening to it. We’re all privileged to have the opportunity to listen to this ♥️
Simply sublime! This shows the greatness of Montserrat. What I most like about this performance besides perfect tempo and great interpretation is how unlike most of the sopranos that will hit that high note always forte, she makes it to a beautiful and tender pianissimo as I believe it is meant to be done.
Rare were sopranos to carry a vocal volume to pianissimo to volume. Zubrin Mehta was very taken by her controlled musical line. Her color and timbre just speaks of one bella voce...that is 'La Stupenda" Monserrat Caballe 🌹
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....
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!
Tears streaming down my face. THIS is what we must preserve! God given beauty in song!
Carismática, espléndida, única. Una hermosura de mujer en todos los sentidos. En Mexico adoramos a esta diva. 🇪🇸❤️🇲🇽.
Brasileiro também aprecia uma boa ópera 🇧🇷
Every video I've ever seen of her,she's smiling,laughing and,more often than not,giggling.She had an incredible voice which,yes she took seriously but she was always having fun at the same time.There desn't seem to be anyone in her world who had a bad thing to say about her apart from the fact that sometimes they couldn't concentrate as her giggles were infectious.
She makes singing this song seem so effortless... amazing.. the voice of an angel
Her voice is the most sublime instrument there ever was. I cry every time I hear her. There will never be another as beautiful as she was.
I couldn't agree with you more!!!!!!
Exactly, her voice is front and center. The orchestra is almost an apologetic afterthought. I wish I could have heard her sing live.
Watching in November 2024
Her delivery was so gentle. Just like her spirit. Absolutely lovely, lovely woman.
