Freddie Mercury was a man of many talents and many different sides. The songs he wrote for and with Queen filled stadiums around the globe and have rightly gone down in history, but he also embarked on a solo career that took him from the clubs of Munich and New York to the great opera houses of the world.
He was the ultimate showman, but he kept his private life away from the prying eyes of the media; a larger than life rock star who loved disco, classical music and ballet. He was a restless spirit, a true chameleon who revelled in his own contradictions.
All the different sides of this iconic musician can be found on Freddie Mercury: Messenger Of The Gods - The Singles. All formats released September 2nd 2016.
This wonderful 1987 video, capturing Freddie Mercury's unforgettable collaboration with Spanish opera diva Montserrat Caballé, accompanied the very first single from the 'Barcelona' album (which was to follow a full year later). This unexpected and unlikely merging of talent took the world by storm, and this was the first of three singles released from the album. The Director was David Mallet and it was filmed at Pinewood Studios in London. The single was released in the UK on 26th October 1987.

Everybody is commenting about Freddie but forgetting that Montserrat is legend herself. And she is so underrated.
right i agree :)
She is awesome bu no one can beat freddie mercury
Underrated? By who? aka La Superba.
@aileen wournos this is certainly not your name.
I know zero about Opera, Except the power of the voice it’s equal to no musical instrument I believe it was her graciousness to sing with Freddie mercury who may have been at the top of his Genre - I don’t think anyone in the history of music has ever done anything so beautiful
Freddie said she was the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen, I agree.
So do I. RIP to both of them.🙏😓🙏
Humildad Montserrat caballet, de padres humildes y trabajadores, .
Una beca le cambio la vida, por ke era y es un gran voz.
Visca Catalunya, la tierra de esta Diva y gran Mujer❤
Yes , indeed. I beleive too .
Caballe is ONE IN A MILLION AS A SWEET WOMAN PLUS ONE OF BEST SOPRANOS EVER IN OPERA HISTORY .
And Mercury being part OF ONE OF BEST ROCK STARS IN MODERN MUSIC HISTORY !
Be a good person in life. Because when you get to heaven, these angels will be singing live for you!
I was thinking the same…this is what you hear when you enter heaven!
❤
On last Saturday, my mother has left this planet.
She loved them both. My mother was 95. At the funeral this song was played.
Duet wszechczasów cudownie
All of us who read your words extend to you our sincere condolences.
Thank you very much! @@VideoWatcher2280
May her memory be a blessing. What a special song to honor her.
@@MeredithAnne88 Thank you for your kind words!
Can we just take a moment to appreciate Montserrat's majestic voice
Very underrated. Seen a lot of comments talking about Freddie only. Surprising.
Absolutely fantastic woman.
@@mgscoelho Be the change the world needs or stop crying
If you feel so inclined even pompous...she is truly one of a kind
even with a singer like mercury present, i just find female voices extraordinary
Freddie mercury is the greatest of all time. End of discussion.
period.
It's really!!! Great!!!!!!!!!
Yes
No one comes close
Freddie and Michael Jackson
You can see on Montserrat's face how much she is enjoying singing with Freddie ❤they are singing like two angels together
He tried for years to put this tune together with her it's a mix masterpiece

But he didnt look very often to her eyes…. Anyway amazing 😍👌
No puedo evitar emocionarme con esta obra de arte, a parte no solo admiro a estos increíbles artistas si no como catalana que soy esta canción me toca de lleno. ❤
I get goosebumps whenever I hear this timeless classic.
Barcelona '92 is probably the peak of Olympics as a cultural event
What's also worth noting is that, contrary to some other cities that organised the Olympics, everything built for the event is still in use. The Olympic stadium dated from 1929, and FC Barcelona currently play there. The swimming pool is still in use, and the Olympic Village is now an up-market residential area. There's very much a before and an after 1992 in Barcelona.
In case you're wondering, we took a bus tour yesterday, and this was all explained. Woke up in Ciutat Vella this morning, to the sound of birdsong, and arrived from El Prat just a couple of hours ago.
Agree. The most memorable Olympics event
Freddie could literally have sung anything in any genre. A true legend.
Indeed. There are not many Rock singer who could perform next to an opera legend and not look like school boys.
freddie*
Facts!
Exactly....it could be anything is right...He might have been the best voice of our generation...gone to soon💜🎶
NORA
Now they are both singing with the Angels....✨✨✨
😔❤️
Yes❤😢

Well.... Freddie did say he wanted to go to hell.
😍😘
Two Queens, Two Divas... What a duet!
One of the most memorable moments in music/theatre history.
Underrated comment. I appreciate the creativity.
Sod off calling Freddie Mercury a queen. Dick
Yes ..but the bands name was Queen ..and I'm an Irish Queen also
.love u and miss u Freddie ❤
.
Clearly she hits notes most people could only dream of...but her TIMING is just bloody impeccable
Their chemistry together is flawless.
Supposedly, it was his approach to her with the idea of the song, how had carefully planned out the song that endeared her to him.
She said the same about Freddie. Her timing is based on Freddies compositions.
Magnifique duo et superbe interprétation de Montserrat Caballé et Freddy Mercury c'est très beau ❤
Her range and delivered effortlessly with such beautiful precision.
One of the 3 great sopranos in her day. She was nicknamed La Superba.
"And if God willing we will meet again, someday".
This is not a song; this is a monument.
is a jewel
Couldn’t have put it better myself Daniel. This will live forever. It was a gift to us
I agree with Jane Kirk - this is a monument that will continue to stand. It was also a moment in time.
Daniel Conde Freddie mercury was the second coming of Christ
wrong its a piece
Apparently Montserrat Caballé was one of the only people that could match Freddie in the showoff diva department, and Freddie has stated that he was both a fan of her and opera in general. Singing a duet with one of your heroes like that, that man was seriously living the dream.
And he deserved to
Couldn't have said that better myself!😊🥰
He was dying there just imagine if he was fit c
Yes he was. His own personal dream. It makes you believe in hope and all the good things Freddie wrote about. Good post
I saw a documentary from a Japanese channel and Montserrat said there she wouldn't do Barcelona with another one unless she sees someone really special out there
There's a reason why they call Caballe "La Superba"! The queen of opera and the queen of rock n' roll unite!
Just as they sang at the end...friends until the end... She adored him and he her. Now they are probably singing together for all the angels to hear.
man can u imagine that choir?!!!!!
This duet is not talked about enough.
I NEVER KNEW ABOUT IT !!! i am shocked
Dzis araby jebia BARCELONE
What is there to say, what good would talking about it do?
but, we know it's here & can share it 'til it catches on
Ohh my gosh how amazing this duet their voice both fantastic
“We will meet again some day”
I’m sure you both did, Rest In Peace Freddie and Montserrat ❤️
God bless them both 🙏
Montserrat don't die in 2018
@@PabloSanchez-rq6krShe died on 6 October 2018
What a gift they left us here ❤..
I almost cry lol, I read this at the same time they sing this part
Montserrat’s voice is amazing. She fills the whole room with sound. The power of her voice could knock down a wall.
And Freddie stays with her all the way. As someone said, he can sing anything.
This performance in the opening of the Olympic games in Barcelona is a forever song
I’m not really a fan of opera, but this. This is art.
And so is opera ^^
Absolutly!
The combination of the two genres enhance them both.
Rock and opera you would never thought would of gone so well together its a masterpiece 🥰
Listen to Patrick Cassidy's Dante piece from the movie Hannibal, the most beautiful piece of music ever.

Google says today is Montserrat's day. I listened to Freddie and Montserrat for the first time. My body trembling. So miraculous!
This is how I got here as well
👍
ME
same!
Same ☺️
The goosies i get when i hear this song are just unreal ..........wow
Somehow I've never heard or seen this before. Absolutely jaw-dropping. Freddy was like a human supernova that burnt out far too soon.

or in hell...but with the great voice
E morta anche la buona musica
Who says there going to hell they didn't do anything bad
he himself said he is going to hell becausr of interesting people..he knows what he said. he knows his roots he knows what he did. He knows what he'd lived.......Research
It's the year 2020...and i really think there won't be another duet like this in the history of modern music. Freddie, Montserrat...thank you, forever.
I have to agree and I think it's because no one has ever made such a mix of rock and classic opera.
closest thing we have these days is ed sheeran and Bocelli's Perfect Symphony
No because today's music artists do not know what music's about
True you ca`t find another. Here both can sign.;]
Alex Emme .pure bliss x
Everything about this song is so magical and majestic. Freddie Mercury and Montserrat singing together is so powerfull and beautiful
Parece aqueles sonhos que a gente sonha e não quer acordar de tão lindo que é .❤❤❤❤❤
I believe this is maybe the bravest thing ever attempted by any artist . Forever a queen fan
3:07 when she sprinkles him with that note before the bang 🥰🥰🥰
Montserrat adored Freddie and you could see it when they sang together. He adored her too. What a wonderful match!
I thought that. You can just see in her face she is totally enjoying herself being on stage with Freddie
Sad that they were only on playback together. Freddie had voice issues in 1987 at that time.
Да, они были в Восхищении друг от друга, поэтому дуэт божественный!Как они смотрят друг на друга: восхищение талантом, а у Монсеррат ещё и любовь, как у более великой, да ещё и женщины! Сколько слушаю - только слёзы восторга!!!))
Can we appreciate how each performer's body-language perfectly encapsulates their singing style? Montserrat, flowing, graceful, hands open and inviting. Freddie, quick, powerful, direct, clenched fists evoking strength.
God what splendid performers.
I notice that too but didn't know how to articulate it. Thanks for pointing that out!
I too appreciate you pointing this out about their body language/movements. They are both perfection. He is a god.

Esto, es simplemente perfecto. La imponencia de Freddie, y la elegancia de Montserrat... Fue la combinación ideal, LLORÉ 😭2 veces viendo esta majestuosidad, ahora imagino desde el fondo de mi alma, cómo sería el momento en el que ambos se reencontraron en el cielo, ver el final de este video me hace pensar que fue algo así dicho reencuentro, se me hincha el corazón💜, ahora ambos están deleitando a los ángeles con sus maravillosas voces allí arriba, y nosotros seguimos aquí apreciando estas bellas obras, hasta que llegue nuestro momento de reunirnos en otro plano terrenal de nuevo. 🤍🤍🥰🥰🥰 *¡GRACIAS!* Descansen en paz. 🤍🤍💯💯💯
Хорошо сказано❤
I am from Barcelona. When the TWO QUEENS sang this wonderful song for the very first time I cried. Of happiness. ❤❤❤ Rest in peace, Freddie. Miss you 🥰
She's dead too
Freddie Mercury was a freaking music genius and an excellent singer. His was the only one to be on par with an opera voice. This was an incredible performance.
I agree, though I think maybe the young Elvis could have made it too. If you listen to the notes he hits on "It's Now Or Never"
Geoff Tate
So many people talking about Freddie (alright) but forgetting about Montserrat is a bit disrespectful to me. I mean, come on. Excellent DUO
adam lambert or axl rose could have too , axl rose have 7 octaves in hes vocal
Not true at all, plenty of contemporary vocalists could easily establish that.
4 legends
- Freddie Mercury
- Montserrat Caballe
- Mr Fahrenheit
- Mr Bad Guy

Caballe is , fairly , considered ONE OF BEST SOPRANO OPERA SINGERS EVER .
And SINGING with THE BEST OR ONE OF BEST ROCK STARS , MERCURY...UAU ! COULDN'T BE BETTER 😊
Это исполнение - замечательный симбиоз двух талантливых людей, относящихся к разным школам и жанрам музыкального искусства, просто потрясает!!! 🎉
Как человек которому под 60 и пел еще в СССР- всякие крейсер аврора на тв - это не люди а Боги в музыке.....И почему разные школы - Фредди таки оперный певец ...
@@aspirinaspirin2220Фредди, рок-певец. Он не поёт, а кричит. Это не критика, а факт.
Фредди ни разу не оперный. У оперных певцов совершенно другое звукоизвлечение. Он мог бы стать великим оперным певцом, но не захотел.
Так любое пение это контролируемый крик.
I agree with you…and anyone who limits themselves to only one genre of music is simply robbing themself of beautiful musical experiences. 🕊
Freddie's high notes are incredible here
lolz lolz there are hardly high notes sung by Freddie here

I am so so sorry for that my Oupa passed away on Valentine's day😭
three years ago
I am so sorry for your loss💔
Condolences, look , its hard but the good thing is now she can listen to them without recordings
When I was kid, this didn't really float my boat, but as I grown up, I can give Freddie huge kudos for this project. At the time I remember him saying something like 'I challenge any other rock singer to make an album with a genine opera diva and survive!' - he wasn't wrong - he's totally holding his own with Monserrat, and moreover they're singing his own material. He's doing what he loves and he knows he's doing it damn well!
Perhaps the ONLY time Freddie's voice was overcome by another. A Queen of Opera with the Queen of Queen. Majestic.
i love how montserrat and freddie actually look like they are having real fun singing this :D
WCML Traction : they did. Follow that chain of thought to find out more.
@@tonybrooks8677 They loved each other! I remember how well they thought of each other. Both brilliant artists - matchless talents! Incredible!
They were having the time of their life! They grew so close and Freddie's dream of composing and singing an opera came true..... God Bless you both.#Montsy#Freddie#Barcelona
@@arslp Montsy actually sang at Freddie's funeral, which was an extremely private affair. I know he would have been happy...They did it. There is such a beautiful love/friend story here..❤❤
#RIP. To Monserrat Caballe'.
What makes this thrilling is Freddy's muscular vocals combined with Caballe's beautiful but equally powerful voice. She matches him in sheer firepower, moves like the wind, and can hold a note longer than a mortgage company.
This is a great comment!
@@katrinablackwell5174 Thank you. I'm not an opera specialist, nor much interested in rock music, but they were an inspired duo. It's the magic of the music that brought them together. Freddy said that Monstserrat "IS music", and I have no doubt that this is true for both of them. If only they had recorded more-- Freddy in opera and Caballe in pop music. For them, It's like turning on a faucet, and the music pours out.
"hold a note longer than a mortgage company." ahahahah
@@williamdonahue6617 Well said! Only just noticed the lyrics & song is like a tribute to their collaboration & adoration.
The voice of a soprano is much more powerful than that of any singer. I love Freddie, but MC is another level.
After all these years, this still gives me the shivers. Immortal song and immortal artists ❤❤
Máte ''''''MÁŠ POJEM ČAS'''''''''. tY ZMRDE ????? THANKS'YOU georg Lemon
Back then, when I saw my not yet husband, I knew. Got married. He passed away. I still love this song
How many artists today can hold their own singing opera? I can probably count them on one hand. A true talent lost too early.
Rachel Welty Have you heard Nicole Scherzinger and David Garrett do Lo ti penso Amore.? She has an incredible voice too.
@@reencarl8998 no but I'll check it out
Nicole Scherzinger (she did actual opera, Carmen i think), Nick Jonas (he did Les Mis), and Josh Groban literally stood in for Pavarotti.
None as great as this masterpiece. I wouldn't even need a hand to count on. In fact, the numbers are probably in the negatives.
He's not singing opera here, but rather singing with an opera singer. Freddie was an incredible talent. I love the fact that he loved all kinds of music, including opera. This performance of "Barcelona" is truly something special.
1:51 That Freddie voice.. untouchable.
The whole thing is fantastic but yes that moment is Freddie par excellence. spine tingling
Without Montserrat this song would not have been so beautiful..
Gerade möchte man noch an dieser Welt verzweifeln und dann sowas 🥰
Unbeschreiblich ... Demut und Schönheit 😌
Two angels, das beschreibt es wohl am besten 😇🙏
👍 perfecto
33 years old & still better than anything in the charts
Fakiun
without a doubt
Facts. Music is not as passionate now.
Feel great emotion everytime....like a jewel in the sun..
I'm 25 And I agree 🥺
Being able to hold his own while singing with an actual opera singer just goes to further prove how great Freddie was. What an exceptional human being that man was. Amazing performance from both of them.
An AMAZING performance from both of them yesss. AGREE.🌹🌹
It's so sad that both of them are gone. They were exelennt.🌹🌹
Madre mía !! Que bonitas voces
Que viva la música . 👏👏👏👏
And not just any opera singer...this is the Montserrat Caballe
Being able to sing with her with full blown aids. By this point Freddie knew he not only had aids but that he would die soon. Before one of these concerts with her, he was extremely ill. The doctor wanted him to cancel because he was so sick but Freddie refused and the show went on.
Have you seen how Freddy is looking at her? Like a goddes
Mir geht jedes Mal ein Schauer über den Rücken! Es ist unglaublich, was für eine Dynamik, Kraft und Verbundenheit existiert. Das Projekt hat sich ausgezahlt. Klassik meets Rock. Wonderful!
wenn man bedenkt, dass beide großartigen Künstler nicht mehr leben... Ich liebe diese Aufnahme!!! ...und beide Künstler!!!
I am 60 and a classic pianist but Freddie is the only artist i still cry about. Amazing man and genius 👏
Everything you said, except I'm a year older. Freddie is still my idol. He was a brilliant musician and artist, and a beautiful soul. ♥
А зачем плачете?
Freddie Mercury is absolutely irreplaceable
Thank you..I told my husband I cried when Freddie died and he couldn't understand that.
I come back to this when needing a boost
Ahhh..so this is what we hear when we get to heaven...
M C I would love that.
Fingers crossed 🤞
When I die and go to heaven I want to hear this going through the gates
I hope the first thing I hear his this when I get to Heaven. And of course they’d be preforming it in person 😊 ugh they’re such legends Freddie is my role model
That makes perfect sense. I feel happy now inside
Queen and Fredy's fan... but, Montserrat is a legend, what a voice!
Montserrat is probably the greatest female singer ever. I guess singing with her would be like playing football with Pele yet Freddy is anything but intimidated. What a great performance to leave behind. People will still be listening to this hundreds of years from now.
Forget Elvis, Michael, Madonna, Beyonce and Prince. To me Freddy will always be the greatest.
Absolutely !!! 😍
Korilian O Well... all the people you just mentioned all are really talented people too.
Those people are still awesome though
Coffee GAMING network Is that a joke? Elvis has an amazing tone.
Don’t disrespect the other artists....especially Elvis. Elvis will NEVER be forgotten.
This was Freddie's real dream and he nailed it. If auto tune was in his time Freddy would have said take that and stick it. Most amazing voice ever.
Freddie would outperform autotune. By far.
Was entirely lip synced sadly
@@houdinismith5613 ?
@@trisakkhanal1036 freddie was very sick by this point. Did not sing this live
And to think he sounded this good when he was already sick.Some greatness there
There was a time when truly phenomenal music was created.
What a Gift to hear that duo.
Montserrat and Mercy Gods Gift to the world
I love how they were both completely themselves, and at the same time are so comfortable working with someone from such a different musical world. Each of them was a genius and a diva in their own way, yet they shared the stage and worked together seamlessly. This was a moment for the world to treasure.
Couldn't agree more!
That's the power of music and of friendship. As a testament to how close they became on a personal level, she knew about what he was dealing with at the time, and only a small handful of people could claim that.
They almost certainly would have done more work together professionally too if... well, if Freddie had more time. I read somewhere that they wanted to do The Phantom of the Opera.
Agreed!!!
Well said
@@odinfromcentr2 It was meant that they should perform the song at the Olympics in Barcelona but Freddie told her he thought he couldn't make it.He understood she thought he didn't want to so he told her why.She wanted to visit him the last months but he said he wasn't presentable.I think it was a song from Phantom of the opera she had recorded for him she played for him over the phone.And later she sent him the recording.

This video is truly amazing in every sense.
Its only playback.
I have to keep coming back to this masterpiece
Freddie admitted that he was nervous and scared to death to have to perform next to the legend :) How many times has Freddie been made to feel like a schoolboy??? This is and has been beyond great. What a pairing.
Still remember the pain in her eyes when she was interviwed years after his death. You could see the love for Freddie
I'm a fan from way back in the day. I've heard Freddie sing many songs. But the songs he wrote for Montserrat gave us the Greatest vocal performances of his life. The planets aligned or something because the music they made together was truly something you only see once in a lifetime. They were perfect together.
Absolute masterpiece

Hey everybody give Montserrat some love! She was an amazing singer
She was but this is a video with Freddie in it.
We may never hear another voice like Freddie’s ever again. These videos immortalize him.
Not may... we will never hear another voice like that, it was his passion to the music that has make his voice and person, today´s and future´s singers will never have this option again. the capital of greed has taken over the business, so he was one of his kind
Look up Mark Martel. He’s Freddie reincarnate

Says so much about Mercury’s voice when he can sing next to an opera singer and not pale by comparison.
Tarantulas & Lhasa Apsos His voice even stands out on emotional charge, not that she is not good
Everybody within a mile radius of this had to use plastic beer glasses coz she kept shattering the glass ones.
I'm about to comment that
and not just any opera singer ........
Pure genius. No one else could pull this off and thank God he had a mind of his own and done this epic pioneering song. Ho0e the music industry learnt their leason 🤫👍
I ain't crying. I'm producing liquid admiration from my eyes.

Kerorofan, what a lovely comment. Same here !
Две звезды, исполнение шикарное. Жаль что их уже нет с нами.
Happy Birthday to a legend - always loved, always missed.
Sadly, this was the beginning of Freddie Mercury's decline in health. But no matter how bad it got, he still fought to the finish and made awesome music. He refused to let it taint his spirit. What a bloke!
Love this comment. Well said James.

Cheers to that!
2022 and it still gives me goosebumps. Two legendary artists together perform a legendary song .
Oh yes, me too!!
Me three!
I feel the same…it gives me goosebumps!!!!!!!
Your telling me. Lol for real
Listening to the song is an experience within itself. Even to say that this is a masterpiece it's simply not enough.
In '92 when I heard them for the first time I didn't know why I was crying. Today, at 44 years old, I cry again (like every time I hear it in these years) and I understand, perfection excites and they made something perfect.
The lady and the scoundrel. So beautyful.
Montserrat's hand gesture at 3:08 look like she cast a spell on Freddie to belt out Barcelona.
Yes! Such a nice performance from them both!
hermafroditt I couldn't agree more
such a delicate hand gesture, I wouldn't have noticed if it weren't for your comment
Suzanne-Abigail Claxton When he first saw her on stage, he felt she did cast a spell on her
The lady could make a grown man cry , so beautiful was her voice ! And she adored Freddie , the greatest entertainer of his generation .
More like the greatest showman and front man of any generation!
Yes , I agree , so sad that now he could’ve lived a normal life
she didnt just adore him she LOVED him as a true friend.....she was present with his mother in montreaux, geneva, when they unveiled his memorial statue and she was in tears! she sadly passed recently also........both are among the other gods and goddesses right now!
Freddie had a absolutely amazing voice ,this gives me goosebumps !! 2023 and I don t think they has ever been a duet like this to this standard she is also fabulous the two of them are just so comfy together ❤️ total legend freddie RIP xx
Montsie is also resting in peace.
This was Freddie’s shining moment!!!🎉❤😮
Montserrat Caballe - is the voice of an angel. Throughout her career, she has performed with some of the biggest names in lyrical singing. The Duo with Freddie Mercury, released in Barcelona in 1987, became the anthem of the Barcelona Olympics in 1992. Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe - Barcelona forever ! Eternal memory. . .🙏❤🙏
Arches represent portals......what is meaning behind this production?
Incredible song, incredible performance of two genius of music! Freddie was seriously ill in those times and dying from AIDS, but didn't give up and continued to create his immortal masterpieces. Both had a magic powerfull voices! Freddie and Montserrat will never die in our memories and in our hearts!
Well said
That's when two extraordinary, exceptional talents together have mastered the art to perfection!
My God. Two angels singing. I am in heaven.
No importa cuál es tu estilo de música preferido, si no te emociona esto, no tienes sangre en las venas. Simplemente SUBLIME.
Apetece me copiar esta msg porque contém tudo o que penso sobre este Magnífico Hino!!!❤❤❤
Magnifico aun es poco para clasificar esta joya
estoy de acuerdo
Elle est magnifique 🌞🌞🌞❤️
Es muy cierto, me sentí muy emocionada casi hasta las lagrimas al descubrir esta joya ....
Thank you, Montserrat Caballé, for giving Freddie Mercury the chance of a lifetime, by performing Barcelona, which was the used for the 1992 Olympic Games, just months after Freddie Mercury's tragic, premature death. RIP Freddie, Mr and Mrs Bulsara, Freddie's partner, Jim Hutton, and not forgetting Montserrat Caballé. 😥❤
@@harshab4084, I hope so, too, in my humble opinion.
@M H Doobs, yes, I am praying for her, Freddie Mercury, her family, Freddie Mercury's sister, her family, Freddie Mercury's parents, and his partner, Jim Hutton, too. She should have been on Freddie Mercury Saved My Life, with Alfie Boe, a TV documentary telling the story of how Alfie Boe made his mark, in opera music, cos she was a legend, in opera music, as well as Freddie Mercury, and Alfie Boe, in my humble opinion. 🙏😥❤
@@harshab4084, thank you, very much.
DIOS ME AMA
@@jesuscabana SI !
te AMA
Freddie Mercury was a genius.
This is what happens when you pair 2 of the best voices humanity can produce. Freddie left us too soon... Monstserrat loved working with Freddie ... it had started as a single song for the Barcelona Olympics... she persisted... and it turned into a collaboration album :) Love both, miss Freddie so much.
Each time I'm listening to Barcelona, I am proud to be from Spain and that Monserrat ruled the world with an angel voice. Needless to say that the world also has lost a great singer as Freddy...
I listened to this as a kid. I knew nothing of music then. But I somehow knew Spain gave the world a gift with her. A fantastic duo
Thank you Vicenta.
I'm spanish too but please Freddie not Freddy
@@AndrewBarsky is catalan singuer not spanish😉
@@ricards5070 1st written correctly would be: She is A Catalan not a Spanish SINGER (singuer don’t exist in English, some respect). 2nd you don't know English. 3rd the comment did not refer to her city or what you may think is a nationality, he referred to her COUNTRY AND FROM WHAT I KNOW AND EVERYBODY KNOWS (EXCEPT FOR YOU ILLITERATE) IS SPAIN.
Every single time I'm listening to this, I'm crying like a baby. It's just unbelievable how you can literally hear them feeling the music, their talent and their passion. This song is absolutely overwhelming.
I told my son that Freddy Mercury had an operatic range and power that was unusual for a pop singer. And here we are in this performance seeing two of the most incredible singers to grace the stage. I am very moved and in awe
@ThatGreenDayFreak yes indeed!
So powerful
He is still not singing here with any opera style. Just same shit as with Queen.
@@FinntrolliSUOMI well of course he’s not singing in an operatic style. That’s not what he’s known for. However he’s got great range and power and energy. Love him!
same here, its just incredible
GREAT !
TIMELESS !
GREAT VOICES !
MAKES CRY AND LAUGH BY PUSHING MY DEEP FEELINGS .
MY MOTHER, DAUGHTER OF MY GRANDFATHER WHO WAS BORN IN BARCELONA.
BOTH REST IN PEACE WITH GOD .
GOD BLESS , ALSO , MERCURY AND CABALLE (OPERA GREAT SINGERS) .
Mercury was a great Rock Star Singer but , before , he studied and sang Opera very well too
So my young friends, two legends sound at their best.
