Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballe | BARCELONA (REACTION) 

Dreaming Music Freddie always admired Montserrat, when they met she asked him to write a song about her hometown Barcelona. This was in 1987, the song got so big it was chosen as the theme fro the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona. Freddie had died the year before Montserrat refused to sing the song with anyone else so they played the video and she sang a song called "Amigos para siempre" (Friends forever) with Spanish tenor Jose Carreras. Montserrat was one of the few people to whom Freddie confided his illness he truly loved and trusted her. She said he was a totally different person from his stage persona. Montserrat died in 2018. She was a great soprano, was known as La Magnifica.

I adored your expression on hearing Montserrat hit that gorgeous top note! So soft, clear and beautiful. Caballé was his idol and he wrote the song for her. Looking forward to the next upload xx

They both must be singing to the angels everyday.

Loved it and no not first time.. Heard it at the time and its the most exquisite blend of opera and rock.. These 2 were completely and utterly in musical love with each other... Lovely reaction 💐

I constantly listen to the loveliness of Freddie and Montserrat's collaboration. I'll never forget the first time tho'. Blew my mind. Thank you for reacting. It was wonderful watching and hearing you enjoy them. All the best to you.

Montserrat Caballé and Freddy Mercury are two legends who live on forever, even though they have each left us. RIP. I love you Freddy and Montserrat. Thank you for this wonderful reaction.

I love Freddie Mercury and this is one of my favourite by him that he created with Mike Moran and Monsteratte Caballé ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ can you react to Queen the show must go on and innuendo please new subscriber ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I got a Queen song for you. How about SOMEBODY TO LOVE the live version from the concert in Montreal back in 1981. You going to love it. Much love to you my sister. Take care. QUEEN BEE.

Great song to celebrate your success! You deserve it. I enjoy your reactions 🎶😍 and I am proud to say I AM a Freddie fan as well as Montserrat’s. Glorious song, glorious voices! He wrote the opera for her. You can’t go wrong with them. 👏👏☺️❤️

This is a very beautiful pop/opera "crossover". If I may suggest another one: Zucchero (a blues/rock singer very popular in Italy) and Pavarotti (one of greatest tenor ever) - Miserere ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XQy2NAEwh1M.html

Absolutely Monserat Cabelle & & Freddy Mercury❤️❤️💞

"...we will meet again, some day..." Freddie and Monserrat were very good friends...at the beginning Monserrat didn't want to sing with Freddie...she said...I'm old and fat...Freddie was astonished by the incredible voice of Monserrat and he convinced her to sing together...this is one of the greatest performances of all times! Unfortunately Freddie hadn't the time to perform "Phantom of the opera" he had planned to sing with her because he died at the young age of 45...the whole world still misses and will miss forever the best rock vocalist of all times! I'm 54 and I grew up listening to Queen and Freddie...I know each song of Queen and I think Freddie is a music genius and nobody can compare to him!

Jamás en la historia de los Juegos Olímpicos tendrá una canción como está impresionante no hay palabras

You truly are an old soul. Watching the music fill your emotions. Either people feel opra or they don't. Awesome reaction.

Dos grandes ya fallecidos, 😇😇😇🌹🌹🌹💓💓, greeting from Spain🇪🇸.

Loved your reaction here Dreaming girl - the wonderment on your face was wonderful to see. ❤

Your reaction was priceless! You may want to react to ‘The Golden Boy’ and ‘How Can I Go On?’ I am a 79 year old classically trained coloratura lyric soprano, and I watch every reaction of these three songs I can find.

Queen front man was freddie mercury they are a rock band. Freddie did dabble in other types of music like this song Barcelona. Another 1 he did as a solo was living on my own filmed during a house party he threw. Check that 1 out he did it for fun. People started to fear he was leaving queen but during a concert he put the rumours to bed saying that they would never split up.

Great reaction. Please react to Nadine Sierra, a great opera singer. This is from her concert at La Fenice Theatre in Italy ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WtQDrYXIISM.html Kisses!!!

You should listen to Guide me home / How can I go on ..fantastic... and Golden Boy. I believe the Golden boy is Freddie in those lyrics. Or listen to Freddie's Exercises in free love...no words tones only. Beautiful.

“ Por ti seré gaviota de tu bello mar” RIP Freddie an caballe

I was so impressed the first time I heard this! Montserrat has a beautiful voice but Freddie... wow!

Barcelona olimpic games 1992

Please listen to Pavarotti and Eric Clapton holy mother

I second watching Queen 'Somebody To Love' live in Montreal 1981. You will be amazed by the performance. Freddie Mercury had a beautiful voice that could sing any type of music. From rock to pop to opera. He's a Rock Icon for a reason.

Beautiful channel! Subscribed! ❤❤

Малишка, я тоже люблю Монтси Кабальє.

I recomend you more Caballé. O MIO BAMBINO CARO. You'll get goosebumps. She was one of the greatests in opera

It was recorded five years before the games, but the song was played a few times during the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. They were one of the best summer games, set in one of the most beautiful cities in Europe.

❤️❤️❤️ loved this reaction!

freddie said that she was the most beautiful woman he had ever met

I heard it for the first time in 1992 during the Barcelona Olympics. It was amazing then and is just as amazing today. Thanks for sharing. I'm so happy you had the opportunity to experience it.

Something Freddie always wanted to do. He loved opera growing up. The lady wanted to do some material with him. She was a renound suprano. The golden boy is another one they did together. Another is guide me home and how can I go on hope you react to these

Some other songs from the Barcelona album is how can I go on, the golden boy, ensueño, la japonaise are ones I personally love but it'd be great to do the whole album ❤️

The golden boy and How can I go on of them!

here´s a suggestion for hitting high notes in a completely different genre: DEEP PURPLE : CHILD IN TIME (album version)

Wonderful reaction as always. I would love to see your reaction to Andrea Boccelli and Sarah Brightnan. Time to say goodbye. I think you would love it.

Beautiful, I have heard it before, but love it more each time I hear it. Your reaction was priceless, keep up the good work.

"Take it, Mona" - is that her nickname? I know I've seen the clip. (Edit - clicky fingers, one of us! Hello!)

You're too cute! 🙂

I hope you loved it...Thank you so much

Hallo I’m a hugse Queen-fan, love this song get goosbombs and tears in my eyes every time I hear this marvelous song, it was used for opening of the summer olympick in 92....poor Freddie died of AIDS in november -91. I have a big wich to you. I whant you to play A Winters Tale with Queen. Its taken from Montreux Freddie was very sick so you dont see him, but my God what a powerful voice, wonderful lyrics and dreaming beautiful video, its like a dream.

Listen to "Who Wants to Live Forever" from Queen Wembley July 12 1986

You've caught up after all these years before you were born we have been blessed with Freddie's performances when he fronted Queen. Try Bohemian Rhapsody.XX

que buena reaccion, es una cancion fabulosa, te recomiendo que reacciones a una cantante que querrás oir todas sus canciones se llama MONICA NARANJO una de sus canciones es EUROPA LIVE, espero que te guste

Freddy loved Montserrat's voice and asked to meet her after one of her performances. They spent all night singing at the hotel and Freddy said «I love music, and she is the music». This song was used at the olympics of Barcelona'92, but she refused to sing without him. Freddy said to her in '91 «I'm sorry, I'm not going to make it that long». He didn't. She died last year RIP these two big ones.

Sweet and nice girl. You should listen to IL VOLO " Grande amore " . 😍

Reaction to Freddie Exercises to free love . It was out on the B side of The great pretender . He wrote it before this but used it as a demo . It wasn’t written for her as people will say. It was just something he through together because he needed a B side but again he used it as a demo and told Montsy that is what he called her he told her he wrote it for her and you know even though it was before he might have right . But he told her he wrote it for her. .he was brilliant . He didn’t use orchestra because he wanted to control it but it has been since done by money hi hey ppl . His ppl.

Please,React Diana Navarro "El Perdón" official video

I think you'd enjoy watching James Brown and opera singer Luciano Pavarotti singing "It's a Man's World" together. They're fire!

Para mi fue el más sentido de todo lo que compuso Freddy fue una despedida, poco antes supo de su enfermedad

Thankyou dear!! Please please please I hope you will react to more Queen (band) and Freddie (frontman) I suggest Is this the world we created live at Wembley. An amazing song, still actual ❤

This is so beautiful sung by two beautiful singers RIP Freddie and Monty

Beautiful beautiful🤗

Kate Bush....this woman's work

Gives you chills

Please, react to Suddenly by Olivia Newton-John and Cliff Richard. You will enjoy it.

VIVA BARCELONA!!! DOS SEMI DIOSES QUE ERÁN AMIGOS, COMPARTIERON ESTA JOYA Y LOS DOS ESTÁN CON DIOS PADRE...

They were friends when alive.

I listen to this at least pnce a week

Just subscribed your channel. You’re very congenial! Loving these videos! Love ❤️ from Brazil 🌟

I like your vibe! You look like a very nice person, and that colour really fits you :) good luck on your growth! I hope you can stay very positive :D

They touch your soul

First time I heard this in 1990 I instantly made it a top song of mine........was actually a promo event song for 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games......masterpiece.....BRAVO BRAVO!

in answer to your question, yes this was my first time hearing the song as well! i'm glad the first time i did was in with the video format, because if i had only heard it audio, given my relatively minimal knowledge of queen, i would have taken the opera singer's inclusion as somewhat gimmicky (not in a *bad* way, but nevertheless). but it was not at all that! love the insights in the comments from other more knowledgeable viewers, too. and, as always, love experiencing it with you--feeling the music. lesson: i somehow still underestimate freddy, and i need to STOP THAT, and i love your channel.

From other reaction videos, I think this song was unfortunately not known in the US but it definitely was in the UK, but I'd forgotten how amazing it was. I've now bought it from iTunes :)

That song opened the Olympics. The story of Freddy & Monserat meeting & recording together is brilliant (google it) :)

Since this song was released back 1988, it is my all time favorite song made by a duet. You've heard two words of Music one from Rock n'Roll best voice ever and an Opera Diva.

❤

I really enjoyed your reaction, thank your!!! It's one just beautiful song!! I think it's firts collaborarion between a rock singer and an opera singer, and they were friends for the rest of the years that Freddie was in this world, rest his beautiful soul in peace. It's such a magical song!!

I love your reaction......such joy and appreciation.....❤️

Великая песня! Великие исполнители Фредди и Монсерат!!!

Great reaction. I've seen this video many years ago and it was always funny to me that Freddy gave his 150% and Moncerat was taking it easy. Loved it, shows you the difference between real opera singers and even best of the best rock/pop singers.

Could you please react to Florence and the machine the dog days are over thanks 👍
