Just watched this performance again and it still brings tears of joy and chills over the magnificiant talent of this great couple. Can't wait for Katherine's new album with this duet on it.
Absolutly spine tingling, breathtaking and show stopping. Showed the excellent range and beautiful quality of these fantastic voices. A performance to remembered !!
I can understand people preferring the Freddie Mercury/Montserrat Caballe version - I do myself. But to make out this is in any way terrible seems to me like trollery (if there isn't such a word, there should be). I bet it was great to hear it live.
Reuel T Freddie Mercury and Monserrat did lipsync their Barcelona performance for several reasons. Hard to believe but Freddie was already very ill and he had to save his voice for the remaining Queen albums left to record. Freddie hated to lipsync but at least we have one great performance from him doing Barcelona. He was even ill when he recorded the Barcelona album.
Sorry - not for me. Too much vibrato and not enough emotion. Nothing will ever compare to the original by Freddie and Montserrat Caballé. Now that really was an awesome performance.
