Anthem Barcelona - Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé

First time i've ever seen this video, or heard this song for that matter...

Freddy Murcury is incredible... like who can sing with an opera star, and hold their own... let alone ROCK IT!

And Brian May is conducting with a lignt saber...

wow..

Love his voice.

like who can sing with an opera star, and hold their own... let alone ROCK IT!

I am completely bias and uninformed, but Freddie is on another level than that opera singer. Not just vocal cords, but everything else he does.

When the olympics were in Barcelona they would finish every single night with a live shot of a massive fountain, with this song blasting out.

Epic. Every. Night.

I've seen them singing together before, but it was wonderful to this again! Thank you!
Freddie is missed and loved dearly.

I'm so jealous that you're just discovering this work. When the big Freddie Mercury box set was released many years ago. I could of afforded, but saved before I bought it so i could savour the flavours. If anybody had surprise bought it for me, i would of married them, right there, right then. Man, woman, animal or mineral. This box set included many early demos of the Barcelona album.

Freddie recorded the pieces before he had Montserrat. He sings her parts in these recordings. Absolutely astonishing.

My favourite track from the album is 'The Golden Boy'.......youtu.be...
(sorry, not sure how to 'link it')

Just as a bonus bi. Freddie turned down Andrew Lloyd Webbers offer to perform the Phantom Of The Opera, as he was busy with Queen. The job then got offered to Michael Crawford, Mr Frank Spencer.

Yours ears are going to be happiest ears!!!!

Best Regards

Alas, this is a fake. It's a guy called Marc Martel. A good impression of Freddie, but not the same.

An insight into his soul this one of Freddie's best .........




Then while doing some browsing I came across this from two of the

very best ever who were gone too soon.


RIP Freddie and Micheal you were the best.
