Freddie was a huge fan of Montserrat Caballé. What he didn't know was that she was also a huge fan of his. Montserrat said that Freddie had the right tone for each note. Two world legends of music.

[@Bibiana862]

Brian May said when they first met and sang she imediately felt in love with him ,I am wonder if there is person who dont fall in love with him ♥

[@jeanpierrecolimbo4911]

je confirme

[@fl-g15ramirezscullylou87]

@@Bibiana862 I definitely agree since I'm only 19 but I'm sooo in love with Freddie.

[@vernhoke7730]

When they recorded this the Olympic commitee wanted them to sing this during the opening of the 1992 Barcelona games. Sadly Freddie wouldn't live long enough to do it.

[@Bibiana862]

Monsy sang it there with Freddie background record

[@danielcabrera9231]

Dear Montserrat Caballé was well known for her deliciously controlled pianissimi high notes

[@beagle8boy]

She was one of the great sopranos of our time. They had such an attachment to each other and their voices were perfect together.

[@flav2689]

No… Of all time - seriously 🖤

[@kleinnel]

I am usually exactly like you with women singing opera and normally can't stand them but everything that Freddie and Montserrat did together i absolutely love!

[@rebekaluizebudlevskamusic]

Yes... It's just brilliant.:)))

[@debramoore7513]

Goosebumps!!! I heard that before they performed together Freddie was concerned about what to do with his urge to move & feel the music but someone said have you seen opera stars perform? That’s all they do.. 😂😂 You can see it on Freddie’s face how fortunate he was to be with her!! You’re right ... Montsy showed great restraint & control singing with Freddie. Deep respect! Now you gotta do THE GOLDEN BOY, GUIDE ME HOME, HOW CAN I GO ON 🎼🎼🎼

[@rebekaluizebudlevskamusic]

I will try to do my best. Thank you for your suggestion.:)

[@mps9994]

Love your reactions :) Montserrat Caballé was a world renowned opera diva. Freddie was obsessed, and was so nervous before they met but they got on so well and had an amazing friendship. Mutual respect and in interviews with her after Freddie left, you can see how much she loved him. Would have been amazing if they had had the chance to do more music together. If you can, listen to the whole Barcelona album, it shines. RIP to both these legends

[@rebekaluizebudlevskamusic]

Thank you so much.:) I will try to do my best. Thank you for your suggestion.:)

[@xxx_phantom_xxxw_t_a9479]

This combination is always wonderful to watch / hear. Consider how different they are, nationality, gender, genre and age. And it shows that when the right people come together, the "impossible" becomes possible, when it is the wrong people, nothing is achieved.

[@Neil_BT]

Freddie is probably the only pop vocalist who could have pulled this off. Majestic.

[@debbiebush5887]

Great reaction. I never thought that FREDDIE could sing Opera. I knew that FREDDIE was one of the greatest singers ever but Opera. Well he showed us another side to himself. I guess I should never underestimate how talented this man is. To me FREDDIE is the greatest singer ever. Love this song. I also love HOW CAN I GO ON and THE GOLDEN BOY too. I also found another song that FREDDIE did called EXERCISES IN FREE LOVE where FREDDIE just goes off with the Operatic singing. Thank you BECKY for doing QUEEN I find out that my day goes better if I hear QUEEN play atleast once a day. Take care and have a good day. Your friend, QUEEN BEE.

[@rebekaluizebudlevskamusic]

Thank you so much.:) I will try to do my best. Thank you for your suggestion.:)

[@marciaeliasen4708]

Everyone knows what an outstanding talent Freddie was, but I want to thank you for your appreciation of Montserrat Caballé (Cah ball YAY). She passed in 2018 and was considered one of the last great opera divas. She was a Spanish soprano from Barcelona and while still alive, had a street in that city named for her. Known as La Superba, her breath control is legendary (she's known for holding a note for 22+ seconds) as is her pianissimo -- the ability to sing very high notes very softly which is not an easy thing to do (she does that twice in this song). Separately they were each outstanding in their own right, but together they were an amazing experience.

[@astridgunkel2230]

Montserrat was the best Singer of this world!!!!!!!!!!!!!She sung always with the best singer !!!!!Here with Freddie.............💜💜💜💜💜💜👍

[@nightgoblin29]

Noooooooo not this I'm gonna cry to this :) ..p.s, Montserrat was ( :( ) one of Freddies closests friends. There is a documentary or an interview where she speaks really emotional about Him.. I miss them both very much! Thank you once again for an amazing reaction :)

[@debramoore7513]

There’s a video out there from Freddie’s funeral & the unveiling of his statue in Montreux. The song IT’S A BEAUTIFUL DAY is being played. 😭😭😭

[@rebekaluizebudlevskamusic]

Thank you so much.:)

[@Fitgirlkate]

One of Freddies greatest moments...and there were lots and lots of them...but this took him to another level❤❤😢

[@fredatkin1568]

She has such a nice voice bloody hell

[@rubentullenaar2934]

If you want hear more from Montserrat Caballé, try “O Mio Babbino Caro” . You’ll love it, no screaming😉. It’s about her love for a boy of which her father does not approve of and she pleads to her father to accept him.

[@rebekaluizebudlevskamusic]

I will try to do my best. Thank you for your suggestion.:)

[@sst3d]

Lovely reaction...and so respectful, zero interruptions... perfect ...

[@rebekaluizebudlevskamusic]

Thank you so much.:)

[@andrewmckenzie292]

Like to think Freddie and Montserrat are now singing together in a better place.

[@Anisabell2]

These two were made to sing together 🔥🔥🔥

[@rebekaluizebudlevskamusic]

10000% AGREEEE

[@gunnerman2452]

I always get goosebumps every time I hear this. And I get goosebumps too when I watch the younger generations first reactions, especially when it comes to Queen

[@Herve5791-kp7nj]

At first, i just loved Barcelona.But with the time passing by, discovering the videos of the other songs, i falled in love with the other songs, even when Freddie was singing and working on the songs by his side before singing them to Montserrat Caballe

[@pathanna4390]

I love the way YOU Love Freddie/Queen. Talking of gorgeous/Beautiful....YOU LOOK STUNNING HERE ! x

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

Rebeka! Nowww..... I CAN'T WAIT until you listen to: FIRST "Exercises In Free Love" and THEN "Ensueno" !!

[@rebekaluizebudlevskamusic]

I will try to do my best. Thank you for your suggestion.:)

[@jorgealves3527]

That's it, from Messenger of the Gods. That's insane!!! It's not human...

[@ninagray4441]

Exercises in free love was written and recorded originally by Freddie to show Montsy what he would do vocally to compliment her voice. He played it to her when they first met. Shortly after, before they recorded together he attended a performance of hers, she knew he was there and to honour and surprise him, she performed it that night. They do a duet version of it on their album, though his original version was a b-side to his single of The Great Pretender.

[@bubbamoseks9522]

'Exercises In Free Love ' is a pure dusted gem.

[@omegaOO7]

Montserrat Caballe the best opera singer in Spain and for my taste the best in the world. 💜💙

[@flav2689]

Agreed! There are (well, were) many great sopranos but she was something else. Incredible - the beauty, the control, the emotion…perfect. I miss her🥺🖤

[@juliananelson475]

check out Freddie's "Exercises in Free Love"..that he wrote as a demo for a song for Montserrat duo...he sings both parts..then Ensueno which is Freddie and Monserrat together using the melody with the words for it

[@rebekaluizebudlevskamusic]

I will try to do my best. Thank you for your suggestion.:)

[@rebekaluizebudlevskamusic]

I will try to do my best. Thank you for your suggestion.:)

[@GinMae]

Yes - this is my favorite by the two of them -- and I also love the video where you can see Montsy actually lip-synching Fred's parts - she is smiling, and obviously cannot WAIT to sing -- :)

[@linogalveias]

La Japonaise, golden boy, guide me home, the fallen priest...

[@kendallneason3645]

You did pretty well pronouncing Mont/Ser/At and Cab/Er/Ray. Freddie was blown away when he heard her sing a small part at a Pavarotti opera. “Monsy” as he called her is a soprano opera singer actually famous for being able to sing high notes softly and with long breaths. She met him at his house to see if they wanted to sing a song together. She stayed through the night, until 6am singing with him as he tried melodies on the piano. She told him she might be too old and heavy. He told her music doesn’t care. She asked him how many songs a rock album made. He told her 9 or 10. So she said “Let’s do that!” Thus Freddie wrote the album Barcelona and created a rock and opera masterpiece with his beloved Monsy.

[@malcolmpeacock2484]

Hi Rebeka watching your reaction to this song is awesome. You seem to show your in aww of the singing. I look forward to seeing more of your reactions in the future xx

[@raymondfarrell6497]

Thank you for discovering and sharing this gem.

[@ninagray4441]

This was recorded with all of the instruments being synthesiser sounds. In more recent years the vocal tracks have been put to proper orchestra for the whole album they did, you can hear the difference, it now sounds like it always should have. Recommend you check out the full album, also called Barcelona.

Wow 🥰 loved your reaction liked already subscribed 😁❤️ Freddie Mercury ❤️ Freddie and Montserrat ❤️

[@DIALSQUARE-iv1ie]

You really should see the Barcelona La Nit 1988 version (Super goosebumps)...

[@RichiHzII]

As a Catalan Spaniard from Barcelona that I am, every time I hear the song my hair stands on end and some tears end up falling, since it is the hymn of the best Olympic Games that have been held in history, still today unbeatable by anyone ♥♥

[@Credin84]

Stunning

[@ferdylondon]

She was know for her pianissimos and known as La Suberba! She was awesome. Both wrecking havoc in heaven right now ❤

[@davidstenton4365]

*Rebeka* An A M A Z I N G performance.! What a gift.! Your reaction, my observation is tantamount to that scene from the movie "Pretty Woman" with Richard Gere & Julia Roberts where he is watching her reaction to being at the opera for the first time... This was lovely on all levels ... David ...

Thank you so much.:)

[@dennisgreene6832]

Two awesome talents. Absolutely amazing.

[@neilny7797]

Freddie was always the showman in addition to his great voice. I wasn’t a huge Queen fan back in the day but I’ve come to appreciate them more

[@incitatusdelaruinalparaiso3166]

Monserrat Caballe´s vocal technique is called "pianissimo" and that´s what you said "High and quiet notes"

[@rebekaluizebudlevskamusic]

She is amazing 🤩

[@user-zi2by8sd4n]

I still adore Freddie himself and his talent of music.

[@cecileciliberto3425]

Love your reaction…. It’s very on point!!!! Freddie wrote this song with Michael Moran…stunning!😊

[@adrianhughes8143]

It's a shame that FREDDIE and MONTSERRAT are not with us anymore, two of the greatest talents ever who complement each others voices. You can tell that they respected and had a lot of each other. Barcelona is just a beautiful song that brings a lot of peace and love to ones heart. 💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

EPIC !!!!

[@flav2689]

6:22 Even as an opera enthusiast, I understand this. It can feel weird if you are not into the opera genre and used to that style. So I get it. But why this collaboration works so well even for those outside the opera genre, is the very reason Montse is so special as a soprano. She is especially known for her remarkable voice- and breath control - and pianissimo. (Which means very soft and quiet) You might want to check it out, it’s absolutely wonderful. I’ll link it below 😊

[@flav2689]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHykl4alZal5fLM Well, there is a crescendo in the end, but you get the point. And notice that it is all done with a single breath take…that’s just Montse. ❤ Rest in peace, maestra🖤

I had the amazing opportunity of visiting Barcelona this year and I feel in love with the city and the people. This is an amazing tribute to Barcelona that was performed for the Olympics. I grew up during the 70’s (the greatest and most creative decade for Rock & Roll). Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Who and others). Thank you for being a lover of music and helping to bring great music to a new Generation!

Monseratt Caballe had this ability to sing a pianissimo (soft) on a high note and hold that note for several counts.

Freddie mercury was classically trained, he was told he would never ever make it in any music industry. He proved all that doubted him wrong. Montserrat Caballe was a legend

I really like your comments about the combination of their voices... It is possible to appreciate their mutual respect, admiration and love in their armony....
