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.
'Barcelona' was the first single to be taken from the album of the same name, in October 1987. You can see the original David Mallet video elsewhere on this channel. This alternative footage was filmed at the open air La Nit festival at Montjurich Castle in Barcelona on 8th October 1988, by Gavin Taylor. See also the beautiful 'How Can I Go On' and 'The Golden Boy', also filmed at this event.

Yes! Trump! President!
To the fans, Barcelona is just one of his extraordinary hits, but for Freddie, it was the pinnacle of his career. He called it “a dream come true, although I wondered if our voices would match or she would accept to do it. I hope the people in Barcelona, well everyone, I hope they like it. It’s for the whole world."
Thank you for this incredible masterpiece, Freddie! 😇❤️
I needed to read this… ❤
every time I watch it I cannot stand my tears.
Estuve allí. Tenía 25. Y también lloro cuando lo veo.
Me Too!
Same today for me
Here the same!😍
The same to me, this is so beautiful, so close to perfection!
Sadly, both of these performers are deceased. Freddie wrote this song. Montserrat was absolutely perfection.
really sad😔😔
😔 😢 An amazing performer him and MJ will be remember forever
Up
montserrat was amazing
Freddie the best!
Absolutely brilliant, probably one of the best songs ever written for an Olympic Games ceremony.
RIP Freddie Mercury,
RIP Monserrat Caballe.
La mejor que se escribió ya sea juegos olimpicos o mundiales de fútbol..luego viene la de Italia 90..para mi

After Barcelona was selected to host the 1992 Summer Olympics, Mercury was approached to write a song as a theme for the forthcoming games. The idea was to create a duet with Caballé, as she was from the city. He had been a long-standing admirer of her and she in turn grew to respect his talents very highly.
This could not be sung by any other couple as well. It is truly a magnificent performance.
FM...wrote this song for Montserrat after he met her for the first time in the lobby of a fancy hotel...in her home town where she was born... Barcelona! He was nervously waiting..and impatiently pacing back and forth in the lobby of this fancy hotel...as Montserrat was late getting there...she was also very nervous to meet the great showman Freddy Mercury! How Adorable!! Respect and Love for one another's musical abilities! ❤ He commented upon hearing her sing for the first time... that she had the greatest voice of anyone in the world including himself!!! Sweet!! Montserrat walked through the Hotel doors....Freddy spotted her....and the lobby full of people ...just parted the the Red Sea...as they made their way towards each other. As they shook hands Montserrat thought to herself...omg his hands are freezing cold...colder than mine...so that shows me that he respects me as much as I respect him!!! Awe!!! How sweet!!! So.they both hit it off and stayed awake all night long singing together laughing together & most of all ...dreaming together!!! What a masterpiece they have given us to treasure for all time!! RIP FREDDY & MONTSERRAT!!! You both will never be forgotten!!! ❤💖💛💙💜💚
he could sing opera, play the piano, dance and sing rock such a genius
He doesn't come close to the genuine operatic stars.
@@Mikep487 he doesn;t want to be a rock star but he could hold his own
Goosebumps music for the soul

I am visiting Barcelona on the last day of 2023. Who is still listening to this masterpiece? I wish everyone a happy new year 2024🎉
Yo la escucho...y en esa época tenía solo diez años
Happy new year too you! 16 FEB 2024😊😊❤❤😢😢
It is so sad that we are never going to see a performance like this again. These two fantastic voices are gone now, singing with the angels in Heaven. We will never hear Freddie's, or Montserrat's voice singing live again, except on their records. God bless you both and Thanks for the music.
Technically yes but AI is the dawn of an exciting yet slightly disturbing reality where we sort of hear our favourite artists, who have long since passed, sing again.
ОНИ ВСЕГДА БУДУТ У НАС В СЕРДЦЕ.
Surely, one of the most improbable collaborations ever. But, oh my goodness. This isn't a song, it's an exploration of the human senses. Total magic, and joy. Masters of their art, in glorious exaltation. 🎼🎵🎶🎤💛
As improbable a duo as they may seem, they recorded an entire album together as well as this duet. Freddie had a lot of respect and professional admiration for Montserrat and sought her out to collaborate musically. Barcelona was her home town and he wrote the song for her.
And it STILL takes my breath away!!!! If God is willing....then Freddy and Montserrat will welcome us to any/every afterlife we all live in....
@@TheLadybudd I totally agree. I have to come back, periodically, to refill my soul, with this amazing work of genius. 😊
What magic! Who else is watching in 2020?
In lockdown. Loving this tho😷

@ms. will always love my life the lady who sings with Freddie
Y freddie que?
This is one of those magical duets that you only get to witness once in a generation.Freddie Mercury could easily have been an Opera Singer if he had wanted to.He definitely had the vocal range to do it.
He had the vocals to do almost any genre. But yes, he could easily be a great opera singer
Freddie was Mozart of our time ❤🙏
No. He IS Mozart of our time.
Freddie devoted his life to music and art, he realized his dream, when I think about these, a Freddie Mercury passed away from this world and is still in our hearts, no singer has impressed me this much with his voice and style.
R. I. P ❤
Thumbs up if you agree that Freddie Mercury is the greatest singer to ever live.
Sir_Mercury
Except Andrea Bocelli.
You're kidding right? Are you at all familiar with his work?
If only he didn't live a destructive lifestyle, he would still be here. :(
You all know Freddie is proven to have the biggest range of any singer in history.
Always proud to say my mother sang with Montserrat Caballé. RIP. A true diva with class.
🙏💖
GREATEST SINGERS, GREATEST SONG
What an honor for her!
Потрясающий дуэт! Фредди поёт словно волшебник, зовущий нас в свой мир, а Монтси поёт словно стрела, пронзающая твоё сердце насквозь!😭😭😭 Убийственно и божественно одновременно. Покойтесь с миром, великие артисты!
Ждём дует Путин и Киркоров, песня называется « Булгарский цыган в глубине Роцций»…. В клипе Путин будет сосонуть Киркорова. Ещё хороший клип будет скоро , песня называется « Роцция страна рогатого» и тут снимаются вместе Путин , Кобзон и Жириновский . Путин идёт скоро до них.
Конечно

Wow. Yes this. ❤❤❤
Da igual que hayan pasado más de 30 años. Siempre emociona, los pelos de punta.
Qué orgullo
Así es 🥺
A mi me pasa igual, lo viví alli mismo con 14 años y es uno de mis mejores momentos, lo que no fue tan divertido fue el colapso para volver, jajajajaja.

Two stars now in the celestial concert arena..RIP Montserrat Caballe
No creo volver a escuchar algo así .... Freddy and Monserrat.
Freddie Mercury what's the greatest entertainer who ever lived! Pop rock, and then he did the Opera! Freddie Mercury is the greatest entertainer who ever lived!

She is singing with Freddie in paradise.
@Deku I want to listen to it, good luck
yes
@Deku 🤣 That sound so good, are you going to do roger's falsetto?
The same thought came in my mind after listening to this unforgettable masterpiece presented by my beloved Freddie Mercury and manificent Montserrat Caballe.The miracle!!!
"She"? Sorry? Montserrat Caballé, a famous Spanish lyric singer internationally (from Barcelona)
I’m in tears. How has this existed without my knowledge for so many years? I’m at a loss for words.
You'r too young to know about this!
Sends shivers right down your spine. Music gets no better than this.
Told you. % of people still tembling in awe to those who are clinically dead😢
I weep. And weep, only a man as innovative as Freddie could have come up with the concept, the writing, the performance, from the man who gave you bohemian rhapsody and the original highlander movie soundtrack. Who wants to live forever, if someone can post that, you'll need more tissues.
Freddie sang with his entire body.

Totalmente de acuerdo
Grande vicente!!!
@Judy Snyder que pereza
Estuve ahí cuando tenía 4 años, e igual recuerdo sus increíbles voces ♥
Montserrat was deeply special to Freddie and her to him- it shows when they sing together- I’m in heaven
Her smile beamed when she looked at Freddie. She was having the time of her life, bless her. These days she would have no chance because she wasn't a stick thin slag. Such a shame.
Their love was unique special and different neither of them had romantic feelings for one another - few people could ever share what they did

@@lylianemanquest2323 Yes ! Perfection
It is remarkable the fine treatment that Freddie had with Montserrat, the admiration he had for her was profound. Beautiful to see.
Imagine Freddie Mercury writing those words to you. Mind blowing. God I love him ❤️
Not only is this an amazing,powerful and emotional song but the main beauty in it is watching the respect he shows her in not trying to overpower her voice or showboat like other singers would have. Tragic loss to the music business. x
You realize they are not really singing live and it is pre-recorded in a recording studio., right? You can see there are no microphones in front of them. There is no outshining Caballe, her singing is always spectacular without strutting around and posing. Even here, Mercury is a bit rough. He did compose a marvelous opening.
@@stevepotfora7461 Rough? I thought he was wonderful. Of course it was pre-recorded, his voice was powerful, but not a powerful as The Lady Caballe. Plus, he wasn't all that healthy, either. It's a gorgeous piece of music. He really showed his writing talent on this one.
No estoy llorando, se me metió el mejor cantante del mundo en el ojo...
Tan grande es tu ojo
@@alee-ld3qi Jaja
Se te metió dentro! Se te metió en el Alma en el corazón ❤️ y éso hizo lo que les hace a todos soltar unas lágrimas por tan espectacular y especial aporte para la humanidad en forma de la mejor música que somos capaces de crear el ser humano.
Busca a Marc Martel canta idéntico la reencarnación 😎🤟
So beautiful, Freddie was such a talent taken from us too soon. As another poster said, this is not music, it's a masterpiece.
I'm from the former East Block and I remember 1984. I was 14 years old and in the morning, on the way to school, they played song I Want to Break Free in the only state radio. It was a shock because at that time we had a totalitarian regime and everything from the west, including music, was censored and could not be officially broadcast. Great song and especially daring for that years. And since then he is in my memory like a singer with a specific voice. However, I perceived him marginally only- just then was the gold era of Heavy metal and Depeche Mode for me. It was full of great bands and singers and Freddy was one of many only. As the world goes, only after his death I began to realize, how genius Freddy Mercury was. Its enormous energy was like from another galaxy. And I'm really sorry that I lived when he was here and I didn't take the chance to go to at least one of his concerts, to see his show and to hear his voice called. Honor his memory.
"The moment that you stepped into the room you took my breath away"
Incredible power in this line, he had such a peculiar voice...
Yes this is so true omg
Yes I think that too.omg when he said away I got chills
Yes it is!!
Peter Freestone: “When Montserrat sang ‘Barcelona’, after her first take was the nearest I ever saw Freddie to tears. Freddie was emotional, but he was always in control of his emotions, because he could let them out in performing or writing songs. He grabbed my hand and said: ‘I have the greatest voice in the world, singing my music!’ He was so elated.”
This is absolutely beautiful and breath taking. So proud of Freddie to have found his true calling on this earth. He was music. He was a marvel to behold. Thank you Freddie for giving us your unique personality and talent. It is ageless. It makes my heart swell. Love you Freddie!
Hoy Montserrat Caballé se reencontrará con Freddie Mercury en el cielo para cantar esta bellísima canción. Descansa en paz🙏🏻❤️

2021, me he emocionado y a la vez no consigo creerme que esto sea real. Me quedo sin palabras. Ejemplos, mitos, leyendas y una actuación que siempre será grandiosa. GRACIAS por regalarle esta obra de arte a BARCELONA. Freddy y Montserrat siempre ETERNOS.
Putos cracks.freddi mercury un mosntruo
Yo estube con 12 años despues de eso nunca estube en ningun evento igual ni lo estare
2022 y estoy volviéndolo a ver, mismo efecto: demasiada emoción por ver a Freddy creando esta bella obra de arte junto a Monserrat!
No solo se la regalaron a Barcelona, se la regalaron a toda la humanidad.
Who’s still watching this in 2019?
RIP FREDDIE MERCUUUUURY. You will always be the BEST!!! Love this opening.

Here...
Gotta play this every 3 months or so....my favorite soprano and the greatest pop singer. It’s like a duet with frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald, or duke ellington jamming with John Coltrane...
Me yet again.

Everyone speaks about him, but she is just absolutely powerful 😍
Si al escuchar esta maravilla no se te ponen los pelos de punta... No eres humano. Pura expresión del más alto nivel de arte que se puede realizar por dos mitos como Freddie Mercury y Montserrat Caballé. Sublime.
Look at that powerful body language from Mercury.
There something animal about him, he’s expressing something deep and instinctive, something unadulterated, beastly.
Freddie might be no more. But his music will live on. It touches you and remains unforgettable. Superb♥️
YES, UNFORGETTABLE, I WAS THERE. ALSO HIM MY DAUGSTHER WAS BORN. I STILL EXITED TO HEAR THIS MUSIC. SINCE BARCELONA ( CATALONIA ) GRETITINGS FOR YOU- JOSEP
Freddy is so very missed. I watch Queen videos about every day.
Freddie's voice can never be matched, other's may try but there will only ever be the one.
so true.
Trueeeeeeee
Who would dislike such a beautiful song.
This duet is one of the most beautiful performances I've ever seen. Sadly, both are now deceased.
Freddie was a music icon years ahead of his time. It's unfortunate he was taken from the world. His music will live on for years.
Jonathan Salvas years? No.. centuries
nobody but Freddie was born for a world stage. And now, together with the woman he admired ,they are making beautiful music up there! And this was unforgettable!!!!!
kitty viveen too bad she didn’t get to see the movie BoRap she passed one month before the release
ANGELICA Anime if you’re a die hard fan you would know what we are talking about. Freddie loves this lady a singer and have always wanted to do music with her and they became just friends. She died just before the movie came out.
@ANGELICA Anime FOUND YOU, JOTARO!!!!
i would say michael jackson and freddie mercury
Pure art.
Despite the fact that their singing was obviously a recording and they obviously weren't singing live, this is the most powerful performance ever.
FREDDIE KNEW HOW TO COMBINE HIS MUSIC WITH HIS LOVE OF ART
Los barceloneses tuvimos el privilegio que nuestra ciudad fuera escenario de este impresionante espectaculo y a pesar de haberlo visto varias veces no me canso de verllo de nuevo y admirar la actuacion fantastica de estas dos voces portentosas que siempre tendran un riconcito dentro de nuestro corazon
Avevo 12 anni..Barcellona me l ha fatta conoscere questa canzone.. sono venuto diverse volte,amo Barcellona anche grazie a freddy.

Crying watching this. An incredibly beautiful piece of music, art and talent. RIP Freddie Mercury
At 77! I'm still Freddy's biggest fan, This is one of my all time favorite of his talents. RIP Freddie you are still loved and respected.
After listening to that song when it came out, my not so young parents went and bought more of Queen and listened to it in the car. My mom is now 89 and still loves "her" Freddy.

It's funny how the vessel gets worshiped. In reality if you think for a moment, Our LORD GOD ALMIGHTY deserves all the Glory. He is the creator of the gift. All the talents in the world are born from the King. How blessed it must feel to enjoy that gift.🌹😇💖
Freddie said before die , that Monserrat was the best singer he have met, thats not true, both complement each other as gods 😍
Yes, you are 100% correct.
Álvaro Díaz Martín the way I remember it, Montserrat Caballé instantly replied that Freddie Mercury had appeared to her as quite the opposite of what she had expected him to be. She expected an exalted rock star and got to know a humble and sensitive man. You can see on stage that they were from different corners of the planet, but they evolved a chemistry.
@@TheColinChapman You 're completely right, both were amazings persons and singers in their own way
true but he was thrilled she sang with him. She said she wouldn;t even try to sing with another rock star
@@margarethirsche126 You re right, she said in a Spanish Interview with Freddie, that she sang with him because Monserrat's children were fans of his music. And they both were different styles of singing so she thought it would be funny to try.
Artists have only birthdays.

I so agree , goose bumps , just such an amazing duet that can never happen again . Freddie wow & Montserrat wow wow , brings wonderful memories of visiting Barcelona
Freddie Mercury, the ULTIMATE SHOWMAN . Oh how I miss him :(
He was so much more than that, he was the ULTIMATE MUSICIAN.
@@helenclarke4735 Not here he wasn't. She overpowered him.
@@Mikep487 He was really sick here. It was his last public appearance. Anyway, a trained opera singer would have a stronger voice than an untrained voice.
And he was a true musician, he sang, wrote music, played several insturments, and produced music, all self taught. He was also a fine artist. Did you know he designed the queen logo?
Great! Everytime I sing classical operas, the perfect vocal technique of Montserrat is for me the winning weapon to overcome even the most difficult passages. Thanks Montserrat!
The last time Freddie performed publicly. May he rest in eternal peace.
Montserrat Caballé is just perfect, I love how she mixes in with our dear Freddie so beautifully
It was remarkable, especially the way that they became such great friends.

+Manuel Stocco ...... I thought this was the LIVE 1988 version.
+Hitcher177 yes it was a live version. They did quite a few together 😊
+Manuel Stocco yes it was a live version. They did quite a few...see youtube ☺

It has been 9 years since I first saw this video and I get tearful eyes every time I rewatch it. Music is the most powerful thing ever. It connects us all.

3:10..His hands, his voice, the lyrics..
That's my favorite part, too. :)
when you think that this wonderful man has already achieved everything, he has reached the peak of his abilities ... he creates Barcelona
This is one of the most wonderful songs ever made by humanity. So beautiful!
Vaya energía de ambos, la puesta en escena de Freddy es espectacular.
Dios, esto tiene mas de 30 años, y pocas cosas se han hecho más épicas que esto
joder tio pero .es..playback a.mi se me..cae el alma .... no entiendo como pudieron hacer esto en playback
Mi teoría, ojo nada de que sea cierto, es que la delicada salud de Mercury le imposibilitaba hacer directos digamos que tan perfectos como en los 70. Hay que tener en cuenta que esta canción vocalmente es extremadamente complicada. Admiración por el artista que aún así fue capaz incluso de grabarla y seguir grabando canciones hasta muy poco antes de su muerte.
es k ahora lo único k conocen y saben hacer en BCN son manifestaciones y protestas de lunes a viernes por la independencia!
@@JAMESFERNANDEZ Yo soy barcelonesa y por alusiones te diré que también hay una parte importante de los catalanes que nos manifestamos en contra del independentismo en Cataluña. Aunque si estoy de acuerdo contigo en que es una lástima que ahora la ciudad de BCN no sea como era antes, tan única y singular, pero a la vez tan abierta y moderna. Ahora nos hemos quedado en el 1714, una pena.
@@josea137 exacto, GRANDE FREDDIE. "Por ti seré gaviota de tu bello mar", gracias por esta canción tan bonita escrita y compuesta por él y gracias Montserrat por ser tan inmensa como artista.
The older I get, the better he was!
Funny- me too!
Recuerdo ser pequeño y mirar por TV estos juegos olimpicos, tan importantes para mi madre Barcelonesa, lejos de su ciudad. La lengua y la cultura muy dentro de mi al crecer con ella, ambos lloramos con esta canción hoy años después, ya no la tengo conmigo. Nuevos sentimientos, nuevas emociones me provoca esta joya para los ojos y oidos. Perfecto y unico momento en la vida y en la historia de cualquier apertura de Juegos Olimpicos o Mundial de cualquier deporte. Simplemente UNICO.
Iconos 😎 saludos
The artistry of this incredible duo is unmeasurable. I wish I could have seen Freedie Mercury live
Had he lived, Freddie would have gone on to do all kinds of opera and Broadway as well. There was nothing he wouldn't eventually have tackled--and dazzled us all with.
Nonsense he was talented and multifaceted he passionately loves his rock band and rock and roll music he loves both
I think if he were alive today, he would probably be retired. Although he would've done alot different things, something tells me he either retired or semi retired. He would've been 71 years old.
I think he would've gone in that direction as well. He did want to explore opera in a solo direction, but he only jumped into it because of his failing health and wanted to do what he always wanted before he died. I think he definitely would've went down the opera/Broadway direction, doing a few Queen reunions here and there.
ፐኮህe FACTS you may have missed the point. All he was saying that he could achieve anything musically. Of course he loved rock music and queen
Judith Shipstad Yes, Freddie was a climber. He would have climbed every mountain big or small. It was what it was..... He said once im an interview "I've done it all" or was it "There's nothing i haven't done" Well, I have to disagree....if that aweful disease hadn't shortened his life he would have sang with many many others. My little bro drowned im 1984 he loved music... Everything on the top during the late 70s early 80s being just an 11 y.o. young boy. He would jam to his favorits. Two being Queen and The Gap Band. Makes me tear everytime i go into deep thoughts dreaming of what my brother would have been like. Would he have had children. Crazy because i would give anything to get a glimpse of him as an adult with the simplest stuff like arm pit hairs and a first girlfriend.. Same with Freddie, although he lived an outgoing life past his 30s i still feel us fans didn't see the best of him. Although we were blessed with what he did leave for us.
His music will last as long as mother earth lives.
Rest In Paradise....
Lil brother & Freddie 💙💙
This song can bring tears to my eyes and I'm British so what kind of effect does it have on a native of Barcelona? a beautiful city I've listened to the peice with the fountains in full flow very emotional Freddie you were a Genius rest in peace big man :-) x
+Brian Millar Tears and more than that. A Barcelona native talking
Brian Millar I relate to how you feel.. I'm American born i have a very small percentage of Spaniard mostly Mexican, irish and German. I'm sure my DNA has more on top of those being from USA we all mixed blood... These two high pitched beautiful voices blended perfectly. Cheerio Mate 😄💛😄
Brian Millar I was born in Barcelona at '82 living in Chile since 2010, I can't hold my tears everytime I hear this song.
goosebumps for a barcelona one =)
The effect that has on a native of Barcelona is that the city depicted in the song has gone. The magic of Barcelona has been dying as millions and millions of tourists have been coming to the city. Don't boubt: The Barcelona you visit today is nothing that an artifact, some kind of mirage, built for leisure of tourism. The soul and spirit of the city is no longer like the one that inspired the declaration of love of Freddie Mercury.
I was present that amazing beautiful night with my girlfriend,so young and
so many dreams happening in my hometown!the most beautiful city in the world..tears of joy still caressing my face everytime I hear "Barcelona".RIP Freddy and Montserrat ❤️❤️
