    Freddie wrote this for her. The whole album. He admired her.

    Montserrat wasn't just "an opera-singer", in her field she's as legendary as Freddie in the world of popular music.

    At the opening of the Olympics she performed the song live and he sang from a screen ( died prior to that). And when she sings the line "we'll meet again/someday" she pointed to him on the screen. That's when I hit my breaking point and started sobbing. A remarkable moment in the history of rock.

    They were very close friends. She was one of the few persons who Freddie told his diagnosis of HIV/Aids. And she said he could have been an opera singer for sure. Admired him like he did her.<br>I love her voice. The control of la Superba (so she was called) was outstanding, especially in high pitch pianissimo. I like her more than Maria Callas for example.<br>Now they sing in heaven together again.

    This is a love letter by Freddie to “Montsy”. He idolized her. <br><br>The whole project was an amazing accomplishment. He thought they would record one song, &amp; she said “no, let’s do an album!”<br><br>Freddie always joked, “oh shit, what have I gotten myself into.”<br><br>There is a whole album to appreciate. With one of the significant pieces being exercises in free love which was a demo, that became Ensuedo.

    Few people know that Freddie was a Baritone. He loved opera, and was a great friend of the soprano Montserrat Caballé, he wrote and performed with her the album Barcelona, ​​a true gem, which mixed rock with bel canto. I invite you to listen to it

    The song is not about the city, it a love letter to Montsy and is about Freddie meeting her for thr first time in Barcelona. Just listen to the words &quot;Barcelona it was the first time that me met&quot; &quot;the moment that you stepped into the room, it took my breath away&quot;. <br>Freddie heard Montsy at Covent Garden in London and said she was the most beautiful thing he&apos;d ever heard and that the whole World deserved to hear her, &quot;I want all the World to hear you&quot; is another lyric. Years later, he actually made it happen and Freddie with some help from friends wrote an entire album of duets for her.

    Freddie became a great friend with Montserrat. He was a fan of hers for years before and asked her to sing with him. When it came out, it was a phenomenon. Barcelona became theme tune for the Barcelona Olympics in 1992, and Freddie wasn&apos;t there. He passes on November 24th, 1991. I cried for days. He was one of a kind.

    Freddie and Monsarret adored each other. &nbsp;Now they can have concerts with the angels.

    Still, even now, gives me goose bumps. She did an interview after Freddie&apos;s death and she said she loved him to bits. 😊😊
