She and Freddie put together an entire album. A fantastic combination of symphonic and operatic music--coupled with a touch of rock. Highly recommended.
I can’t believe Billboard Magazine spelled Freddie’s name wrong, and in their headline no less. Love the Barcelona performance.
Was not familiar with this. Thank you for saying this.

Billboard did get it wrong. Didn’t notice that.
Didn’t she do a duet with Freddie Mercury? That wasn’t clear from the article. /s
LOL
I prefer to listen to her earlier operatic arias on YouTube...what a powerful and melodic voice she had !
Rest in peace, lovely lady and great artiste.

I never heard the duet with Mercury. I first heard her in the famous recording of Turandot with Sutherland and Pavarotti conducted by Mehta. I have heard her in many things since. Great and beautiful voice.

having grown up and gone into young adulthood loving Queen, I am a fan of the “Barcelona” album. Eight marvelous tracks.
I'm going to see if I can find the recording of that Turnadot aria on YouTube.
Gracias, gracias, gracias !

Many many years ago, I saw her perform at a free concert at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, She was magnificent. RIP dear lady, you will be missed.
RIP.
Montserrat and her son and husband, a Spanish tenor. She has a daughter, also a singer.
One of the most talented singers and performers of all time. He would still be performing today if not for his lifestyle. Sad.
One of my favorite songs of all time.
check their song “The Golden Boy”. should be on youtube. Great vocals.
