Montserrat Caballé – Seriam 89

 

Monserrat Caballé faria hoje 89 anos e morreu com 85. Vale sempre a pena recordá-la:

E o que nunca será esquecido: em 1988, gravou com Freddie Mercury o álbum Barcelona. Quatro anos depois, na abertura dos jogos olímpicos naquela cidade, já sem a presença do cantor, que morrera em 1991, interpretou a mítica canção, num impressionante dueto virtual, que viria a ser repetido em 1999, antes da final da UEFA Champions League.

«Freddy Mercury and Montserrat Caballé's song Barcelona was produced as the theme song for the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona and recorded in 1987. It was featured in the TV transmission of the opening of the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, but not performed live because of Freddy Mercury's tragic death in 1991. The live performance in the video is from 8th October 1988 when Mercury and Caballe performed three songs by the Magic Fountain on Montjuic at a music festival called "La Nit" which celebrated the arrival of the Olympic flag from the Seoul games to Barcelona.»
