Free Music Review: what can't freddie do?
Hit: 5 Stars
the story as i understand it goes something like this.....
freddie was asked to write a song about the city of barcelona for the olympics,and wrote an inspiring and beloved song that still gets a ton of plays.
an opera singer who he absolutely loved,montserratte caballe,a spain resident and renowned,accomplished ,well loved by the residents of her home country,was in town at the same time freddie was there.freddie started writing a semi-rock opera with the brilliant mike moran,and asked mike to contact her to discuss the possibility of doing this new creation together.after many talks with her management,and many balks by the star herself,she reluctantly agreed to meet freddie.
freddie and mike performed a couple of the finished songs for her and she fell in love with the idea and agreed to do it.
something spectacular came out of the recording studio,and while the album can be considered a rock opera of sorts,freddie and mike's arrangements were toned down to be a softer rock creation,featuring much of ms. caballe's searing vocals.this cd will actually make you tear up,as this unlikely team sings some beautifully crafted music.
a few of the songs appear on freddies solo videos dvd,and ms. caballe is is as great an actress on live stage as she is an opera star.her vocal range is immense,and paired with freddies unmatched singing quality the album barcelona is perhaps an acquired taste,but worth a few listens to see the perfection of this enormous production.
a must for every freddie fan.....and it begs the question,what couldn't freddie do,and where would his mind have us at right now if he were still with us?
