Barcelona
Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballe
℗ 1988 Polydor Records UNW 06169
Barcelona is an album recorded by Freddie Mercury, the front-man of the popular British rock band Queen, and operatic soprano Montserrat Caballe. The album was recorded in 1987 and 1988, and released in 1988. After Barcelona was selected to be the next Olympic city, Freddie was approached to write a song as a theme for the forthcoming games. The idea was to create a duet with Montserrat, as she is from the city. During the initial meetings, Freddie and Montserrat had developed a respect for each other's music and voices. They soon decided to work on an album together, with Mercury and Mike Moran taking the creative lead as songwriters. |
