Freddie Mercury was a man of many talents and many different sides. The songs he wrote for and with Queen filled stadiums around the globe and have rightly gone down in history, but he also embarked on a solo career that took him from the clubs of Munich and New York to the great opera houses of the world. He was the ultimate showman, but he kept his private life away from the prying eyes of the media; a larger than life rock star who loved disco, classical music and ballet. He was a restless spirit, a true chameleon who revelled in his own contradictions. All the different sides of this iconic musician can be found on Freddie Mercury: Mes...

  by Maureen Buja, Interlude Freddie Mercury We don’t think of the late Freddie Mercury (1946-1991) in the realm of classical music except for his duets with  Montserrat Caballée . Secretly though, the world of classical music has been looking at the music of Freddie Mercury and dragging it over to the classical side. Queen Looking at  A Night at the Opera  (1975), Queen’s breakout album, we have to focus on the most memorable piece of that album,  Bohemian Rhapsody , which had the whole world singing both the solo and supporting voices. And, of all the songs by Queen, this song has had, for better or worse, the most classical makeovers.

Opera soprano Montserrat Caballé dies, age 85 Critics and audiences the world over viewed Caballé as one of the great opera divas. DW takes a look at her successes and triumphs across diverse genres.         As announced by The Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau in Barcelona, Montserrat Caballé passed away early Saturday morning. The famous operatic opera star will be laid to rest on Monday.  When Montserrat Caballé was born on April 12, 1933, her parents named her after a nearby mountain range close to Barcelona. Yet no one in the family might have dreamed that the newborn would go on to conquer the lofty summits of coloratura singing, or would be revered as the "queen of bel canto." From Bremen out into the world On stage in 1968 After studying voice at a conservatory in her native Barcelona, Montserrat Caballé made her debut in 1956 at the Theater Basel, where she played the consumpt...

By Daniel Ross, Classic FM London Just listen to how Freddie Mercury’s voice, isolated from the rest of the Queen sound, comes across so powerfully without double-tracking. image: http://assets9.classicfm.com/2016/47/freddie-mercury-isolated-vocals-1479902828-article-0.jpg Queen’s ’We Are The Champions’ is a bombastic monument of a song, one of the most iconic in rock history - but what happens if you strip away all the instrumentation and leave only Freddie Mercury’s voice? As it turns out, you’re left with a crystal clear bravura  tenor  that rivals any operatic performance for sheer intensity.
