Freddie Mercury - Rachmaninov's Revenge (Early Version)

[pattmelodyz]

The Freddie Mercury :)

[worldroma07]

WOW GREAT SONG ,FREDDIE MERCURY FOREVER

[laurabenuion]

Is this an early version of what became The Fallen Priest track on Barcelona?

[carooomargheee]

@laurabenuion

Yes

[edmame]

i wish the people who said freddie "shouted" thru Barcelona or was "drowned out" by caballe can hear this: not only was he the mastermind, he laid down guide with a tonal warmth even more touching than caruso's. a beautiful tribute to caballe & her city by the most generous spirit of a true artist.

[gifs65]

Waow ! Je reste sans voix devant une telle voix !

[Hanszelman]

Goosebumps all over. Truly, truly great.

[Tubaranesse]

LONG LIVE RACHMANINOV! LONG LIVE FREDDIE! THE HUMANITY IS MISSING YOU!

[dannygringo1]

LINDO, LINDO VOZ ETERNA TE AMO SEMPRE SEMPRE.

[faccdcazz]

hi freddie!

[faccdcazz]

HI Freddy...!

[fmarsong]

His Majesty....

[TripleATrickster]

does someone have a link to anyone who could have barely attempted this masterpiece:)

[therealjohnnyenglish]

WOW! Amazing, of course!

So fascinating to see where it veers off of and away from what would eventually become the "Fallen Priest" track on the Barcelona album. How many of these early 'improv' tracks must there exist that have yet to be heard??

[victoria20nin]

wow....great natural talent

[Sherexade81]

Cielos !!!!! QUÉ MARAVILLA!!!!!!

[Typhoon792]

Sick, absolutely sick! This was clearly at the stage where a good portion was improvisation. I mean, in a sense, this was pretty much live. The cuts were minimal and the amount of takes were few at best since this was just to get an idea, as well as all other versions before the final product. Plus, I like how he sings much more than Montseratt Caballe. Freddie brings forth an insane understanding of tone and dynamics as opposed to just the ability of carrying out the notes "professionally".

[Gabybraca]

Simplemente increíble....

Just amazing.....

[Themercurytina]

my personal god!!!!

[FREDDIEMANIAC]

@Themercurytina.....Not any more.....as you are sharing him with me and millions of other Freddie lovers! (Hope you don't mind!) :)

Freddie - The God of music - !!!

[medows]

Great!

[tekqist28]

Amazing

[arapoda]

The one thing I really understand about Freddie is that he knew he had a great voice, and that he absolutely enjoyed using it. I mean, who wouldn't?

He must have been devastated in the final weeks of his life that he couldn't express himself with song, as he was too ill.

This is a wonderful, soulful piece of music.

[MoneyBEATSsoul]

Nice.

[2happy4emo]

This is gorgeous. Then again, Freddie seems to have the magic touch, doesn't he? I haven't met a song he's performed that *isn't* gorgeous.

[bunker114]

Sounds Like a demo version of "the fallen priest"don't you think?

[lynottforever]

@bunker114
