Amigos para siempre

[Ron]

This was the theme song for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. It was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber & Don Black.
My favourite version of this was recorded by Andre Rieu & his Johann Strauss Orchestra.

Ron,

Enjoyed that .. but I have to say that I haven't heard this one before, and had no idea it was the theme song for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics (I had in my mind a completely different song which I had thought they used for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics!).

Now there's nothing like listening to some really good music, particularly where opera singers are concerned, so I hope you will bear with me if I put up a few YouTube videos for you to listen to.

Amigos para Siempre by Sarah Brightman & José Carreras

And the one I was thinking of ...

Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé - Barcelona



Comment from under this video:

Apparently Montserrat Caballé was one of the only people that could match Freddie in the showoff diva department, and Freddie has stated that he was both a fan of her and opera in general. Singing a duet with one of your heroes like that, that man was seriously living the dream.
