Introduction
Spanish soprano Montserrat Caballe is a renowned singer in the classical world. Apart from classical works she has made some steps into the pop-scene , and she is best known by a bigger audience through her song ‘Barcelona’, which she sang together with the late Freddy Mercury. That was back in 1992, when the song was made as a tribute to the Olympic Games held at the time in Barcelona, Spain. In 1994 Montserrat Caballe (named after the monastery of Montserrat) was appointed as a 'Goodwill Ambassador'  for UNESCO.

In 1997 Montserrat Caballe releases ' With all my heart', an album compiled with classical works from Delibes, Mozart, Bach, Mahler and.....Vangelis. The album features one composition by Vangelis.
