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
