Talk about rock opera! This is the only CD I know of where a rock star and an opera star recorded an entire album of duets. Oddly enough, it works. Of course, Freddie Mercury was always a bit operatic, with "Bohemian Rhapsody" being the most obvious example. In this instance, he really displays his love for opera, and although he doesn't have a classically trained voice, his vocals are really impressive here. Montserrat Caballe, on the other hand, does have a classically trained voice, and her vocals are even more impressive. Freddie and his song writing partner Mike Moran came up with some good songs for the duo to sing together. I think most Queen fans will enjoy this album, if they are open to hearing another side of Freddie. This is a lot different from a Queen album (no guitar solos here).
