This is a 1st time listen and reaction so folks please remember my reaction is done on the spot. No script, no pre-recorded stuff. I am bringing you a real and raw honest 1st time reaction - Розваги
Freddie was so talented and special....He sings in my home everyday!!!
Rachmaninov was an incredible composer who wrote piano concertos and preludes that had lightning-fast passages. Give some of his compositions a listen, maybe starting with Concerto 2, but listen to all of the movements. It's amazing, and may explain that "conflict" and passion you heard in this song.
To think Freddie never had actual singing lessons..A voice like this must be a gift from God .A reminder, please do a "Love Kills", Freddie's solo project.
but in reality he rehearsed and sang with the best like montserrat. those are singing lessons you don‘t get with a normal singing teacher. he took piano lessons at the age of seven and had his first band at the age of 12, so when people are saying he had no singing lessons that‘s all relative because he had at least musical instrument lessons, therefore always in contact with professional people and learned from the best. hence he had the right tools to bring himself up or merge his musical characteristics to evolve his famous skills being able to get in contact with such people like montserrat caballé to get even more skills.
Rachmaninov was a famous composer. His concerto’s were fabulous. It makes sense that Freddie would do one of his with his amazing talent and vocal range. God I miss him.
This song turned into "The Fallen Priest" on his album with Montsy. It is an idea in sound of what he wanted to do with her voice....and his. The first verse, on the album, has the most beautiful undercurrent of harmonies I have ever heard.
The piano work is incredible ... vocals .. bass, baritone, tenor and soprano .... and Rock God ... just HOW ?? the world is so much poorer for the loss of our adored Freddie . I had never heard that before ... brilliant reaction Hap 🌹
Stop right there!!! "Can you imagine waking up one morning and Freddie Mercury is in your house". ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎
You are awesome for reacting to this! No one has ever reacted to this song. You are 100% correct about the turmoil in the song. It is definitely suppose to be a push and pull! This was also actually demo. It is obviously a demo where Freddie does both parts of the duet. That is why it is called the later version. The final rendition of this song is actually called, The Fallen Priest, so as you can imagine it is a story about a Priest struggling with his faith and falling in love with someone. But it could still be about Freddie in his own life as well. Honestly, I am really amazed how you got all of the feelings within the song so spot on without knowing anything about the song. This is another one of those rare songs, but as you can hear Freddie did some amazing singing here. This song might perhaps not be for everyone, but I think it pretty good. Freddie actually used some of this music in Was It All Worth It as well.
Something else I requested with your Somebody To Love reaction at Milton Keynes, was Play The Game live at Milton Keynes ua-cam.com/video/LQqHZb1b__w/v-deo.html. It is actually one of Queen's more popular hits and for some reason you haven't reacted to it yet.
Love all the amazing info u have,knew this but still u have a lot of amazing tidbits
Well thank you very much for it and for the link. Glad to here my interpretation was not too far off the mark. Haven't done play the game just yet. Will have go remember that going forward. 👍🏽👍🏽

Yep, Play the Game, Milton Keynes version Freddie was on full vocal form, very powerful indeed
I could listen to Freddie singing the abc's all day, such an angelic voice! Loved your interpretation and reaction as always! ❤👑❤👑❤👑
I’ve never heard anything this before but Freddie vocals are amazing! Freddie 4ever 🤴🏻🎤🎶❤️‼️
Even his demos are fabulous, the song is essentially there, missing lyrics, different lyrics are here but the structure is in place. To be able to carry off Montsys parts as well is a God given gift. The Freddie Mercury rarities box set where this is from is a gift to any fan.
Always a new surprise... fabulous music. A deep layer upon layer is what to expect with the legend himself.

Hey Hap! Freddie's demos are better than most final performances of others. Chills every time I hear this. Stunning talent. Thanks for another heartfelt reaction. Keep on...
Thanks Nora. No problem.

PERFECTLY SAID: "Freddie's demos are better than most final performances of others." !!
The Fallen Priest lyrics
Free me, free yourself
A life of sacrifice controlled me
But those promises I made no longer hold me
Mercurial more wayward by the hour
The shackles fall away, I'm in your power
Free me, and free yourself
Come to me and let me lead you
I beg you, I beseech you to let go
My heaven is yours and heaven is all I know
We are mortal
In the hands of Gods who roll the dice
Searching for an earthly paradise
So hard to find
We are mortal
We are victims of our weaknesses and passion
We are reaching for the heights
(I am falling, I am falling from the heights)
But I promised I would serve
I should be a rock against depravity and sin
Oh no sin no sin
Free yourself, let your life begin, oh
To yourself be true
I am a man of God
I should not be here with you
HOW the Bloody Hell did he make those transitions back & forth: opera yodeling to rocker growl to opera yodeling?!? 🤯
That's why everyone says there is only one Freddie Mercury. I can understand why now.

@@HAP3SPEAKZ You coined a NEW phrase: #Freddie'sVoices
Hap - Sergei Rachmaninoff was a russian pianist and composer who died in the 40’s. He was really amazing and Freddie knew that very well. Yes, turmoil is really the word to define Rachmaninoff. This is a masterpiece! Freddie caught the vibe perfectly and the Russian would be proud to listen to him. Freddie’s musical culture is immense 💕💕💕💕💕
Freddie was reared in the classics, even in cultural references.
U let him in our hearts again, thanks, darling
He never left. 💜

@@HAP3SPEAKZ and never will
I think there was always turmoil in Freddie's life
Hence the great music
Never heard this one before, amazing Freddie!!! Thankyou dear, for this reaction. He was a once in a lifetime, amazing artist! Legend! Much greetings from the Netherlands❤
Welcome!!! And enjoy the channel.
Thank you.

Beautiful voice and singing from Freddie Mercury. I loved listening to this song. And ur interpretation was just awesome!! You are a great story teller who understands the music well and appreciates it. Thanks for sharing ur thoughts.🎧🎶🎵🎧
Freddie's Vocals and ''imitating'' Montserrat here is superb. He was a great singer (to me the best) I'll never understand the people who disagree to him being good or even one of the best. 10:57 THAT WAS SUCH AN PERFECT EXPLANATION, the turmoil and alter ego thing. You haven't even seen the finished version yet, that's why I'm so amazed you mentioning this. 16:15 Listen how the instrumental goes inverted here. 17:14 So you explained your whole interpretation here. Actually TO ME IT COMPLETELY Sounds Like a Battle too. It's not as you explained your image of it but its still a battle between something. In my interpretation the battle has mostly to do with the inverted instrumental part I mentioned before. YOU HAVE TO Listen to the finished Version. I never heard this unfinished version but still it made me realize of how Great and better the finished version is, better instrumentation, Of course better Vocals. But most importantly how amazing those finished Lyrics were and as you said it was telling a Story. The Finished version of this song which is called ''The Fallen Priest'' must be one of the most EPIC Songs I have ever heard in my Life. It's COMPLETELY Dramatic. It's just Amazing and wow. Getting goosebumps every time I listen to it. I just found it 2 weeks ago, just wowww. The duet between Freddie and Montserrat in the finished version is just perfect. And in the finished version right at the end of the song Montserrat is hitting one of the most Fantastic Notes I have ever heard. You must react to the Finished version. The way they made it dramatic while telling that story... Like Montserrat Vocal's made it so perfect to bring out the dramaticness and well Freddie too but not in those ''opera vocals'' I can't explain how amazing it is. Hope you will get the same Kick while making the reaction to the Video. Here the link to The finished Version ''The Fallen Priest'' ua-cam.com/video/1_Hcz0meGHE/v-deo.html . The lyrics of it is in the description of the video I linked. Great Reaction. and Yes I didn't comment in some time but I'm still alive :) .
Yes I was starting to wonder about that. But always a pleasure to read a comment. Thanks for the link and equally glad u got a kick out of the reaction too.

Loved your interpretation! Great reaction!
OH!! Ear gasams!!!! Layers of Freddie over and over circling and fluttering- this song to me IS Freddie’s life- my gosh!!
Thank you Hap I may have never heard this!!
First time hearing this song well with a voice like tht aaahhh wht can u say tops Freddie 🍸💕
Thank you Hap, because of you I discovered this track. I thought I've heard all things Freddie. He is magnificent, his voice is powerfully displayed here. I always felt he had the greatest voice in recorded history.🙂
Thank you for reacting to this work in progress for The Fallen Priest from the Barcelona album. I have never seen anyone else react to it in any of its versions. You did an incredible job of interpreting the meaning, given how lyrically sparse it is. It may be the most dramatic but least liked & least understood of any song on the album. What gives away the meaning more than words ever could is the heart-wrenching angst, turmoil, and pain in Freddie's voice. The singing is just glorious. Would you be willing to react to the final version from the album? Lyrics below...they explain a lot.
It was so cute how you pronounced Rachmaninov 😂❤️
Perfectly Freddie! Love this,havent listened to it in quite awhile! Thanks for my queen fix this weekend!
It's the demo for The Fallen Priest. The falsetto part is the guide vocal for Montserrat.
I hadn’t heard this before. Just stunningly beautiful.
Great reaction.
Great reaction Hap. Love to hear you breakdown a song. You are so on point. Do I need to send you a DALLAS COWBOYS cap ?? I have to admit that I was not too familiar with this version of that song. I am always looking forward to see what QUEEN song is next. Dont worry about getting to all of your request there is too many. Just keep doing what you are doing. You are doing a great job on these videos. Like I say all the time. I dont have just one favorite QUEEN song there are just too many I always say my favorite song is just QUEEN its self. Lol. Much love to you my brother. Take care. Sorry that this comment is late I have been busy. QUEEN BEE.
Never heard this song before, beautiful.
Freddie was PURE GENIUS!!
First time hearing this song, Our dear Freddie was unbelievably talented and we have lost one of the worlds greatest musicians. I personally will love Freddie forever
WHAT CAN I COMMENT THAT HASN'T BE SAID ALREADY? YOUR ANALYSIS AND PERCEPTION OF THIS IS TOTALLY REAL AND PROBERABLE OF WHAT FREDDIE WANTED TO PROJECT IN A TACTFUL BUT SOMEWHAT BOLD WAY. I THINK YOU SAID IT VERY WELL. AWESOME ANALYSIS AS ALWAYS. YOU KNOW HOW TO REALLY GO DEEP OBSERVE AND READ WHAT OTHER CAN'T SEE! MY OPINION AND OBSERVATION.🤔👍💖
No problem at all Denise. 👍🏽👑 It's just the music. You can sense a real depth of devotion, time and precision in the craft. (Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️
Wonderful! I love classic music too. Now I must hear more with this komposer, but I now already his in my taste of classical music pompose and dramatic.........and Freddie and Monzty of top of that can it bee better! And of top of that the best reacter ever, thanks again Super-Hap 👑
You’ve done it Hap,. I thought I’d heard everything on here.😍😍. Great story. please check out Rachmaninov piano concertos in your own time, you will find you’ve heard bits of them all you’re life.
Dude, when's let me live? I'm dying waiting for it!
Haha ah man!!! It will have to be done. 🙂... but I'm gna have to get through some other songs before that.

Wow 🥰 beautiful Freddie ❤️ Freddie Mercury ❤️ liked already subscribed 😁
Thanks for subbing!
Wow! Nothing else to say.
Loved this, Freddie doing both his and Montserrat's parts. If you do more from the Barcelona album, I don't think anybody has reacted to 'La Japonaise' . It's quite beautiful, composed by Freddie with some help on the Japanese lyrics. There is a lovely Japanese historic video that can be viewed with it.
I can listen to you every Day my lovely Freddie
I really loved this! Fantastic song. On point of the turmoil! Great reaction!
This is amazing - thanks Zen 🤗🎶🔥
Fantashimocious!! The final version with lyrics is of course also lovely.
I think he’s incorporating the composer Rachmaninov style into his own style of music. But the song is actually called The Fallen Priest on his Barcelona album and he’s accompanied by Monserrat Caballe his opera diva bestie. Not much he couldn’t do with his incredible voice and piano skill. He loved all genres of music obviously. ❤
Not many people know Freddie played golf, notice his swing at the beginning...he also held his Mike stand at the back of his neck which is also a golf move
Live at Monterey full concert with commentary by Roger and Brian. .they tell us what was happening and why Freddie came on stage with his little white shorts and so many other antidotes. Amazing
Close with the name, its Rack-man-in-ov. Get it right & you can make a great attempt at my surname 🤣🤣🤣. Love all the versions out there of this one.
Lol, thanks Allan Ri-ach. 🙂

🌫Freddie Mercury 🌫🌫such a talent, I want to find him singing Bohemian Rapsody on stage. And for I put a spell on you.. God Bless this incredible gift he was to the performing public and the music world! ❤️ Laura
You got it right on❤❤
Fantastic
Sorry for "crashing" your queen video, but PTX just dropped a song from their album of original songs that they finished right before quarantine started. The video they did late last year came out on Friday. Would you mind doing a reaction to it please? It's a great song and an interesting video. Its called, "Happy now". I think you will like it a lot. Can't wait and thank you!!
It will be on its way and you got a shout out. Thank you Lexy!!!

Rachmaninov (rok-man-e-nov) - Sergei Rachmaninov (also spelled Rachmaninoff) was a legendary Russian composer and pianist who emigrated after the Communist revolution of 1917, and became one of the highest-paid. concert stars of his time. Freddie loved classical music and was very much influenced by it. If you listen to Rachmaninov,'s piano recordings, it's easy to recognize that Freddie's playing was influenced by those recordings.
I prefer the finished version from the Barcelona album with Montserrat - flawless. I don't think this early version does it credit but an honest reaction as always.
He did all the parts,to show Montsy how they would go,including her parts,I think its amazing,what he could do with his voice,and what he wrote with Mike Moran,truly awesome,the finished result is always great as we get to hear it as he envisioned it,but the raw beauty of this cant be surpassed,but i certainly understand your viewpoint
Genial....einfach nur genial.......
Isn't this what became The Fallen Priest on the Barcelona album?
Yes it is. It has already been explained in the comments.

I prefer the Rachmaninov's Revenge (early Version) or The Golden Boy (2nd Early Version)

I just finished going through your Queen playlist and loved seeing your reactions to their music. Now that you've gone through, I guess most of the big ones (I suggest leaving No one but you (only the good die young) as your absolute last Queen song, but you've still got a ways to go) I've got my list of songs you need to go through.

U should listen Sergei Rachmaninov - Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini op.43.
Was that all Freddie overlaid or did it include the diva MC?
How do you mean? 🙂 All Freddie I think.
