The Very Best of Freddie Mercury Solo

On a more retrospective level, a vocal and piano version of Your Kind of Lover and Freddie's a cappella delivery of Let's Turn It On, were selected to give an informal insight into Freddie at work in the studio and underline the fact that as well as a unique writer, he was also one of the finest vocalists we will ever hear. As Brian May has written: "Freddie sang with a joy and spontaneity that came from plucking his own inspiration from the air, or his own heart. It is hard to find a parallel anywhere for this man who combined composing with such outstanding performance."

CD 1 ends with a stunningly moving version of Freddie and Mike Moran's Guide Me Home performed by Swiss jazz pianist and Blue Note artist Thierry Lang, a native of Freddie's final home city of Montreux, and specially arranged and recorded by Lang as his own tribute to Freddie.
