Stanford Olsen has one of the most beautiful voices of any type that I've ever heard. I've adored his voice since I heard this performance many years ago. He is the finest bel canto tenor ever, in my opinion. The ease of production of the voice, the flexibility, the diction, and the sheer beauty of the sound is exquisite.
It amazes me that people get on here and make comments in which they have NO knowledge of what they speak. This is REAL Bel Canto Singing. This man is NOT singing in "Falsetto", but a Mix voice in certain areas. He is a great Bel Canto Tenor!
Ahh, thank you. I have loved his singing for years. I used to go hear him at the Met. He's like a reincarnation of Tito Schipa. Such sweetness I have never heard in a male voice apart from those two.
Magnifique ! De la pure gioia rossinienne à l'écoute ! Voix et timbre exquis, art du chant parfaitement maîtrisé, compréhension du répertoire rossinien totale, et joie de chanter contagieuse. Merci !
yes. This is the Semiramide production from the Met with June Anderson, Sam Ramey, Marilyn Horne and Young-Ok Shin. Its available on video in many places.

"....and I'm a Mormon!" While I don't think Olsen's appearance in one of those ubiquitous "...and I'm a Mormon" ads would have changed the election's outcome, I sure like listening to him more than Meatloaf (a bat's irritating enough when it flies out of a Strauss score, let alone hell...). Now let me go borrow William Tell's crossbow and see if Ted Nugent's up for a trip to Kussnacht....
dejen de hablar de juan diego flores!!! en todos los videos de tenores me encuentro un comentario de él. como si fuera un dios por favor!!! simplemente es bueno y nadie tiene su voz tan aguda naturalmente.
Bella voce, ma tempi orchestrali troppo dilatati. Ha appianato molte parti difficoltose. E non tutte le intonazioni sono giuste. Comunque un buon risultato considerate le impervie difficoltà di quest' aria.
This is not falsetto. At Rossini's time, stylistically speaking, one would expect falsettone in this repertoire. Rossini did not like Duprez's approach in G.Tell anyway. One can only listen to Mr.Olsen for his refined rendition of noble Idreno and elegant phrasing. Maestro zconlon is very majestic too. I personally like his sweet and gracious tone, a lot. Bravissimi! What a performance from Olsen and Conlon!

I'm so grateful to have found this guy!

Good Lord, what wonderful memories! I remember going back twice just to hear Olsen sing his arias. Bravo, Mr. Olsen, wherever you are!
After much study and many listening I have finally determnined to my satisfaction that Stanford Olsen DOES in fact breath.
I disagree. He’s just pretending so he seems human. 😂😂😂

He is one of the greats in my book, and one of my all-time favorites.
Simply the best version of this aria, I've listened to Florez, Brownlee etc. but Stanford is untouchable here
😂😂😂😂😂😂 not even close to Florez.
meraviglioso Olsen
A beautiful Bel canto tenor. Bravo
a few tenor can sing this repertoire, but Olsen sing this perfect. brava
one of the best rossini tenor.
No one has a voice more pure “Naomi” than Stan
Bravo. I was lucky enough to see him sing this at the Met. Best Idreno on record, in my somewhat well-informed opinion, Thank you for posting this!

can i faint now?? i just did, it's just too good
Bravo, Stan!!!

When is this from?
1991
You'll never hear Stan singing Nessun Dorma. It's out of his fach-far too heavy for his voice.

Questa non è mezzavoce, ma falsetto "statunitense", a tutta gola...scomodare Schipa !! per favore !!
nice falsetto but kinda boring

Better to not post and show your ignorance. This is NOT falsetto.
