Verdi: Don Carlo / Act 5 - "Ma lassù ci vedremo in un mondo migliore"

So: we need two explanations, right?
1. It’s not my favorite version, Abbado '77, but I can't find it in fragments... never mind. I have to say though that this one with Bergonzi (well, a great gentleman, but not much else), Tebaldi (absolutely magnificent), Ghiaurov (absolute confidence), and Dieskau as the Marquis of Posa seems definitely worth seeking out... As soon as I’m done with the first one from '77, I’ll give it a try.
2. It's not an aria (hahahaha) but a duet. It’s the equivalent of "si schiude il ciel" from Aida. The two (Carlo and Elisabetta) are without hope. They say goodbye to each other. And they tell each other they will be happy. In a better world.
3. Yes, now you know why in the coming days, whatever I do, I will do it singing "in a better world."
4. But how beautiful is Abbado’s version? I mean, really all of it, not just this non-aria... someone should write about it...
5. Yes, I have to say I'm thinking about writing about it. Seriously, and there's a reason. But let's see if it comes to fruition...
