SIX GREAT RECORDINGS : SIX GREAT SONGS AND ARIAS (3) 2023 RESTORATIONS : COLOUR PHOTOS

The recordings on the video are as follows ;
0:00 Beniamino Gigli : Ah! non mi ridestar (Werther) (Massenet) Rec 1946
2:59 Kirsten Flagstad : Ombra mai fu (Serse) (Handel) Rec 1949
7:24 Fritz Wunderlich : Dies Bildnis ist bezaubernd schön (The magic flute)

15:52 Titta Ruffo : Marechiere (Tosti) Rec 1923
18:34 Luciano Pavarotti : Nessun dorma (Puccini) (Turandot) Rec 1973
I have restored/remastered the older mono recordings but the Pavarotti recording is the original 1973 stereo issue. Just for effect, at the beginning and end I have added applause.
I've created a playlist of the "Great Recordings" videos that I hope to steadily add to and if you wanted to listen to them all the link to the playlist is https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwIuFmWuGenqvDYORPncxOSyn7Y6Vy_Zc
I think that what follows is a translation of the Mario Del Monaco recording.
Far and away, unapproachable to your steps
There is a castle called Montsalvat;
In the middle there stands a luminous temple,
As precious as nothing else on earth is known.

A vessel of miracoulos blessing
Is guarded inside as supreme sanctuary.
It has been brought down by a host of angels,
To be cared for by the purest human beings.

Annually a dove from above approaches
To reinforce its miraculous power;
Its name is Sangrail, and it grants blissfully purest believe
To its knighthood.

Who is predestined to serve the Sangrail
It prepares with supernal power;14
Every evil's deception is lost to him,
When he sees it, death's power vanishes;

Even to him who is sent by it to alien lands,
Appointed as fighter for virtue's justice,
His holy power will not be taken away,
If he goes unrecognized there as its knight.

May the Sangrail's blessing be ever of so noble cast,
It must flee the layman's eyes when it is unveiled.
Therefore you shall not doubt the knight,
If you recognize him - he has to leave you.

Now listen, how I reward the forbidden question:
By the Sangrail I was sent to you:26
My father Parzival wears its crown,
His knight, I - am called Lohengrin.
