The Ricordi *urtext* edition should solve the problem. And under $30
too.

If you wish to stick to the score that is.

I have the piano-vocal score with the original ending. I am looking
for a written version of the flamboyant Caruso coda. I have never
heard anyone else sing that phrase with more panache and elan
(whatever that means).

Try to get Luigi Ricci's VARIAZIONI-CADENZE TRADIZIONI PER CANTO. Volume 2
is for tenors etc. Publisher is Ricordi.

Panache and elan are matters of taste; objectively, Joseph Schmidt sang
it with more precision.

The standard coda is printed in footnote in the Schirmer anthology
edited by Larsen.

It's seems to signify a combo of high-level style, excellence, and
genuine enjoyment from the performer - both at his own accomplishment
and the audience's appreciation thereof.

I, too, find Caruso's coda the most impressive, with the exceptions of
Peerce (Cellini's classic album) and the also-great Josef Schmidt.
Had he been Jewish, it can only be speculated as to what a Cantor
Caruso might've been; his very good friend, the "Ergster Chazzunnah of
Them All", Josef Rosenblatt, seemed to think so, while Caruso had
similar opinions on the Cantor's operatic *potentials.

Best,

*Wouldn't have happened, due to the Cantor's strict Orthodoxy
precluding the demands of an opera career, often entailing Sabbath
performances, etc.
