Ernani is an operatic dramma lirico in four acts by Giuseppe Verdi to an Italian libretto by Francesco Maria Piave, based on the 1830 play Hernani by Victor Hugo.
Verdi was commissioned by the Teatro La Fenice in Venice to write an opera, but finding the right subject took some time, and the composer worked with the inexperienced Piave in shaping first one and then another drama by Hugo into an acceptable libretto. As musicologist Roger Parker notes, the composer "intervened on several important points, insisting for example that the role of Ernani be sung by a tenor (rather than by a contralto as had originally been planned).
Ernani was first performed on 9 March 1844 and it was "immensely popular, and was revived countless times during its early years". It became Verdi's most popular opera until it was superseded by Il trovatore after 1853. In 1904 it became the first opera to be recorded completely.

I've listened the aria multiple times and compared it to all the basses and bass-baritones that played Silva. However, I noticed that the end of the aria have different notes(high and low notes) when Silva sings "Mi dove vanglianni almeno far di gelo, far di gelo ancora il cor"(in a high range)/"ancora, ancora il cor"(in a low range). Is there a difference in how the bass sings at the end of the Infelice aria? I am asking this because I am a true bass, in fact only one in a university church choir, and I'm learning from the great singers of the past with real singing as oppose to those that have difference techniques than basses like Pinza, Siepi, Ghiaurov, Treigle, Neri, and Crass.

The endings, as sung by Siepi and Abdrazakov, are alternative ones.
Both magnificent IMO.

You can't go wrong singing what Verdi actually wrote! Honor the composer's intentions.
