with custom English subtitles The Royal Danish Opera in Copenhagen Conductor: Sixten Ehrling Saul: Leif Roar David: Kjell Magnus Sandve Mikal: Eva Johansson Jonathan: Stig Fogh Andersen Samuel: Jorgen Klint Abner: Christian Christiansen Fortune-teller in Endor: Minna Nyhus Abisay: Elsebeth Lund a guard: Anders Jakobsson a girl: Antje Jansen Note: The video comes from a murky, badly encoded grey market DVD that is itself sourced from a VHS recording of a Danish television broadcast that contained hardcoded Danish subs. I carefully timed and positioned the English subs to cover the Danish. In addition to its other deficiencies, the original video was marred by a roughly 10-second gap in the audio near the beginning of Act I. Unfortunately, this is the only copy of this telecast that I was able to locate. In order to remedy this disruption in the audio, therefore, I substituted the missing section of music from an unrelated audio recording of the opera with a different cast. Far from an ideal solution, but I think it plays better than if the audio were absent altogether. That said, hopefully another copy of this classic performance with eventually turn up.
