I'm not closely familiar with many operas, but I have watched this DVD many times. Its considerable length contains a great many exquisitely beautiful songs. Handel is such a melodic composer; every singer in this opera delivers (extremely well) several wonderful pieces. The set is good; I am truly impressed by the portrayals of Rodelinda, Grimaoldo, Bertarido, Garibaldo, Edwige...all of them! Congratiulations to all involved, past and present.
