"…this DVD works because the principals all give strong performances. Antonnacci and Scholl in particular make the strength of Rodelinda and Bertarido’s relationship strongly believable and the key to the whole drama. The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment under William Christie give a fine performance, imbuing Handel’s accompaniments with the necessary crispness and bounce. For its musical values alone this DVD is highly recommendable. I hope that the disc will generate new admirers for what is one of Handel’s finest operas."
