Wonderful cleanliness of tone, and the ornaments are superb.
I like this type of Handel singng, but I also like the bigger tremulous voices too.
I don't think there's right and wrong - all types of approaches to Handel have their merits.
It sounds mainly like a soprano straining to be a boy treble.Whilst it is technically perefect(or was) it has no emotion and might as well be a robot.
I apologise to those who like this very "English" type of voice,which I thought (and hoped) had died out years ago.
Obviously not!
I love her and Ruth Holton for similar reasons. No melodramatics just pure empathy.
