i can't comment on how it feels to sing these composers as i am not a singer, but as a hearer and accompanist i have long considered Handel to have written especially well for the voice and to have fit the music to the words extremely well. i really think his vocal music is his great glory. (too bad there are so many beautiful Handel opera arias with less worthwhile texts, to put it mildly.)
