j'aime!!!!!

What is this marked as? an andante or allegro? I like the slow interpretation, but I think the standard is a bit faster. Handel is one of those composers whose music can remain powerful and enjoyable even when different orchestras and conductors use different interpretations. Music is like literature in this respect. Great literature welcomes multiple interpretations and modes of thinking, A good piece of music does this as well. Anyway, great piece. Handel is a boss.

I find it a bit too slow for my taste, the singer is a fine one.... can you tell who is directing and the soloists??

No I cannot. The disk set was simple and didn't indicate the names of the soloist or the conductor. It only specified the orchestra.
