I got the CD of Kirsten Flagstad singing this at Abbey Road in 1948, and it is equally sublime, but this does show that men can sing the pieces as beautifully as any woman. and Handel certainly intended a male to sing it.

Agreed, in fact I first heard it in a church sung by Canadian counter tenor Daniel Taylor . Sublime , even  more so when heard live.
