Sophie Daneman is definitely one of my favourite Handel performers; her recordings of Theodora and Acis and Galatea are particularly special. While I think the magic of her phrasing is best displayed in English language pieces (and Lieder), Daneman does some very special things in this Aria such as accentuating the sighing motifs in this piece which heightens the erotic nature.

Aria Cleopatra (nelle vesti di Virtù) V'adoro, pupille, saette d'amore,
le vostre faville
son grate nel sen. Pietose vi brama
il mesto mio core, ch'ogn'ora vi chiama l'amato suo ben.
Aria Cleopatra (in the role of Virtù) V'adoro, pupils, darts of love,
your sparks
they are grateful in the sen. Pietose greets you
my sad heart, which now calls you his beloved ben.
