“…if you want the true messianic experience that’s closest to what the composer intended and its first audiences actually heard, you’ll go for Portland Baroque Orchestra’s annual complete version, performed on replicas of instruments of the Baroque era…and in the styles and tunings of the time. They’ll be augmented by the superb local singers of Cappella Romana and a quartet of well-regarded guest vocal soloists, including Portland Opera’s Hanna Penn.” —Brett Campbell, Willamette Week
