Concert Review: Portland Bach Experience Features Lively Pieces, Strong Ensemble - Portland Press Herald

"The Orchestral Suite offered a good opportunity to focus on the new ensemble, which seems admirably experienced in the niceties of Baroque performance practice."

"[Isaacson] let the string melody sing, without overemphasizing it, and her brisk readings of the remaining dance movements ...were vigorous, tightly unified and carefully accented."

"... the trumpet trio commanded the attention in the opening movement, and at various points in the work where Bach wanted to evoke the glory and power of heaven, the choir produced a lovely, flexible sound."

"The soloists...all delivered shapely, focused performances."
