“I had bought the CD of the Camerata’s Mediterranean Christmas some years ago, meaning to give it as a gift. This week I found it, still in its shrink wrap, and gave it to myself. (Stingy me.) Talk about a wonderful sound!” – Betsy Woodman
“That[Mediterranean Christmas] was such a fun recording to make! There were ten of us from nine different countries. Wonderful people, terrific musicians and a great program! Common language? French. Except for me, that is. Portions of the rehearsals were conducted in French. A couple times the others would start a piece and Joel would stop and ask me why I hadn’t come in. Of course, he had told everyone what we were about to do in French.” – Steven Lundahl
