"Freden (Leine) might only be a small dot on the map but the Internationale Fredener Musiktage have become an essential part of the German music festival landscape. Over the years the scenic Leine valley has turned into a sort of summer residence, where every individual artists's musical whims can draw on new strength and ispiration far from the metropolitan hustle and bustle. So it is not surprising that more and more top national and international musician play in the camerata freden and join again each year to produce an exquisite festival ensemble." Stereoplay (12/01/2003):
"(...) Die camerata Freden, das Festivalensemble der Internationalen Fredener Musiktage, spielt mit ungemein lebendigem Drive, aber nicht weniger mit bestechender Perfektion und Eleganz: hochkarätige Wiedergaben dieser unbeschwerten Musik, die ungetrübte Freude machen."
