“Her style is a mixture of Broadway musical punch and jazz inflected subtlety. She has the belting defiance of a torch singer at times and the knowing raised eyebrow rasp of a blues artist, but also a hushed, confiding intimacy where it is appropriate, it is a blend that invites the widest possible audience” THE GUARDIAN
“Elaine Delmar has it all, her peerless vocal quality matched by carefully-honed interpretative skills … she’s a national treasure” JAZZWISE
“If somewhere in paradise a cloud is reserved for Kiri Te Kanawa to sing Mozartarias throughout eternity, not too far away another one must be set aside for Elaine Delmar to sing Gershwin ... the evening was pure gold.” THE NEW ZEALAND HERALD
