Released in the fall of 2013, “Love Is Born at Christmas” had a wildly successful debut! I’m especially grateful for all those who have shared personal stories with me about how it’s touched their heart. Here are some public responses as well:
“David Edelfelt is a masterful voice helping to re-imagine the Great American Songbook while breathing new life into this timeless music. His vocal range is second only to the depth and breadth of his emotional range. All music should inspire and captivate us as he does on this new album.”
— Rich Daniels: Musical Director for The City Lights Orchestra & 20th Century Fox TV
“Music lovers have something to cheer about this season.... one of the year's best. His plush bass-baritone commands attention in any repertoire... but it’s particularly well-suited to holiday fare that's all about warmth, love and hope. Edelfelt conjures more tonal nuance than one might have believed a single voice could produce in such familiar fare.”
— From Howard Reich’s review in the Chicago Tribune
“Edelfelt's mellifluous baritone invokes memories of crooners like Bing Crosby and Perry Como, even as he gives familiar tunes distinct, contemporary stylings… This disc, I bet, will be a fave for listeners for years to come.”
—From Andy Probst’s NY’s American Theater Web, where the recording was listed as one of the “12 CDs of Christmas”
“It’s impossible to listen without grinning… Edelfelt offers a singular healing tribute.”
—From Carla Gordon’s NY Cabaret Scenes Magazine
