A prolific composer of light classical music, Bryan Kelly has been writing in many different genres since the 1940s. This Heritage release features some of the music Kelly has composed for orchestral forces, recorded this year with the Royal Ballet Sinfonia to celebrate his 80th year. The music is very accessible and Kelly is well-known to Classic FM audiences. His Epitaph for Peace, featured here, will be pre-released as a digital EP to coincide with Remembrance Day commemorations for which it is written. The two Christmas suites – A Christmas Celebration and Nativity Scenes – are guaranteed Classic FM and BBC Radio 3 airplay during the seasonal period.
