‘The orchestral playing is splendid and full of vitality with excellent solo work and obvious dedication to the music…A great addition to the light music discography.’
John Whitmore, Music Web International, 20th March 2015

‘John Turner is the nimble soloist here, and Barry Wordsworth and the Royal Ballet Sinfonia tender spick-and-span support; indeed the playing throughout is commendably alert, and the sound agreeably clean to match. Altogether, a very likeable compendium.’
Andrew Achenbach, Gramophone, March 2015

‘Kelly’s music is highly accessible and the two Christmas suites “A Christmas Celebration” and “Nativity Scenes” are the perfect accompaniment to the festive season. A lovely collection of bright orchestral tunes by a composer who is well worth discovering.’
John Brunning, Classic FM, 8th December 2014
