Albert William Ketèlbey: Bells Across the Meadows

British Light Music, Vol. 14

Sylvia Čápová, Slovak Philharmonic Male Chorus, Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra, Adrian Leaper

Albert Ketelbey was an excellent pianist, touring Britain and honing his craft as an expert tunesmith as musical director of London’s Vaudeville Theatre. The delightful miniature In a Monastery Garden placed Ketelbey at the forefront of British Light Music composers, with its birdsong and atmospheric chants delivering a ‘glow of exultation’ that proved hugely popular in its day. From the unashamedly sentimental Bells Across the Meadows to the impressive Suite Romantique and the famous In a Persian Market, Ketelbey’s music takes us back to a nostalgic era of palm court salons and imaginative reverie.
