His career was unusual: he studied music at Oxford University in England, but after graduation he competed in the rowing events at the London Olympics, winning a gold medal. His musical works are unfortunately not so well known, but the works included here are all considered to be among the greatest contributions to the Romantic piano works in Australia. While Chopin and Scriabin's influences can be felt, the countryside sounds and gentle tunes seem more in tune with his British contemporaries, such as Elgar, Iceland, and Vaughan Williams. The wild and passionate songs may be similar to the worldview of Brahms and Schumann. Although each piece is a \"little piece,\" it has a unique worldview and emotional resonance, and these recordings show that Kelly was on his way to becoming a great composer.
