Yep, but what put me onto him was the fabulous tune 'Sailing By' that
used to close R4 in the wee small hours, after the Shipping Forecast. A
truly magical experience hearing that late on a balmy summer's night, I
can tell you!.

Except that it's not by him. It's library music - the sort issued for pro
use where you don't buy the actual CD but just pay for the usage. And
played by session musicians. It may of course have been issued
commercially afterwards.
