Sir Anthony Hopkins on his debut album: 'My first love is music'
Conducted by Gustavo Dudamel and performed by the Philharmonia Orchestra, the album gathers 12 compositions Hopkins wrote over six decades.
- On August 21, Sir Anthony Hopkins will release his debut album, 'Life Is a Dream,' featuring 12 original compositions recorded at London's Alexandra Palace earlier this year through Decca Records.
- Though best known for his 70-year acting career, the 88-year-old Hopkins considers music his first vocation, with the collection drawing from his childhood memories growing up in Wales.
- Conductor Gustavo Dudamel led the Philharmonia Orchestra in recording the 12 compositions, with Dudamel saying, 'This is wonderful. He is one of the most astonishing people I've met.'
- Hopkins describes the music as containing 'melancholy and sadness,' reflecting his belief that life is a 'long goodbye,' while he finds music offers more freedom than acting's rigid discipline.
- Live performances may follow the album's release, with Carnegie Hall topping Hopkins' professional wish list, fulfilling a dream rooted in his mother's childhood encouragement.
