Sir Anthony Hopkins turns six decades of compositions into debut album
Sir Anthony Hopkins is adding another achievement to his extraordinary career: music. The 88-year-old actor has prepared his debut album, 'Life is a Dream', featuring 12 compositions created over six decades and inspired by his childhood and life growing up in Wales. Recorded at London’s Alexandra Palace in April, the album was conducted by Gustavo Dudamel and performed by the Philharmonia Orchestra. It is set for release by Decca Records on August 21. “My first love, or vocation really, is music,” Hopkins explained in a statement, sharing that he began playing piano at age four and wrote his first composition, a waltz, in 1960. Hopkins has previously composed music for films including 'August' (1996), 'Slipstream' (2007), and 'Elyse'(2020), but 'Life is a Dream' marks his first full album. “I find more freedom with music,” he said, compared to acting, which he describes as “a discipline, you have to know your stuff. But music for me is a freewheeling kind of art form.” The collection explores nostalgia, childhood memories, mortality, and “the yearning” he believes lies at the heart of music. From actors who sing on screen to stars who form bands and release albums, Hollywood has plenty of performers with musical ambitions.
