Anthony Hopkins – Life Is A Dream (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Before he was Hannibal Lecter or King Lear, Anthony Hopkins was a pianist, composing at the keyboard since childhood as a way of processing a world that never quite fit. That private practice, kept mostly outside the public eye for decades, is what surfaces here, conducted by Gustavo Dudamel, whose own journey from Venezuela's El Sistema to the world's great stages mirrors Hopkins' belief that music belongs to everyone who needs it.
Sir Anthony’s debut album for Decca Classics, **Life Is A Dream**, showcases his lifelong passion for classical music through a deeply personal collection of original compositions. Recorded with the acclaimed Philharmonia Orchestra under Gustavo Dudamel, the album features performances by pianist Sergio Tiempo, cellist Gregorio Nieto, the Bach Choir, and the Choristers of Winchester Cathedral. Richly orchestrated and cinematic, these emotional works reflect a lifetime of creativity, imagination, and storytelling, marking a landmark new chapter in Sir Anthony’s extraordinary artistic legacy.
