专辑介绍

‘Anthony Hopkins - Composer’ is the recording of nine of Sir Anthony’s original works from that evening including pieces composed for two films that he not only scored but also directed and starred in (‘Slipstream’ and ‘August’).

Sir Anthony’s love of the piano and fascination with orchestration has not waned during his exceptional career of Oscar-winning celluloid performances.

From discovering the chapter on orchestration in a volume of his father’s Harmsworth’s Self-Educators encyclopaedias as a child, he has drawn inspiration from people, places, memories and moments in life to create beautiful, nuanced works of music that showcase his flair as a virtuoso musician and his vision as a talented composer.

The scraps of melody and sounds that were first jotted down in childhood have evolved over the years into pieces inspired by childhood memories of Wales, time spent with his parents and grandparents, plays he has seen, films he has worked on, holidays taken, dreams he has dreamt and loved ones including an enchanting aria dedicated to his wife Stella.

All these inspirations and more are represented in Sir Anthony’s classical music compositions.

Sir Anthony Hopkins says: 'I’m very pleased I’ve found an extra string to my fiddle. For years I mused and dreamt about turning my scribbled thoughts and bursts of melody into pieces of work to be performed by a full orchestra and to see this dream turn into a reality through working with CBSO and now Classic FM is something I treasure very much.'

As a child, Sir Anthony dreamt of 'one day, perhaps, one day' becoming a composer. With the release of ‘Anthony Hopkins - Composer’, both his and his mother’s dream is now cemented for all to enjoy.
