So I must be behind in the classical industry because I had no idea Sir Anthony Hopkins will be debuting his music compositions next year.
In July of 2011, Hopkins joined the Birmingham Symphony Orchestra at Birmingham Symphony Hall to introduce a performance of his original compositions and scores from some of his best-known films. His album is the recording of nine original works from that evening including pieces composed for two films (that he not only scored for but in addition directed and starred in; 'Slipstream' and 'August')
'Anthony Hopkins: Composer' will be available from 16th January 2012 through Amazon, HMV, Play.com and iTunes via Classic FM.
