Anthony Hopkins releases the first single of his music career at the age of 88
Two-time Oscar-winning British actor Anthony Hopkins has signed a global contract with Decca Classics to release selections from his orchestral compositions written over 60 years, and has released his first single, “Bracken Road,” inspired by his childhood memories in Wales.
British actor Anthony Hopkins, star of the films "Silence of the Lambs", "The Elephant Man" and "The Remains of the Day", has taken an important step in his career at the age of 88.
Hopkins, a two-time Oscar winner and a successful musician and composer, has signed a recording contract with Decca Classics to release selections from his orchestral compositions written over the past sixty years, in the largest musical project he has signed to date.
Hopkins said in his statements: “Music was my first desire and my first wish. I have composed music all my life. Some of these pieces have been with me for decades, and I still find myself returning to them.”
His first solo song released after signing the contract was entitled “Bracken Road,” a piece he chose from “Suit for Solo Piano and Orchestra,” which he composed in 1947, inspired by his childhood memories in the Margam region of South Wales.
