Anthony Hopkins to release 'uniquely personal' classical music album.

On Thursday, representatives from Decca Classics announced that the two-time Academy Award-winning actor will unveil Life Is a Dream - an album of orchestral works written across more than six decades - on 21 August. "Music was my first desire, my first wish," he exclaimed. "I've been composing music all my life. Some of these pieces have lived with me for decades and I still find myself returning to them."
