Beyond his achievements as an actor, Hopkins has long nurtured a deep passion for music and composition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHopkins shares his most personal musical project to date, entitled Life Is A Dream. Performed by Grammy Award-winning conductor Gustavo Dudamel and the Philharmonia Orchestra, the album presents new recordings of original works inspired by Hopkins’ family, Wales and a lifetime of experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Music was my first desire, my first wish,\" says Hopkins. \"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.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe new recording project features works written across different periods of Hopkins' life, revealing a composer whose music shares the same emotional depth and storytelling that define his screen career. Here is an intimate musical memoir shaped by loved-ones, imagination, and heritage. Several pieces draw directly on his Welsh upbringing and the landscapes of his boyhood, while others reflect important people and experiences that have accompanied him over the years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
