Anthony Hopkins signs a record deal with Decca Classics and is set to release a new classical music album titled Life Is a Dream. The releases come next month through the label. Decca says the project features compositions written by Hopkins, performed by the Philharmonia Orchestra and conducted by Gustavo Dudamel. Rolling Stone and Deadline both report that Dudamel is the conductor on the album, and both cite Decca Classics as the label behind the release. The album centers on Hopkins’ work as a composer, bringing the project to a classical audience through Decca’s classical imprint. Neither outlet indicates that the album includes cover material as a main focus; both describe it primarily as recordings of Hopkins’ own compositions. Details on track listing or publication format are not provided in the excerpts, but both outlets frame the agreement as a new recording commitment for Hopkins under Decca Classics.
