Editorial Reviews

On July 23rd 2011, world-renowned actor Sir Anthony joined the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra on stage at Birmingham Symphony Hall to introduce a performance of his original compositions and scores from some of his best-known films. Composer is the live recording of Sir Anthony's original works from that evening, including pieces composed for two films that he not only scored but also directed and starred in.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Impressive March 10, 2012
Format:Audio CD
I heard the interview on NPR this morning and am VERY impressed. What a talented man. He was initially interested in music before acting and has combined the two in some of his films.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant! March 10, 2012
By Laura
Format:Audio CD
I was absolutely blown away by the 1st song they played during this morning's NPR interview: The Plaza It was like Big Band on speed! I didn't hear the other Waltz number. Would've been a "driveway moment" but I had an appt. Bravo, Sir Anthony

5.0 out of 5 stars Composer Lovely! March 10, 2012
Format:Audio CD
I also was listening to NPR this morning and when I heard "The Waltz goes on" I was so impressed with it's loveliness
that I had to remain in the car to see who was being interviewed. One of those NPR drive-way moments! Sir Anthony is certainly a multi-talented actor.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great and varied composer
I liked most of the music in this album. He is quite a composer. I only wish he did more impressionistic work. He has the heart for it.
