Writing for The Independent , Louis Chilton observed there was something “wonderfully, life-affirmingly sweet” about Hopkins’ music, which shifted between “bright, brass-led fanfares to elegant waltzes”. “It’s been a dream for the Decca Classics team to work with Sir Anthony Hopkins, Gustavo Dudamel and all those involved in this beautiful record, which reflects a lifetime’s passion and work,” she said.

Some of these pieces have lived with me for decades and I still find myself returning to them,” Hopkins said of the album. “It would be easy to sound patronising about Hopkins’s passion project, were it not for the fact that it is legitimately good,” he said.
