What a sweet, honest, and humble man. Hollywood could take a lesson.
Amen, watching his reaction as he watched the orchestra made my heart melt.
Why just Hollywood?
@@andrewm8063 These are qualities that a large amount of actors need to learn
Mr. Hopkins. Your waltz is beautiful but thank you for going in to acting.
Well as a listener of classic music, i really wish he could have remained in music composing even though i like him as an actor, But music composing and classic music is a world of its own, i think he would have been very successful
Thefreethinker John : Well as a composer of concert music, the field is not very kind and had Mr. Hopkins gone into classical music composition, we probably would never would have heard of him. How many contemporary composers can you name? Do you the know the composer in residence at any of the major US orchestras? Or the last winner of the Pulitzer Prize?
Mr. Hopkins had potential, but I am truly grateful that he went in to acting.
Marc Parella it is not about becoming a name, rather should it be the legacy you leave behind, something for your generation and maybe the world to enjoy. As much as I love flicks, music is a universal language, understood by all living creatures and when this language becomes a true art, it will never go out of fashion.
Yes it is about becoming a name.
@@thefreethinkerjohn4013i totally agree he could give more beautiful classics ❤
This man is amazing in every single aspect of him. Humanity at its best.
He has charisma and that is sorely missed in many new actors.
That's because a lot of the new and young actors are exactly that. They are young, hungry, and have more of an ego. It's part of being young.
Wisdom and humility often come with age.
Hi Anthony, love your music and piano playing, be well, may God watch over you and your family!
Sir Anthony Hopkins, your waltz proves what a great composer you are ! ...
One of the finest pieces of music I have heard to this day. I am absolutely impressed. The combination of the genius of Andre Rieu and Sir Anthony Hopkins has created a brilliant, artistic and beautiful musical experience.
his piece is cute, however, you definitely haven't heart much music to this day...
EmperorMato Actually I have, and I will thank you not to draw assumptions about me, as you do not know me.
The main theme of this waltz, reminds me of the intro instrumental theme of lead song of the classic Russian movie war drama "The Cranes Are Flying (1957)"
Totally agree ❤
This refers to earlier comment I made
Most of us knew sir Anthony Hopkins is one of the legendary actor in the world, some of us knew he is a great music lover and composer. But few knew he is also an excellent painter. What a gift.
I heard this tune a while ago!!! Shame on me that I didnt know he wrote it!!! Well done!!! A knight in all its meaning!!! A true gentleman that exceeds in all he does!!! My favorite actor by far =)
Thankyou for your wonderful music. Later and later We have this special opportunity to share the music and compose it with André Rieu we like and adore him a lot. This music was fantastic and amazing. André is special the best in the world. He is a respectable and stunning man together with his Orchestra. His son is also very special in his performance to me and the world ❤❤❤🎉❤❤❤
A true gentleman and a beautiful Human being. Thank you Sir Anthony
Interviewer sells him a bit short... he's one of the best actors in the world, period, not just one of the most renowned villains. He's a true Renaissance man.
This is amazing to me because it is so difficult to do a waltz. Happy he found Reiu, two great artists have made a stupendous wonderful peace of music for us. Blessings!!! Huzzahs!
Anthony Hopkins. What a man. So modest and such a lovely sweet personality. 💙
Amazing! His legacy will someday now be for some of the scariest work and some of the most beautiful work ever done. What contrast!
Really a great man and wonderful actor... really enjoyed the waltz , many blessings Anthony Hopkins...
Anthony knew what sort of person he needed to interpret his music ,Andre has a very special gift and the two together are fantastic Beryl
Amazingggggggggggggggggggg :) The Little Boy from South Wales . Thank you Andre Rieu and your Outstanding team . This Waltz will never die x
Very interesting video !Congratulations Sir Anthony Hopkins ! Congratulations Andre Rieu &JSO ! Fantastic masterpiece of music !
Anthony Hokins, you have thrilled me with your absolutely magnificent waltz!!
I love his advice about always hanging on to a bit of self-doubt and always striving to be better at what you do...whatever it may be.
This master piece was hidden from the world for 50 years! When I’m a little down it’s what I listen to!! I love it!! Full of love and joy!
A truly wonderful interview, I so appreciate his talents! Can on just imagine on living with that talent within himself? I receive chills just listening to this sensational waltz, and as well watching Silence of the Lambs.
My heart just flutters. His acting, his music cannot be described! I would love to meet him, I just would love to meet him!!
Creativity is in all of us, and to bring it out of oneself for others to be inspired and enjoy
50 years is a long time to wait, but its been well worth waiting for, Sir Anthony had doors open for him from being a great actor, to have this masterpiece played
Thank you for sharing your creativity Sir Anthony, and what an amazing result from Andre
What a fantastic piece!!! He’s brilliantly talented in all he does!!! ❤️
'The Bounty' is one of my favorite all-time movies, I absolutely adore Sir Anthony.
It's always amazing to be able to experience an other person's passion that you were unaware of.
Played in Silence of the Lambs. About 16 minutes on screen. Got an Oscar for that.
Only Sir Anthony Hopkins could pull that off.
November 7, 1964 composed by Sir Anthony Hopkins, ‘And the Waltz Goes On!’ Performed by Andre Rieu & his JSO! 🙏🏼
WONDERFUL! ♥️🌹
A lot can be learned from his humility and grace. Cheers, kind sir!
God Bless him. Great actor and great person. best choice
His Waltz is simply amazing like his acting skills.
Mr Hopkins u are genius and your music fantasic, awesome, amazing, spectacular!... It is my favorite waltz ...Thank You !
I dread to think how many more of such wonderful pieces of music lay still somewhere in the drawers around the world... suffering from their authors' shyness to come out with it...
The whole piece is AMAZING but that ending...gaaah hair stood up on my arms and I loooooooved it!
Very beautiful and from one of my favorite actor played by the best of the best Andre Rieu !!!
So very great I am a fan of his acting and this music in Waltz is amazing it is a great composer. and musican I have dance on this waltz with my husband when it was my birthday
Superb !!! So pleased I have met and known him!
What an amazing Waltz what a multi-skilled artist! Great to see that he worked with André Rieu.!
What a nice and modest man he is !
The young Anthony Hopkins looks a lot like ballet dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov. Anthony is an amazing composer!
Isabella A Rossellini I hadn't thought of that, but now that you point it out, I totally agree! Great observation.
I enjoyed Mr. Anthony Hopkins' movies before knowing that he was also a composer of one of my favorite Waltz musics. Great Waltz!
Belated congratulations to Mr. Anthony Hopkins still count. Right?? 🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊
His music is LEGENDARY. This generation just doesn’t value art like they one have unfortunately.
Sir Anthony Hopkins and Andre Rieu, An assured success.
I would love to hear Mirusia sing "I dreamed a dream". I listen to your orchestra and Mirusia every morning and I can't stop from crying when she sings "Over the Rainbow". If I had the money I would travel to Europe to see your performance and maybe try to see them ALL. This song written by Anthony Hopkins was done so beautifully... well everything you play is outstanding. I had a dream many, many years ago which was to tour Europe. Holy cow what beautiful things to see, but my life has killed my dream. GBY all for giving so much beauty to this world. It helps us forget for a little while all the horrors going on world-wide.
Anthony is a class act. And a legend :)
I should add I love him dearly. He is a fantastic actor, and so superbly gifted, in so many ways. Most beautiful natural and great human being!!!!
What a nice man. His Waltz is just beautiful.
Оба великих достойны уважения и восхищения! Браво МАЭСТРО АНДРЕ и СЭР ХОПКИНС 👋👋👋❤️❤️❤️
Naturally he is musically gifted. This often happens in Welsh families. Some of the finest choirs are in Wales, as well.
I could listen to this piece for hours, along with Dr. Ford from Ramin Djawadi.
Wonderful Sir Anthony, that your dream comes true! And lets be honest: only André can make your dream come true!And the Waltz and good life goes on...vive la vie ! Tomorrow is mystery, Yesterday is history, but what I saw Today is a gift ! Thank you. Xxx Dutch girl named Ada de Laive
‘Music for the Gods’ is the stuff of music which is beyond words - yes, it is a language of its own only the ‘soul’ can hear. This Waltz by Anthony Hopkins does that. . . It is music worthy of the orchestra of Heaven as it reaches to heights many composers have not reached even in an entire lifetime. He is WORTHY of the name COMPOSER as one of his best and important accomplishments. This music will live on for generations to come and shall pass the test of time well beyond our mortal lives. . .
A marvelous performance in 'Silence . . . '. We r blessed to have him.
Such a beautiful piece of music.
I wish You a king life full of succes mr.Hopkins..
I have only two words to say " FANTASTIC and WONDERFULL"
David
nice nice Sir Anthony..... hope you'll 'doodle' around again, there are great notation software on the market which makes composing very easy and fast, and there sure is plenty more music stories in you that you can let out, you said music began since you were a little kid......... let that river flow - it is most fantastic and will blow your mind each time to hear your own music with your ears.
Music is the world's most beautiful language as it transcends borders and all limits of humanity. While some music can literally move me to tears, others move my soul to deeper emotion or seem to send every cell of my body as if it had some sort of ‘nuclear power’ which pierces and transcends to the core of my being - ...while it sends shivers down the spine ...becomes as if it grasps your heart and 'makes it beat for you' ...making you float on a cloud into ‘another level of heaven’!
November 7th is my birthday! Glad to know i can associate his work with my life.
Thank you Anthony Hopkins what a talent. ♥️
If I was your teacher back then I would have encouraged you in what you are good at in school ... Piano and Composing. The fact that you Act, Direct and Paint brings me great joy.
We can do it all. Even when failed by State Education. You sure showed the Bullying British Academics that control Education. Lol. I love that. ♥️♥️♥️
True stories change lives, so thank you so very much for sharing your amazing childhood story with us and showing us that it is ok to DREAM. Sadly, school has not changed. Creative brilliant minds like yours are still punished. But we will win this battle with Kindness.
Elite Academics label us Dyslexic Disabled. But I think they are jealous. You are hardly disabled. Your a blinking Genius. 🥰♥️🥰
Wonderful interview ! Thanks Richard Wilkins !
Sir Anthony to you Mate!
what a great human being
Anthony remembers the day and date of things that have happenend in his life. Very indictive of a person with aspergers or Autism. He is consistent in saying this, in all interviews, always the day and the date, very interesting!
He is amazing, he's not just an actor or just a musicien no that man is an artist.
The main theme of this waltz, reminds me of the intro instrumental theme of lead song of the classic Russian movie war drama "The Cranes Are Flying (1957)"
MovingMutant it just reminded me of Russian movies in general, first thing came to my mind when heard it.
Bravo! It's a spectacular piece of music...
Minunat actor,compizitor etc Thank you Andre'
You are a good, good man Anthony Hopkins
Anthony is Welsh and so am I Both born in South Wales and proud to be Welsh
I love it! Wonderful interview!
Wonderful Video of Andre with his wonderful playing on the violin and Anthony Hopkins, how talented he is. Merry Christmas to you and your Orchestra Marion UK
I love his waltz And the Waltz goes on.
I had a dream about sir Anthony Hopkins playing the piano in my house. It was so pleasant I was upset that my alarm rang 😢
Wow what an extraordinary person you are... I finding music to the most difficult thing one can do. This piece is amazing and then to think you are such an extraordinary actor.
wow... just wow...
That is why the "Sir" is for a reason.
Dois génios.
Maestro André Rieu e Sir Antonny Hopkins.
Maravilhosa valsa.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Fantastic!💕💕
What a lovely, humble man
GREAT TALENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
two great artists united in the joy of music
They're all dead, and he's alive! That's funny :)
Hope to have Anthony around for many, many more years to come.
two great minds make great music!
Amazing!
Very cinematic music,
I'm an audiologist- call me the sound doctor :).. I clinically deal with individuals with hearing and balance disorders, but I have a passion for music and have always had an "ear" for music, would love to compose something someday. maybe with the great Sir Anthony Hopkins & Andre Rieu?? just kidding. but seriously. one can dream, right? ...
Es bellísimo el Vals ,,dos grandes dieron vida a este Vals fantástico ,bravo
Потрясающе! Два великих таланта!
Wonderful
Caro André, as músicas de qualquer "composer" ficam mais lindas com você. Parabens ! Parabéns Anthony Hopkins;
Gave me "goose" good goose bumps!
It bothers me that I am only finding out about this talent of his now....this video is 2 years old and I only learned about his "And the Waltz Goes On" just a few days ago through Facebook!! Arg! I love it!! Have we heard it in a movie? It sounds familiar! I am thinking I would have heard it in a movie like Anna Karenina (Keira Knightley)!
yeah, I know the feeling of finding things almost too late in one's life
At least if I ever get married, I won't have missed out on playing it during the reception and maybe coaxing my groom into practicing a beautiful waltz with me! ;)
Me ha encantado muchisimo.
Esta llena de emociones y alegria y a la vez recuerda momentos difíciles de la vida.
Bravo !
immaculate
Andre please come to South America!
Can not find the words for this.
I can see his beautiful soul.
