Adagio For Things

S2E9 - He goes by many names. Hannibal Lector, Dr. Robert Ford, and sometimes even Anthony Hopkins. But there is another title that needs to be added: Maestro. That's right. Our favorite Sir Anthony Hopkins has become a composer. On this episode, the Season 2 finale, the trio does a cursory analysis of his recent compositions, as well as explores the world of genre-crossing celebrities. Afterwards, Will interviews composer and collaboration enthusiast Tom Morrison. Special Note: This episode was recorded prior to the recent passing of composer Christopher Rouse. As Will and Tom mention Rouse during their conversation, we wanted to acknowledge his incredible influence as both a composer and person. We at Adagio For Things highly encourage you to give his music a listen. To learn more about Tom Morrison and their music, check out https://tom-morrison.com [https://tom-morrison.com].
