Upon returning to Hong Kong in 1986, Anthony released an album, "Anthony Lun's Composition Collection".

He entered the competition at the initiation of Poon Kwong Pui who wrote the winning song, "Lyrics". The song is also available in his second, self-titled album. In 1990, he released an album called "Man Behind The Piano" and the song of the same title became a hit.

The notable theme song, "何日" (When) was sung by Anita Mui. In 2001, he also composed the score for an award-winning movie Peony Pavilion (遊園驚夢).
In 2004, he held a concert, "HKPO x Sandy x Anthony LIVE", with Sandy Lam at the Hong Kong Coliseum featuring the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra[2].
