This Ron Howard film parlays the troubled story of Nobel laureate John Forbes Nash Jr., a gifted Princeton mathematics professor tormented for decades by paranoid schizophrenia, into something considerably richer than typical Hollywood triumph-against-all-odds fare. Howard has teamed here again with frequent collaborator James Horner, and it's the composer who deftly shades the film's difficult emotional landscape and helps impart a compelling humanity. Horner's first task is not inconsiderable: musically portraying the arcane realm of mathematical theorems that are the story's backdrop. In doing so, the composer leans heavily on modern minimalist technique, bright flourishes that recur briefly throughout an orchestral score that increasingly reflects Nash's bleak inner landscape in its quietly somber and brooding tones. And while Horner has frequently been accused of excessively repeating himself in his scores, the neo-minimalist gambit employed on this reflectively pastoral, postmodernist soundscape neatly nips such criticism in the bud. Nash's triumph is ultimately an intensely personal one, well reflected in Welsh soprano Charlotte Church's lilting performance of the Horner/Will Jennings ballad "All Love Can Be." This enhanced CD also features notes by the director and composer, as well as exclusive photos and the film's trailer. --Jerry McCulley

 A Beautiful Score January 12, 2010
S. Boe (Orlando, FL)
Loved the score more than the movie. Haunting, energetic, and evocative, this work by James Horner surely is a masterwork.
A Beautiful Soundtrack September 28, 2009
J. Wright
This is a simply amazing Soundtrack. James Horner combines flowing vocals (Charlotte Church), with an intense orchestral sound. This is culminated best in "Alicia Descends into Nashes Dark World", in which a four-note theme is repeated for seven minutes, without growing old or repetitive. This is a simply amazing soundtrack. Buy it!
A Beautiful Soundtrack August 17, 2009
Ibison (California)
I knew that I had to own this soundtrack when I first heard the music in the film. Haunting and emotional, I like listening to it when I'm in the right mood. I wouldn't classify it as "background music" to set a pleasant atmosphere in a room, because it demands attention--but not in an obnoxious way.
wonderful music June 20, 2009
E. N. Westlake
Some of the best classical music being written these days is movie scores.This score is first rate.
 Another Excellent Work by James Horner December 16, 2008
Busy Dad (Albuquerque, NM USA)
When watching A Beautiful Mind for the first time several years ago, I was immediately drawn into the musical score and felt that it brought an extra dimension of depth and emotion to the film. I love the fact that they got Charlotte Church to provide the voicing and she adds a great deal of beauty to the various pieces. Listening to the score brought back those feelings and now I can't wait to watch the film again. Bravo James Horner!
