About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

James Horner's Academy Award-, Grammy-, and Golden Globe-winning score for Titanic became the top-selling film score of all time, but the composer, neither daunted or overshadowed by that success, continues to show his stylistic diversity, as he has repeatedly in the past with his work on Braveheart and Enemy at the Gates). His latest is an elegantly complex score complementing the drama of a brilliant, schizophrenic mathematician (portrayed by Russell Crowe) recruited by the U.S. government to crack Soviet codes. For a thriller segment, "The Car Chase," a solitary, plinking piano and wordless vocalizing against an ominously swelling orchestra embody the sound of danger. The main character's downward spiral into madness is implicit in "Alicia Discovers Nash's Dark World," and is eloquently expressed by a chorus of swirling violins and muted piano chords. To illustrate the romantic and optimistic aspect of the story on "The Prize of One's Life," a harp cascades luminously, only to be capped by the otherworldly purity of Charlotte Church's soprano in "All Love Can Be" (lyrics by Will Jennings). Horner's masterful score, coupled with Crowe's compelling performance, show that A Beautiful Mind would indeed be a terrible thing to waste. Andrew Velez, Barnes & Noble

February 22, 2005: Although I am a fan of many of Horner's soundtracks, I am especially delighted by this compilation from "A Beautiful Mind." The tracks all blend perfectly with each other and there is a continuously rolling feel to the CD that takes your heart from playful harp and piano touches to powerful orchestrated and string sections. His use of poignant dissonance is really what is key to the success of this music, and he employs it masterfully.
