I've always enjoyed James Horner as a composer, and with A Beautiful Mind he managed to create a subtle and beautiful mood of drama and romance while still building tension around the subject of the film. The music works really well for the film, representing Nash's brain working through his complicated genius and also touching on the love his wife showed whilst dealing with his disease. "Of One Heart, Of One Mind" is one of my favorite tracks. Its' soft and gentle piano touches, together with warm strings shows the love of a wife to a husband, complete and unconditional.

Charlotte Church offers her angelic voice on the main theme "All Love Can Be", and this accompaniment is in perfect harmony with the film and Nash's own personal triumph. I will comment that it's nothing new from Horner. Not his best, in my opinion, however, it's a beautiful score and I enjoy Horner's quiet and simple style here.
