"One of the most important composers of our time." (Kingston Whig-Standard) Marjan Mozetich's compellingly beautiful music has found favour with outstanding artists, critics and audiences around the world. "His music generates the kind of joyousness you feel when you hear the young Mozart." (Toronto Star) "imploring with ... fullness of melodic beauty" (Dusseldorfer Feuilleton).
His aim is to write music that expresses beauty, sensuousness and emotion -- things that give him and his audiences pleasure. This CD from CBC Records captures three of Marjan Mozetich’s orchestral compositions. When CBC Radio broadcast the concert performance of Mozetich's 1997 violin concerto, Affairs of the Heart, the switchboards lit up from coast to coast. There were numerous reports of what those who work in radio sometimes call "the driveway experience": where listeners are so captivated by what they're hearing, they remain in their cars, listening to the end, even though they’ve long since arrived home.
JULIETTE KANG is the featured violinist. The Passion of Angels (1995) is one of a rare breed of orchestral works featuring two solo harps, and it is the first such work by a Canadian composer. Mozetich says that "it was the Edmonton Symphony's harpist NORA BUMANIS, and JULIA SHAW, former harpist of the Calgary Philharmonic, who specifically wanted me to write a piece for them. Their genuine love of my music was an inspiration." Postcards from the Sky is the collective title of an ongoing series of short pieces for string orchestra. As the title suggests, these works are relatively short, evocative thoughts on the heavens at large, either literal or metaphorical.

"Congratulations to the CBC for the latest of its ongoing CDs documenting the music of Canadian composers. When the title piece was originally broadcast . . . CBC switchboards across the country reportedly lit up with calls from captivated listeners." Toronto Star

Absolutely superb!, August 15, 2009
Review By:Brent Straughan Every time I buy this CD and loan it out, it doesn't come back and I have to buy it again! "Postcards from the Sky" is by far the most beautiful Canadian string orchestra work known to me. Excellent, December 9, 2008
Review By:Teresa Wing-Yan Lo This is the best CD I've ever owned. To date, I've given 4 away to family and friends.
