5 out of 5 stars Juliette Kang.......2006-03-23

I bought this CD because I heard Affairs of the Heart on Radio Two, CBC, Here's to You show, and every few minutes found myself exclaiming over Kang's magnificent performance. A treasure.

5 out of 5 stars Mahler meets Glass--and so much more.......2003-05-26

After hearing Passion of Angels on public radio, I ordered this cd and have lived with it over the last six months, a mainstay in my travels. New things keep revealing themselves to me in the tonalities which intially I classified simply as contemporary versions of High Romanticism. Some of the repetitions, too, I lumped at first in with post-modern Baroque minimalism. But these classifications, while handy, and while they may explain some of the residual styles informing the pieces on display here, do not do justice to the whole. Mozetich has accomplished something new from the remains of the tradition--and it is a legacy worth preserving. I have liked this cd so much I have given it as a gift. Mozetich has left us a gift indeed.

4 out of 5 stars Schmaltz that works.......2003-03-24

You have to give Mozetich credit for writing such anabashedly Romantic works as he entered the 21st century. The album's liner notes detail his struggle to pursue this path. Decades ago, professional critics and musicologists would have railed against these regressive works. Now, I think they've just thrown up their hands and joined the classical public in luxuriating in the saccharine nature of these works. The "Postcards" and "Passion" have received lots of airplay on Canada's CBC2 radio network. That's how I heard them. Initially, I regarded them as pleasant, contemplative ear candy. But then, something happened. A sweet young woman I knew died suddenly. At once, the "Postcards" and "Passion" took on a whole new meaning for me. I realized that they reflected her nature perfectly. Those works were a great consolation to me through my mourning period. Even Mozetich's shameless use of the main theme from Tchaikovsky's "Pathetique" symphony in the "Passion" works. The "Affairs" concerto flirts dangerously with the sterile, mechanical style of John Adams in its orchestral accompaniment, but Mozetich's lush Romantic harmonies and melodies still manage to triumph. Like me, you may think you've become too jaded and post-modern to enjoy such sugary music. But let down your guard for a few minutes and come with me to wallow in this near sublime Romanticism. I did it; you can too.

5 out of 5 stars This may be the best CD in my 500+ classical collection.......2003-02-28

I'd like to meet Marjan Mozetich.

I bought this CD for "The Passion of Angles" that I heard on PBS a few months ago. But before I could get to my "passion", which was the 5th cut, I started at the begining........to my wonderous ears appeared "Affairs of the Heart" that I have grown to love with as much or possibly even more passion.

Now understand that I am a classical freak. Example, I currently have 21 CD's of just 3 works. I love anything from Beethoven on to Rachmaninov, not much outside this, although I am always looking for the next "classical" contemporary composer.

By "classical" I mean if it doesn't have a melody, count me out. It has to have a melody.

Mozetich is my man. These two pieces are understated works of art. They have beautiful, simply stated melodies....they are not over orchestrated, and the combination of harp and violin in these concertos is just plain breathtaking.

...Unhesitatingly, and without conditions, this is one of the best composed, played and recorded pieces that has come down the pike since Rachmaninov's piano concertos.

It would have been interesting if Marjan would have put a second movement in the middle of these two pieces and called the whole work something like "The Affairs of the Angles". Bravo Mr. Mozetich...I would like to meet you.

Maybe you can get Ken Schermerhorn and the Nashville Symphony to play these works.

5 out of 5 stars Affairs Of The Heart.......2007-04-01

Considering what she's known for I am not sure if Jody Wately intended this as a concept album but 'Affairs Of The Heart' sure sounds like it.The album blithly explores the many facets of relationships and talks about subjects like family,love and spiritual connections.Musically the album is Jody's well balanced mixture of high tech ballads with some house and New Jack Swing material.The title song is one of the greatest songs Jody has made;her great sense of songwriting style and her vocal power really come to the surface here.Without mentioning who she's referring to she touches on spirituality with the wonderful "It All Begins With You".But this album is not all about ballads;"Dance To The Music" represents the "old" Jody Wately on a powerful house tune.Every song on this album is excellent especially if you are open to high tech musical styles.But musically 'Affairs Of The Heart' has an awful lot going for it.

5 out of 5 stars One of her best cd's @}>---.......2006-07-03

I have always been a big fan of Jody Watley (I even have her exercise video). This is one of her best cds, if not the best cd. It has some stunning songs on it and even now, all these years later I still listen to it (I only have it on cassette - it's that old).
She has a beautiful soft, but yet powerful voice and she suits all the arrangements on her songs. The title track Affairs Of The Heart is possibly one of her best songs she's ever done. There is also the beautiful It All Begins With You and Commitment Of Love and the more up-tempo I'm The One You Need. If you are a fan of Jody's or just that early 90's R&B music, then this cd is for you. It's so good and you'll love it, I'm sure.

5 out of 5 stars She Had An Affair With My Heart.......2006-04-21

Affairs Of The Heart is a masterpiece in my book. I am in total flux as to why MCA did not push this album. All the songs are much older and mature. Sexy. Sensual. Mesmerizing.
My faves are: I Want You, I'm The One You Need, Commitment Of Love, It All Begins With You, Dance To The Music, Always And Forever and Until The Last Goodbye. Each & every song showcases her in different facets of her life. To me, Affairs Of The Heart is one of her many personal albums. If you like good dance music along with mature sounding soul, get it!

5 out of 5 stars Great album........2002-12-28

This album is great. It contains uptempo songs and ballads. Some in the music industry try to fit artists/entertainers into particular categories and seem uncomfortable when an artist grows beyond those artificial barriers. While Jody is exciting as a dance artist, she also is wonderful on other types of songs. My favorite songs are: 'Affairs of the Heart' (heartfelt message of encouragement to the younger generation), 'It All Begins With You' (recognition of God's fundamental presence and a desire for personal growth), 'Always and Forever', 'Stolen Moments', and 'Commitment of Love'.

5 out of 5 stars Affected My Heart.......2001-02-05

Jody Watley has always been underrated and this album is an example of that, this is a good album, an album that should be considered one if not her best, "I Want You" should have been a hit but for some reason was somewhat ignored hitting #51 I believe, but the second song and the albums' best release "I'm The One You Need" took her to #19, which should have gone Top 10 was also underrated and I love that song, then this is the song I can't understand why it didn't do well, "It All Begins With You" and beautiful ballad, definitely desevered #1 status but stalled at #31 explain that, this is one of those good albums that isn't giving a chance and in this case that is a shame. The title song "Affairs Of The Heart" and "Call On Me" are also winners from this album. Sorely Underrated, Jody Watley's best work, and I love this artist.

      Album Description

      47 swingin' minutes of music, including a dozen Henn-penned originals, 3 covers & a smattering of soundbites. A core unit of acoustic bass, guitar and drums - augmented by organ, piano & horns - gives the tracks a very organic feel, blending jazz & old-school r&b. And on top of it all: Ritt's lyrics, laced with a wit that sometimes simmers, sometimes boils. Check out the scorching Otis Redding-meets-Sonny & Cher version of "Home on the Range" & the reverential reading of "All You Need Is Love."

                  Album Description

                  From Australia to the Middle East, Kennedy Jenson has made a solid impact upon the music world. Kennedy is the consummate example of a versatile performer, sliding effortlessly from country to pop to musical theatre. In 1995, Kennedy got serious about one style in particular, jazz; and recorded a collection of standards produced by Tommy Banks. This venture has led Kennedy to become one of Canada's finest jazz vocalists and her CDs are getting rave reviews from radio stations all across the country. Jenson works with Tommy Banks on a regular basis and not only has Kennedy been the opening act for the likes of Ray Charles and the Mills brothers but can hold her own as a feature concert performer as well.
