With his crystalline articulation and extraordinary rhythmic prowess, John Williams ranks among the greatest solo voices the acoustic guitar has ever known. Now, with the joyous evocations of the African guitar tradition, Williams has hit upon his most emotionally satisfying crossover recital to date. Though both chief soloist and arranger, Williams nevertheless avoids shining the spotlight on his virtuosic skills--even his solo showcase, "Masagna," places greater emphasis on the tune's folkish incantations. He allows plenty of melodic space for the likes of steel-string player John Ethridge, while guiding listeners through the idiomatic flora and fauna of the pan-African experience: from the hornpipelike airs of Madagascar ("Mitopa") and kora-styled arpeggios of Mali ("Malinke Guitars") through to intimations of South African vocal traditions with a lovely children's chorus on the anthem of the African National Congress, "Nikosi Sikelel'I Africa." Simply expressive and deeply felt, Magic Box exudes a universal vibe that transcends borders and nationalities. --Chip Stern

5 out of 5 stars perhaps my favourite jw.......2004-10-20

you gotta give it to john, he tries new stuff. and traditionalists may snob his later recordings, he has a gift of bringing life to guitar music.

the repertoire is different, cute and enjoyable.

my only critisicm is that the steel string solos get a bit monotonous in some of the pieces, but this is only because its not to my taste.

5 out of 5 stars Perfect for a quiet, cloudy Sunday Morning.......2003-11-16

I have Magic Box playing and a small water sculpture flowing as I type this and the combination is just about perfect. I wouldn't call myself a sophisticated listener, even though I bought my first Segovia recording as a teenager in the early 1960s and, over the years, have accumulated quite a few recording by Segovia, Isbin, Williams, Parkening, and others. I never tire of listening to these superb guitarists playing Rodrigo and Bach and the other standards but, every once in a while, it is a pleasure to hear something a little out of the ordinary. It takes a special talent for a classically trained musician to handle pop or folk material with any success - as it does for pop/folk musicians to go the other way. Williams does it with ease.

2 out of 5 stars Well intended, but..........2002-12-21

Being quite close to some of the sources for some of these pieces, I was both thrilled that they had been recognized, while a bit disappointed in the actual music treatment on Magic Box, which I found rather tepid and polite compared to the originals.

Paul-Bert Rahasimanana is much better known as Rossy, and he has many albums, most available on Amazon.com. Unfortunately, the links on this page don't tell you that. I have produced him, and toured and performed with him. He's an amazing musician. I hope people take the time to listen to his music.

Another source musician, Ralanto, is on the cover of an album called Moon and the Banana Tree, a 1995 compendium of acoustic guitar players in Madagascar which I produced for Shanachie. Omby, the piece John Williams covers, is on that album, and again, I hope people will take the time to seek that album out as well. Williams recently referred to it in an interview as a real eye-opener. I wish he could have heard Resting Place of the Mists, the companion CD which is already out of print.

Africa (including Madagascar, which is more properly associated with Indian Ocean culture than with Africa) has some of the most astounding guitar players on earth. Hearing an admittedly superb classical guitarist attempt to do that material justice requires that the listener either be unaware of the source, or willing to ignore it and judge the extremely European treatment he offers, which is dramatically inside the limits of the source. With all due respects, I truly hope it will draw some folks to listen to the real thing.

4 out of 5 stars lovely.......2002-11-02

Classical guitarist extraordinaire John Williams has never been afraid to set out on little side-trips, away from the mainstream of the classical guitar literature. Beyond taking part on occasion in big orchestra-backed 'pops' excursions, he has regularly immersed himself in avant-garde, jazz, and even rock projects (for example the band 'Sky'). "The Magic Box" therefore does not really represent Williams doing anything unusual for him, but it does expand his repertoire within the world of folk and international music, in this case the traditional music of Africa. I find most of this material very attractive, but somehow a little less involving than when it is played on native instrumentation (perhaps simple beauties just cannot be improved upon...). Nevertheless, as always Williams executes each item in the program with grace and understanding, and with a level of gentleness and respect that one expects from a classical musician of his calibre. Call it a worthwhile experiment--though I'm not sure I would clamor for an encore.

4 out of 5 stars Expanding the Horizon.......2002-07-18

In pursuing his goal of expanding guitar music beyond the traditional Spanish repertoire, Williams and friends have produced a very enjoyable collection of African style music. The blend of percussion, bass, and wind instruments gives it even more flavor. Particularly delightful is track 3, "Maki," with Williams playing beautiful tremolo and strumming on a bright sounding requinto. Several other pieces give off a similar tropical, mellow, and happy feeling. I'm eagerly anticipating Williams' next project and where he will take us.

World class musicians performing masterpieces. So many sampler CDs offer mediocre performers, but the musicians here are the cream of the crop. The choice of composers is also inspired. This is a great way to test the waters on choral music and find favorites without having to break the bank. One of my all time favorite CDs.

This pairing of Glenn Gould and Elisabeth Schwarzkopf is an essential asset to the collection of any lover of the vocal repertoire. Strauss's "Ophelia" suggests that the last word on German lied had not yet been sounded by the 20th century. Gould's interpretation is not, of course, lushly romantic; it's endowed with his unmistakable, brilliant clarity, and casts a new light. As always, to hear Gould tackle any repertoire remains astonishing. --Joshua Cody

5 out of 5 stars An Interesting GG Set..........2004-05-11

Tennyson's Enoch Arden, edited and set for recital with musical interludes. I've always liked Claude Rains; and, needless to say, GG is superb here: my only complaint is rather in the form of a wish or suggestion: I wish GG (or Sony) had simply released GG playing Strauss' music without recitation. Why? While Rains is great, and the poem is nice--a few times around--it later wears thin: its dated Victorian sentimentality. We end up hearing more Rains and Tennyson than GG and Strauss. Still, this is a unique and interesting performance; and GG's realization of Strauss' piano music is scintillating. The earlier Piano Sonata is great, as well as the Klavierstucke.

GG's collaboration with Elisabeth Schwarzkopf is infamous. GG always admired Dame Liz; and he wanted to record many lieder with her (viz., Schoenberg's, Hindemith's, etc.). The problem was this: Gould wanted to lead in the aesthetic realization of any collaboration. He was able to do so with Menuin, Laredo, and some lesser vocalists, etc.; however, Schwarzkopf was not to be outdone: she was already a great and respected soloist, and she found GG's eccentric vision for realization too unusual. Indeed, she took offense at GG's playing of the songs. So, after a few cuts, the session was called off short--and that was that. Well, what can one say? Sometimes great minds don't always work well together.

nice CD, groovy sounds, but short in length and the recording is not so good. But the songs are catchy and tuneful.

4 out of 5 stars Excelent Album but BUYER BEWARE!!!!.......2003-09-18

As far as the record it self goes, this is a classic "now sound" release. Fat Moog synth, wordless vocals, the whole nine yards. I'm not sure what the other reviewer is talking about these being different recordings. Spaced Out is my favorite among the 30 or so Enoch Light records I own and this is the exact same album as my vintage Project 3 LP.

However, here's the problem, this CD was clearly mastered from an LP. While the transfer isn't terrible, you do hear typical record noise which is really dissapointing. Add in the "low budget" packaging and lack of licensing information, I have to question the legality of this one.

Still, you can't beat the price and if you don't want to take the time to burn your LP to a CD (or if you can't find a copy of the LP) this will do. Not an unpleasant listening expirence, but this album deserves better.

4 out of 5 stars Blast from the Past!.......2000-10-01

I've been an Enoch Light fan since the early 60's. All those movie themes! It was fun listening to instruments coming from the left, then the right. When I saw that "Spaced Out" was on CD I got it right away. I still have the LP (why no liner notes on the CD?). The quality is just as good as I remember. My favorites: "Knowing When to Leave" (Bacharach), "My Silent Song" (Bach), and "Eleanor Rigby" (Beatles). The CD isn't very long (twelve 3-minute songs), but worth a listen. The price is great. Treat yourself to some first-class nostalgia!

5 out of 5 stars Super cool!.......2000-03-20

I have hundreds of records from this time period and this one is in my top 10! Just what you need, classic tunes done with totally flipped-out arrangements that ping-pong back and forth across your speakers (look, it's stereo!). This CD has a cover that's as good as the famous Whipped Cream and Other Delights cover art, with way better music. I recommend you buy it now.

3 out of 5 stars Late-60's Pop Romp.......2000-02-08

Enoch Light has a well-deserved reputation as both an accomplished musician AND a pioneering technical recording engineer. That said, SPACED OUT is a pleasant-if-not-outstanding album from around 1970 (judging by the songs). The material is great: "Bond Street", "Lovers' Concerto", "Walk On By", "A Little Fugue For You And Me" and no less than 4 Beatles tunes: "Eleanor Rigby", "Norwegian Wood", "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" and "Get Back". No complaints, but of all the Enoch Light albums I've heard this was the one that impressed me the LEAST. Sound quality on the CD is excellent. I noticed 2 of the Beatles' songs had also appeared on Light's BEATLES CLASSICS album, but-- SURPRISE! These aren't the same recordings. (Actually I liked the other versions better.) Faint praise, but there you go. I DO highly recommend Light's BIG BAND material, as well as PERSUASIVE PERCUSSION (stunning! ) and BEATLES CLASSICS (if you can find it).

This LP is from my parent. This music from the late 1959. The sound could be better in CD than compare from the LP, but I have touble to get this in CD or MP3. For anyone who is interest in Jazz. This is must listen and have in the collection.

I bought this CD right away when I see it at the local store! I discovered Enoch Light records when I was collecting vinyl records, and I was amazed by the way the "quality of sound and fidelity" of his records. And this was back in the '50s and "60s. I'm planning to buy the rest Enoch Light reissues on CD.

Track 13, Hernando's Hideaway will really give your system a workout and show any flaws. I use this disk to audtion speakers when I go shopping. The salesmen are so taken with it, they usually run right out and buy it. Very listenable also.

4 out of 5 stars Nice cross-over.......2003-03-09

There is only a single track on "The Kiri Selection" that didn't come from one of her other releases, and that is "The World You're Coming Into" from Paul McCartney's Liverpool Oratorio. The rest of her songs can also be heard on "Kiri Sings Gershwin," "Come to the Fair - Folk Songs & Ballads," "From Heart to Heart" with Malcolm McNeill, and "Kiri Sings Kern."

It's a jumbled mixture but Dame Kiri negotiates the songs with a light, brilliant touch, never bringing too much heavy operatic artillery to bear on what are essentially popular songs. For those of you who are not operatically inclined, you may remember this lovely soprano from the 1981 marriage ceremony of HRH the Prince of Wales to the Lady Diana Spencer. Te Kanawa sang "Let the Bright Seraphim" (and wore a very strange hat).

Unlike some sopranos (my chorale director says Dame Joan never sang a consonant throughout her entire career), Kiri is scrupulous about her intonation and you will be able to understand almost every syllable she sings. My personal favorite is her rendition of Kern's "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes:" "They said some day you'll find,/ All who love are blind,/ When your heart's on fire,/ you must realize,/ Smoke gets in your eyes." She sings with intense pathos, yet a little tremble of courage. I can just see her sitting in some chic '30s cocktail lounge, head (with that outrageous hat on it) held high while her friends chaff her about her unfaithful love. She reaches up to brush the smoke or tears from her eyes and pretends to laugh away a remark that was much too personal.

When Kiri sustains a note, she does something with it. She doesn't just sit on it à la Pavrotti and let us admire her beautiful voice. She interprets every nuance of the lyrics, unlike some of my very favorite opera singers who don't cross over into popular music very well, e.g. Domingo, Ramey, Norman, and Dame Joan.

Te Kawana fans, unless you already own all four of the albums mentioned above, this CD is definitely worth your while. Kern and Gershwin enthusiasts will also find interpretations to treasure.

5 out of 5 stars Top Performance.......1999-06-16

I have only just purchased this CD, and I'm in love with it already! Kiri's voice is so incredibly versatile, that you are just STUNNED by her ability to sing Gershwin, Kern and others like a jazz singer. She's incredible, and so's the recording. I'd recommend it to anyone, as Kiri's best CD outside of her West Side Story and full opera performance CD's. Her duet with Malcom O'Neill is amazing, and the way she interperets Gershwin's hits is so neat - far better than I've ever heard. The only SLIGHT moan I would have is that in one or two of the songs, she is a little to far away from the mic, and the orchestra are a little loud. But considering how great she sounds - does it matter? Make this your next Kiri CD purchase.

    5 out of 5 stars Great recordings for those who love swing instrumentals.......1998-11-11

    The recordings on this CD are high quality, and the performances are outstanding. I especially liked that all the arrangements are instrumental, without any singing getting in the way of the pure instrumental timbres. I would recommend this CD to anyone that enjoys big band music.

    5 out of 5 stars This great CD will let you hear the Big Band sound in Stereo.......1998-06-12

    In the early 70's, Enoch Light assembled a group of musicians to re-record some of the most famous songs of the Big Band Era. The musicians had been members of many of the big name bands. They're renditions are true to the most popular arrangements but have the advantage of being recorded in full stereo. This isn't quite DDD quality but it is a vast improvement over the sound quality of the originals. The songs chosen are wonderful too! "Begin the Beguine", "String of Pearls", "Ciribiribin", "Woodchopper's Ball", "In the Mood", "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You", "Well, Git It" (This tune really swings and screams), "South Rampart Street Parade", "Marie", "Snowfall", "Let's Dance". "Take the A-Train". You'll find that these numbers represent a number of the bands and their different styles. This CD is part of a series. Start here. If you like this one, and my guess is you will, you'll love the others. This is a great intro. to the big band sound!
