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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I bought this CD right away when I see it at the local store!

I'm planning to buy the rest Enoch Light reissues on CD.

THIS DAME CAN SING!..........2004-03-09

Singing a collection of folk songs and ballads of Great Britain, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa puts her glorious soprano to interpreting these simple favorites. As a result, an astonishing recording has emerged for those who favor folk songs. Simply arranged and accompanied by members of the National Philharmonic Orchestra, as well as by the Medici String Quartet, the songs resonate with the mark of Dame Kanawa upon them, making them more memorable than ever.

The use of a small orchestra and the prominence of the harp is most effective, rendering the accompaniment an appropriate backdrop for the most important instrument of all in this recording, the magnificent voice of Dame Kanawa. There are fifteen glorious tracks on this cd that are sure to delight the discerning listener, particularly those who are attuned to the folk tradition in music. My particular favorites are "Early One Morning", "Annie Laurie", "Greensleeves", and "Danny Boy".

British Folk Songs And Ballads Sung by Dame Kiri.......2003-01-26

Dame Kiri Te Kanawa presented to her listeners with 'Danny Boy (Folk Songs & Ballads)' a wonderful collection of folk songs and ballads from the British Isles. I've always loved folk songs and the tracks of which this album is comprised are very well loved and in all cases classics, whether they are credited to anonymous composers or not. All of these songs appeal directly to the listeners's ear, at least this is certainly valid in my case as these songs forever dwell in a corner of my heart. Dame Kiri's beautiful, lyrical soprano is perfectly suited to these simple and appealing songs and on this album she is in truly glorious voice. With tenderness, humour, warmth Dame Kiri delivers a beautiful, superb and poetical performance of these songs. Effortlessly she brings out every shade and nuance of these songs. The members of the National Philharmonic Orchestra directed by Douglas Gamley and The Medici String Quartet lend her a very strong and solid support. The booklet contains liner notes and the texts of the songs.

Her interpretation of Thomas Moore's 'The Last Rose Of Summer', 'Éarly One Morning' , 'The Ash Grove', 'She Is Far From The Land', 'The Sally Gardens' (Yeats), 'Danny Boy' and especially the unforgettable 'Greensleeves' are riveting, ravishing and achingly beautiful. She's perky and humorous in 'The Keel Row', 'Comin' Thro' The Rye', 'O Can Ye Sew Cushions' or 'I Have A Bonnet Trimmed With Blue'. All in all for those who love Dame Kiri and the lovely British folk songs and ballads which are featured here an indispensable and truly beautiful album.

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

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.

Excellent CD mastering!.......2007-07-05

The CD transfer of this classic early "stereo exploitation" album is absolutely wonderful! The Varese label used the original two track masters and did an expert job with the CD mastering. Enoch Light productions, such as this 1959 release, had very imaganitive arrangements performed by top notch musicians and made wide use of the, then new, stereo format. The CD also includes 6 bonus tracks culled from the lp Persuasive Percussion Vol. 2.

Persuasive Percussion.......2005-12-19

I love this music. Is this a CD or record? It doesn't state.

GREAT SONGS...GREAT ARRANGEMENTS!!!!.......2005-01-02

How lucky I was to get the CD of these wonderful recordings. This album was one of the early examples of "hi-fi" back in the late 50's and early 60's. How vivid is my memory of the bongos first playing from the left speaker...and then from the right one. And that wonderful sound! I could close my eyes now and relive a moment in time--playing the album as a teen in my parents' finished basement in Brooklyn. (In those days bongos were "cool" and my friends and I would sometimes play our bongos to the beat..or so we thought...what cacophony!) My original '33 record somehow disappeared over the years...but the memory lingered on. One day from out of the blue the thought hit me to order the CD. It wasn't immediately available and I waited for several months for it--but this is truly an album worth waiting for! Order it..you'll enjoy it, as well!!

"Lounge Music at It's Finest".......2003-06-11

This is a classic album of the late 50's, by today's standards it would be referred to as "lounge" music. I would secretly put this on the "hi - fi" when my parents were not around, it was, and still is "swingin'! The stereo version is totally a trip, with instruments "bounching" from one channel to another.

This is a must for any collector!

Sound of the Sixties.......2002-08-10

In the 60's, Command Records had put out a lot of high quality instrumental music albums, the "Persuasive Percussion" series is one of them. I grew up with this kind of music, the original LP was the signature Hi-Fi Album of that era. Terry Snyder and the All Stars' (Command All Stars) performance is second to none and the producer Enoch Light had created a unique sound for this series. If you want music to reminisce the old days, this is the one to have. This CD incorporated the whole LP of Vol.1 and 3/4 of Vol.2 of the "Persuasive Percussion" as a single CD which make this a great bargain. Enoch Light who originated and produced this album also has another album which is equally great, titled "Far Away Places starring Enoch Light and His Orchestra", I hope that it will be available in the coming years.

spaced out pop a la beatles.......2005-08-30

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

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.

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!

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.

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).
