■『ウォーム』('57)
…マティス最初期の1枚( Columbia 通算三枚目)で、彼のビロードのような美声をタップリと堪能できる、バラッド主体のムーディ極まりない逸品だ。 バッキングにはパーシィ・フェイス楽団があたり、チャート的には'57年の年末に最高2位まで上昇している。流石は元全米クラスの陸上選手だったジョニーだけのことはあり、息の長さを存分に活かしたゆったりとした節回しで、スケール感溢れる伸びやかな演唱の数々を披露する。まず特筆すべきはそのヴォイス・コントロールの巧みさと音程の正確さだろう。#8の「アイム・グラッド〜」はヴァースにちょい無調っぽい箇所(歌詞で言うと「…cynical so and so…」のあたり)があったりする、音程の取りづらいシンガー泣かせの佳曲なのだが、ジョニーは事も無げにサラリとこなしてそのポテンシャルの高さを見せつける―個人的に好きなのは軽やかなラテンのリズムに乗って夢みるように唄う#10、ナットのヒットで有名な#11も、その先輩とは違う少年のようなセンシティヴさに胸が詰まる。またパーシィの繊細かつ甘美なオーケストレイションも極上の仕上がりだ。
■『スウィング・ソフトリー』('58)
…通算6作目で最高位は6位('58年9月)、伴奏はコチラもパーシィだが、うって変わってビッグ・バンド・バックでのスウィンギーなサポートぶりだ。 F.グリーンばり(?)のリズム・ギターの下支えも効いている。肝心のジョニーだが、実に気持ち良さそうにスタンダードの名曲を唄い飛ばして行く―その抜群のリズム感、軽妙な表情、余裕綽々たるフレージングは20代前半とは到底思えないほど! ベストはスキャットで締める洒落た#19あたり
かな?

商品の説明
Digitally remastered release contains two albums on one CD. Johnny Mathis released Warm, his third album, in 1957. The album is an example of the classic romantic mood that made Mathis a superstar. The lush, romantic Warm includes "My One And Only Love" as well as "A Handful Of Stars," "By Myself," and "While We're Young." On his fifth album Swing Softly, Mathis sings like you have never or probably will never hear again. It is a nightclub set in a studio. The Percy Faith arrangements on both Mitch Miller produced albums are fantastic, the songs unforgettable, the music finger snapping and irresistible. Mathis swings with such ease on these albums which makes that he is rightly honored with the name The Voice Of Romance.

Fall In Love All Over Again.

A Bargain? NO! This is not a bargain, This is a friggin steal. Two Johnny Mathis albums for less than what we pay for the new stuff. Someone at Sony marketing has definitely dropped the ball on this album. Why it is so difficult to find is beyond me. This is nowhere near the usual one hit plus twenty cut outs or "B" sides you usually get in one of these twofers. This album set hits the spot like a "balmy breeze on a night in May" or "like a cool mint julip on summer day." Johnny Mathis "hits a new high in my estimation." In a word everything about this collection is Superb. The voice,the music,the arrangements,the style. Superb.Superb.Superb.Superb. To be sure there are a couple of old chestnuts in here with Moon in June type intros and all, but Mathis makes them new,I mean new today,2005 new. Please do not forget that these albums are over forty years old and some of the songs are SIXTY and SEVENTY years old but we're still talking about them! Resist, if you can, singing along with "Sweet Lorraine","You Hit the Spot","Like Someone In Love","This Heart of Mine" or my fave up tempo tune,"Can't Get Out of This Mood." I sing along to some songs I've never liked,(I'm an old Doo Wop rock and roll guy.) nor can I sing a lick...but then Mathis makes us all think we can sing, doesn't he? Resist the urge to get up and waltz around to "While We're Young."(This aint' your father's Nelson Eddy stuff.) Listen to how he moves up and down the register, from high "Irish Tenor" like to mid baritone, effortlessly, flawlessly. Hell,the guy isn't singing, he is playing his voice as though a Stradivarius. "I'm Glad There Is You" may induce chills in some. Listen to the other ballads like "By Myself" and "Then I'll Be Tired of You". Some think he sometimes imitates others; He doesn't imitate,he pays homage to those that came before him. Does the last sentence in "My One and Only Love" sound a little "Sassie"? "I'm Glad There is You," and "There Goes My Heart" are superb demos of smooth and easy. Finally, I could wax on and on, but in my humble opinion the best of the best is the title song, "Warm".This number alone is worth the price of admission. Where has this song been? I've never heard it before. This is a beautiful ballad right out of the fifties, early sixties;It sounds like a title song from a movie ala "The Best of Everything" and Mr. Mathis let's it all out here. Again Music,style,voice, it just doesn't get any better than this. Listen to this ballad with your "other" and Fall In Love All Over Again! Pick up more than one copy because your friends will want it. I sure hope Johnny Mathis is still making royalties on these two albums because this is what MUSIC is supposed to be. Sit back,close your eyes and enjoy, Bill

Warm
2004年6月6日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
This was the third album Mathis made for Columbia, and in my opinion, is the best work he has ever done. The album includes some wonderful standards and two songs that were new when the album was recorded. There isn't a dog among them! His mood ranges from wistful on "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face" to confident on "By Myself". It is difficult to pick a favorite among these songs but, after many plays, my choice is "I'm Glad There is You". (I originally purchased this album on 33 LP back in the late 50's and I've been trying to find it on CD for years.) The arrangements by Percy Faith are flawless and complement Johnny's singing perfectly. Johnny is in great voice for this album which gives credence to the first line of "While We're Young". All Mathis fans should love this album. The second album, "Swing Softly" is good too and shows Johnny's versatility, however, "Warm" is far and away the better.

I can't stop listening to these great albums. I've always felt that "Warm" is one of the most romantic albums of all time. There is not a weak spot on this album. The arrangements, by Percy Faith are superb. There're nothing more to say. Absolutely an amazing album.
"Swing Softly" is an LP I've had for years and haven't listened to much. After hearing it on CD, I am furious with myself for not having enjoyed this great collection for all these years. Johnny goes out of his "dreamy" romantic ballad style to give each of these songs a light tempo...just the right touch and it still has that wonderful Mathis Magic. I listen to this CD now every day for 2 months.
I recommend this 2 CD set to anyone who wants to hear the way a song should be sung and arranged.
