All-time best recordings for romance

About 6 years ago or so, Sarah McLachlan was quoted in a blurb in Rolling Stone saying that Peter Gabriel's "Passion" was her favorite music to make love to. I can't fault her taste.

How about "Montovanti plays Lover's Favorites", or maybe a little "Prado Prado's Lover's Moonlight". Some might like things a little thrashier (not trashier) like say Pantera or Danzig. The question has so many answers for so many people. If during your youth or young adulthood you saw the films "Casablanca" from the 40's "As Time Goes By" could be a choice; "Picnic" from the 50's "Moonglow" may come to mind. "Elvira Madigan" from the 60's, Mozart's 21st Concerto 2nd Movement could certainly be in the running. "10" from the seventies Ravels "Bolero". I can think of sooo many romantic pieces but not necessarily one recording for all time that would necessarily fit the question posed. I remember when growing up my parents had an album made by Jackie Gleason called "Torch with a Blue Flame", they thought that was romantic. I can think back on my youth and the time prior to marrying my wife. Different recordings bring back different memories of the women in my life. When I hear them I can smile and remember the romantic times we spent together. At this moment my wife and I have OUR favorite which is quite romantic to us. It is called “Vicio” by Simone a Brazilian singer. Both of us love this album and I suppose it would come closer than any I can think of.

Anything by Marvin Gaye.

John Klemmer's Touch album. Guaranteed to positively and romantically affect all females except biker women. Good Luck.

I suppose each person has a slightly different concept of "romance". As a man in his late 50's, my all-time favorite "romance" album, which is also superb music, is Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue". In a bit more recent vein, I also like the recordings done by Charles Lloyd over the past 10 years. "Fish Out of Water" and "The Water Is Wide" (his latest release) are both excellent. You might also check out some of the ballad recordings by some of the great jazz saxophonists, such as John Coltrane, Zoot Sims, Art Pepper, Ben Webster, Lester Young. Last, I'd suggest many of the recordings done by jazz piano giant, Bill Evans.
