I took a chance on this CD (featuring popular and classically derived Italian melodies) based on the captivating cover photo of a Tuscan scene. Well, the music therein is as beautiful as the cover art, and I was delighted. The arrangements are lush and the playing by the Globalis Symphony Orchestra (whoever they are) is first-rate. Sixteen tracks in all, the selections range from opera tunes, such as the lovely "O Mio Babbino Caro" by Puccini to the popular "Con Te Partito" by Sartori (better know as the tear-jerker "Time To Say Goodbye" popularized by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman).

Cuddle up with the one you love, open a bottle of wine, light some candles, and ENJOY!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect "Mood" Music, January 7, 2008

A "Romantic" journey, perfect "mood" music...yeah, it had my wife panicing too. We're planning a trip to Tuscany, so I bought this to fill her head with dreams of scenic Italian landscapes. The classics on this CD are some of the most beautiful (and catchy) pieces of music to come from the list of great masters. It has truly set the "mood" for searching airline prices, rental cars and lodging...the tedious part of planning a "Romantic Journey".
