RELAXING & ROMANTIC INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC...
~

Joshua Bell's Romance of the Violin masterfully interprets romantic classics. A well-selected program, beautiful arrangements, and an outstanding violin performance.

The Candlelight Guitarist's Music for Rest & Renewal (with nature sounds). My favorite relaxation CD, I've listened to this one weekly for years. Contemplative classical-jazz-Spanish guitar. Fine wine & cheese romantic music.
