All-time best recordings for romance


What is your vote for the all-time best hedonistic music--- music to set the romantic flames afire? PLEASE let's maintain the high road on this. I have no desire to see this most genuine inquiry turned into a discussion thread for jokes, porn, smut, etc. Thank you in advance for your good 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.
Whatjd With reference to Sarah Vaughn I really like her album "Coloring Book" on Mercury which brings back great romantic memories at a later time than the release for me. Unfortunately the recording is so poor but Ms Vaughn was at the height of her gifts when that album was made in the 60's. SD Campbell I also am a big Bill Evans and Miles Davis fan. "Kind of Blue" is a great album.
