Soaring classical music for Valentine鈥檚 Day romance

Mahler's musical sealed with a loving kiss to his beloved Alma wraps up Mozart's tender trio Soave sia il vento and Bollywood's most cherished love song.

Mahler's musical SWALK to his beloved Alma wraps up Mozart's tender trio Soave sia il vento and Bollywood's most cherished love song. There's a swooning Amor dicea by Monteverdi too, and Rachmaninov's Lilacs, written at the same as his April wedding. Then a chanson rendition of Satie's Je te veux and a melting Stranger in Paradise - and how could any Valentine's Day be complete without a bit of Romeo and Juliet?
