Released by Real Music in the mid-1990s, A Romantic Collection – Eternity I & II brings together two companion albums that stand as timeless showcases of New Age and instrumental artistry. Across thirty carefully selected tracks, this double set highlights some of the genre’s most beloved musicians, offering listeners a serene and deeply emotional journey.

Eternity I (1996) opens with Nicholas Gunn’s A Place in My Heart, a track that immediately establishes the romantic and ethereal atmosphere of the collection. The album weaves through tender compositions like Kevin Kern’s Sundial Dreams and Hilary Stagg’s A New Beginning, where harp and piano create moments of peace and hope. Govi’s Embrace and Sailing Away bring warmth and gentle rhythmic flow, while Shastro’s Lavender Moon offers a more mystical touch. Each piece is thoughtfully placed, culminating in Kevin Kern’s After the Rain, a soft closing that lingers with quiet beauty.

Eternity II (1997) continues the mood with fresh textures and slightly more adventurous arrangements. Govi’s Magellan’s Beat adds a rhythmic spark, while Hilary Stagg’s Sweet Return captures the essence of tender reflection. Michael Hoppe’s Moon Ghost Waltz stands out as a hauntingly elegant highlight, balancing romantic sentiment with classical grace. Meanwhile, contributions from Mars Lasar, Two Thousand Two, and Frank Steiner Jr. expand the palette with sensuality, dreamlike melodies, and atmospheric soundscapes.

Together, these two volumes form a seamless listening experience, where every track flows naturally into the next. The compilation succeeds not only as a collection of romantic instrumentals but also as a portrait of Real Music’s signature sound during its golden era. For listeners seeking tranquility, inspiration, or simply a soundtrack to quiet moments, Eternity I & II remains a captivating and enduring set.
