If, by this point, you've enjoyed most of the other theme music albums, and are in want of something new, then this album is for you. It contains ten symphonic rearrangements of various themes heard throughout the Yamato episodes and movies (except for Final Yamato). These are ensembles of violin, guitar, piano, and backing orchestra. As the name implies, it's a little romantic, and could easily serve as nice background music even for people who do not recognise the melodies.
It has a nice violin/piano rendition of "I Remember You", ree-titled as "You Be There", which is probably the closest arrangement you will find to the piano version actually heard in the Second TV Season, as Derek Wildstar and Nova set the Argo on its collision course with Zordar's dreadnaught (unfortunately, that arrangement never made it onto any of the CD albums).
Many of the titles on this album are actually re-titles. That is, the melodies have different names when heard on other albums.
