Tchaikovsky is indeed one of the masters of the Romantic period, and you could use music from one of his ballets–say, Swan Lake or Romeo and Juliet–if you want an orchestra sound and a lot of emotion. Another good choice for a sweeping orchestral sound would be a symphony by Brahms.
If you want less instrumentation, try a piano concerto by either Chopin or Liszt.
On the other extreme, the grand showmen of the period were Verdi, Wagner, and Berlioz. Try listening to part of La Symphonie Fantastique (Berlioz), Tristan and Isolde (Wagner) or Aida (Verdi).
The theme song from Somewhere in Time.
Tchaikovsky would be your best best, he wrote classical music during the romantic period, and it goes very well with romantic literature.
