Any system ever moved you emotionally like this?

Below is a recent quote from the LA Times from a concert violinist after he had played a violin made by the late 1600's master, Antonio Stradivari.

"After I played the Mendelssohn Concerto on it, I cried like a baby," McHugh recalled. It was "smooth, as sweet as could be. . . . It was something I had a love affair with."

Ever been moved to tears by a system? If so, what song was playing and what comprised the system?

The only music that creates this type of strong emotion for me is opera or live electric guitar where the composer/writer uses long lines and phrasing, e.g. in ilTravetore and some of Knopfler's live solo work. And if Alex Lifeson can't evoke tremendous emotion from someone, I really have to wonder if they have a heart at all. (OK, now back to baseball and beer.) Good thread BTW.

Sarah Brightman, IL MIO CUORE VA, which is My Heart Will Go On, from Titanic. The first few times I listened, I got the chills. Halfway through the song, after the interlude, she changes her voice to her opera voice, and that's the chills. Course I'm a sucker for sopranos and powerful melodies. Wadia 850 direct to Mesa Baron, speakers home grown, Scan Speak drivers. Very interesting thread, Mitch!
