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.
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?
