Ever get touched?

The Largo from Dvorak's Symphony No. 9 (New World) never fails to get to me. (And I'm not a huge classical person at all.)

I was trying to find Largo from Dvoraks Symphony No 9 and I can't find it....I found similar music titles but they did not have the word Largo in it.

Tamara,
It's the second movement of Symphony No. 9. Sorry - should have mentioned that in my first post!

Lately, the "Harkstow Grange" movement of Percy Grainger's "Lincolnshire Posy" really starts the waterworks!

Very powerful!

Oh yes! I particularly love Ravel's "Pavane pour une enfante defunte", the oboe solo and the last part where the harp is more exposed made me cry the first time I heard it. To me that must be what it's like to be escorted into Heaven by the angels.

Other awesome pieces are Tchaikovsky 5 (movement 2), Dvorak's New World Symphony,the 2nd Movement of the Mozart Piano Concerto 23 (used in the movie "The New World" if you've ever seen it), and Vaughan Williams' "The Lark Ascending".
