The closest I've ever been to tears whilst listening to a piece of music was the first time I heard Contrapunctus XIV. The recording was by Menno van Delft at the harpsichord.
I feel rather strange having confessed that in wake of all these tales of full-blown orchestral scores, crashing timpani, flurring strings and thousand-strong choruses. I didn't cry, because it wasn't really sadness. Music makes me feel emotions that I doubt one encounters by any other means.
