Most emotional classical piece

I was toying with the idea of posting a requiem excerpt by either Duruflé or Pärt, but then I remembered a piece that... well, it just wins for me.

Poulenc's Concerto for Organ, Strings, and Timpani
It's a pretty intense piece of music overall, but what sells the emotional arc of it for me is the section starting around 12:30. It's amazing how many key centers Poulenc travels through in the five minutes after that and still somehow manages to keep everything sounding grounded and cohesive in the bigger picture.
