Great pick. To Be Over is another one that falls in that category from Yes. The guitar solo from Steve Howe on To Be Over is sublime. And the outro....Just play that song at my funeral.

Yes’ “Turn of the Century” is quite dramatic with the story of an artist’s recreation of his lost love. The instrumental center of the song (the recreation) is perfect…the best Howe & Wakeman ever sounded together, IMO…

Dramatic is subjective. But this has violin.

Supertramp's "Crime of the Century" is a good example, and so is this. Violins seem to always help, and the vocals especially on the song below.
