The Gabrieli 3 orchestra sections recording reminds me of the glory of being a tuba (and brass) player.
Elgar's Enigma Variations (CSO, Solti) reminds me of why I'm a musician: it has everything--life, death, love, hope...it makes me glad I'm alive. Along the same line, check out the Nimrod variation: this and the transition between the 3rd and last mvt. of Beethoven's 5th give me the shivers every time.
