Here are a few more for your consideration:

Strauss "Also Sprach Zarathustra" (2001 theme but the complete tone poem) Karajan, Berlin Philharmonic SACD (http://www.amazon.com/Richard-Strauss-Al...0872&sr=1-5)

Rimsky-Korsakov et al, Dorati, London Symphony SACD (http://www.amazon.com/Rimsky-Korsakov-Bo...1052&sr=1-8)

Shostakovich Symphony #5, Bernstein, New York Philharmonic SACD
(http://www.amazon.com/Shostakovich-Symph...1139&sr=1-3)

Mahler Symphony #5, Bernstein, Vienna Philharmonic (http://www.amazon.com/Mahler-Symphony-No...695&sr=1-10)

Bruckner Symphony #9, Skrowaczewski, Minnesota Orchestra, [Enhanced Recording] (http://www.amazon.com/Bruckner-Symphony-...799&sr=1-11)

I have all these in my collection and have resounding sonics not to mention their ultimate musicality and deeply emotional and moving arguments. There are so many more possibilities. If anyone is interested in certain genres, moods, styles...I am sure the knowledgeable folks on this forum can give great recommendations.
