Agreed, Jim.
And I would add well recorded piano solos of Brahms Waltz No. 3 and Moonlight Sonata to your short list! While all of like to show off our system with some huge, spectacular piece, it is the simple melodies and performances that move us the most.
I just bought an XRCD recording Super Double Bass by Gary Karr off eBay. The recording quality is absolutely stunning and the first cut "Amazing Grace" overwhelmed me to the point of tears - not something that recorded music can't accomplish very often!
