Good question, but difficult to answer. Heifetz playing Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto comes to my mind immediately. His performance of Bruck's Scottish Fantasy and Beethoven's Violin Concerto also rank high with me.
Oistrakh's recording of the Bruch Scottish Fantasy is one of my favorites, even more than the Heifetz version (which I also like very much); it's been reissued and sounds terrific. And an old Shearing recording (mono) playing the Bach Partita No. 2 that my brother occasionally brings over also tends to move me greatly.
