    I agree, and that it's a goosebump moment!!

    It was your phrase that made me jump!
    "...the isle is full of noises,
    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

      Yes to all those Walküre moments mentioned by others. And another from Bruckner 8: not one of the loud perorations, but the magical quiet chorale on the Wagner tubas, first heard around 6-7 minutes into the Adagio (8½ for Celi, 5 for Schuricht...). And a Baroque one: that place in the opening Sonatina of the Actus Tragicus (BWV 106), where the recorders move from unison to thirds.

          A few minutes before the end of Ein Heldenleben after the chanting passage in the horns, there's a magical change of key as the strings steal in as a sort of hearts ease, which never fails for me, especially in Karajan's first stereo recording.

            Here's a good example of conductors' interpretations. Almost no conductor (Boult included) obeys Elgar's markings through this wonderful passage. Elgar keeps the whole thing p or pp (I don't have a score in front of me) until only the last bar or two, when there is a huge crescendo. Vernon Handley observes this meticulously, but (just perhaps)) it fails to grab me in the way that Solti does, even though Solti's version is not Elgar's.

                The start of the Liebestod - especially if Nina Stemme is singing.
