Music for the spirit and the soul


I had the good fortune of running across Avro Part's Stabat Mater today for the first time, and I've listened to it at least four times today. Although I'm not religious in the traditional sense, this recording moved my soul, brought goose bumps to my body and quieted my mind. Does anyone have other suggestions of classical (or other) music for the feeding of the spirit and the soul?

Gorecki's Third Symphony is spine tingling. In fact it hit the pop charts in England a few years back and sold over a million copies.
Yes. The one that is sonically the best of the lot is David Zinman conducting the London Sinfonietta. Whether it is the best interpretation, I am not sure, but the sound is
excellent.
