For reflection and the sould: Bach's Unaccompanied Suites for Cello - any or all of them - recording artist not that important here - any who attempt them have what it takes in my opinion. Also good is Vaughn Williams' Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis.

For a long walk: Beethoven's better piano sonatas; Schumann's Fantasy in C; Brahms' Sonata No.1 for Cello (and piano.) Dvorak's Symphony No. 9 (From the New World.)

For high energy work or play: Wagner's Ride of the Valkeries is good (there is a solo piano transciption that just about blows my mind.) Some Led Zeppelin songs come to mind, although I can't remember the names. There's also a really great Queens of the Stoneage song that I also can't remember.
