May I add Elgars' "Serenade for Strings", "Sospiri", and "Elegy". Personally when I need music to completely relax and destress me I often turn to renaissance sacred choral music, and even to Russian Liturgical music. And people that have gotten to know me know that I am as ardent and obsessed about anything and everything horn as anyone I have ever met. Paxmaha

Hopefully the groups will have the technical and musical maturity to play these but if they don't move you-then they have no soul. I'll give you, there's nothing like the sound of a "tight" brass group, but the same holds true for strings and woodwinds (including those infernal things by "he who shall not be named"). All of this HLF (higher-louder-faster) stuff is for the birds. Bring back musicianship!
