Has no one mentioned Philip Jones' brass ensemble yet? They're awesome.
I'm personally not a huge fan of Canadian Brass. I don't know if it's sacrilege to say that, but they don't really impress me that much. Don't listen to me though, make up your own mind.
I think earlier Empire Brass is phenomenal. Coincidentally Sam Pilafian left about the same time Rolf Smedvig's playing started to go downhill, but they put out some great albums before that.
As for orchestral I'd look for old CSO recordings. Can't go wrong with Jacobs man. I found Reiner conducts Wagner for 1 dollar in a bargain bin about a year ago, and I just listened to it today.
