Joseph Previte beat me to the punch by writing:

>The third movement of Bruckner's 8th is always calming for me.

I have two other favourites: the slow movement of Ravel's Piano Concerto
and the opening section of Vaughan Williams' Phantasy Quintet for Strings.
The Ravel is well enough known not to need advocacy but if you haven't
heard the Vaughan Williams, the opening especially is exquisite.
