The first movement of Beethoven's "Spring" Violin Sonata, it's fast and aggressive, but also surprisingly relaxing.

Got anymore?

Satie ~ Gymnopedies
'I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth.' ~ Emily Bronte

The most relaxing work I can remember is "Sur l'étang", from the Suite Languedoc, composed by the French composer Séverac.
So relaxing that I almost slept hearing it, played by Ciccolini.

That metronome movement in Beethoven's 8th symphony makes me grin and relax. Norrington is good there.
I love music. Sadly, I'm an audiophile too.

Never sounded aggressive to me . Quite the contrary, I would say. :)

It is an adagio, but Feldman's Palais de Mari seems to fit ideally in this category.

(A lot of his music doesn't, being surprisingly tense despite the slow tempi and low dynamic levels.)
