Super Mario Galaxy (1+2). Orchestrated music should be a must for main Nintendo games at this point, outside of Zelda (and the Pokémon anime, although that one's not strictly Nintendo or used in actual games, sadly).

Dishonered, the drunken sailor cover goose bumbs still after all those years.
Shadowrun for SNES had a pretty fantastic soundtrack. It did a lot with very little and really paints a picture of the setting very quickly. Another candidate from the same era is Planescape: Torment. It had this great haunting ambient sound that made Sigil feel so strange and ancient.
At the time though, if you'd asked me which game had the best soundtrack, I've had pointed to Tony Hawk, though I'm not sure if it was 1 or 2. The one with Party at Ground Zero. Found some great music of the era that way!

In no particular order: Final Fantasy XIV and XVI (Soken is a genius) Transistor Nier Automata Genshin Impact Destiny 2 The World Ends With You Persona 5 Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1/2
Honestly though the FF series as a whole kinda deserves its own special mention. The games have always had stellar soundtracks.
Ape Escape goes hard. It's not just the nostalgia.
Civilisation IVs Baba Yetu. Still gives me chills. I’ve seen it performed by a small choir and is just as good. https://youtu.be/IJiHDmyhE1A
Thomas was alone has a great soundtrack imo.
I can't believe no one has said Halo/Halo 2
