I'll start with the assumption that you mean only highland bagpipes. If you want other recommendations for recordings of other types of bagpipes, I can help you out there too. Just PM me, or we can fire up another thread.....whatever works.
Anything by Gordon Duncan is brilliant. His solo playing was the best. I'd particularly recommend "Thunderstruck". His light music recordings are my favourites. For piobeareachd playing I'd go straight to the source and recommend Donald MacPherson's "The Living Legend" CD. MacPherson won more prizes than I can list.
For a strictly highland pipe bands setting, anything at all by Simon Fraser University (SFU), St Lawrence O'Toole, or the 78th Frasers. The National Youth Pipe Band of Scotland is a real up and comer too.
For a more folk setting incorporating other instruments beyond pipes, I'd really recommend The Battlefield Band, especially when Dougie Pincock was their piper (not to belittle any of their other pipers). A personal favourite is "Celtic Hotel".
