Of recent memory, Skyrim is f'ing amazing. Guild Wars 2 will be mind-blowing as well, but as good as Skyrim's? We'll see.
Mass Effect has a pretty great sweeping soundtrack.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Red Dead Redemption don't exactly have orchestral soundtracks, but I want to give them a mention since the soundtracks for them are amazing.
MGS2, perfect blend of electronica nad orchestral score.
Harry Gregson-Williams is a fantastic composer and we cant forget Norihiko's work aswell.

Just awesome... Christophe Heral is a genius and has limitless range
p.s. people need to read the OP better. He asked for ORCHESTRAL soundtracks.
Heroes of Might and Magic III... Pick any one you wish... That games has the best music I've ever heard in a video game :
Stronghold town http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmCwz9zf01I
Dungeon town http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ2WOnnekW4&feature=relmfu
Fortress town http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsYjN4wFw4o&feature=relmfu
Necropolis http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXGBh_3J25g&feature=relmfu
Radiant Historia, Silent Hill 2, silent Hill3, Silent Hill Homecoming, Silent Hill Shattered Memories, Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask and Wind Waker... all incredible soundtracks.
YES! The music is great in every pokemon game. The originals had such memorable music. Gold and Silver expanded on that and made some even better music with just beeps and boops to work with. Ruby and saphire blew us away with the awesome music. Those game have their own style, Dat brass. Diamond Pearl had decent music, but nothing that exciting. Black and white blew me away again with those great orchestrated tracks.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FPz7yklWrA

every other song sucks in comparison

Nobody has mentioned Medal of Honor yet? They all, particually Allied Assualt, have fantastic orchestral soundtracks (excluding maybe the newest one).
Oblivion. ANy Elder Scrolls game really.

I'm also a bit surprised. The first time I played Frontline I got chills listening to the music during the Arnhem Knights mission. Can't say it's the best, but it's darn good and still in my head years later.

Christophe Heral is great. Almost up there with Nobuo Uematsu in my opinion.
Mass Effect 3 IMO had the best orchestral soundtrack this gen, especially these songs:
