Sometimes you play a piece and you're so in the notes you miss certain fundamental things until you take a listen to a recording.
Take for example the Bartok Rumanian dances. The third movement, when not stumbled through blindly (it's entirely in false harmonics), does not even sound like a violin. The recording I have (Marc Kaplan and Bruno Canino) really highlights this for me. The movement has such a ghostly, hollow sound. In stepping away from my instrument I am always struck by it.
