Some great recommendations from Neil.Some obvious next steps:
More Barber: Violin Concerto and Essay No. 1 for Orchstra.
Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition
Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 5 & 7Some other works, mixing it up a bit:
Vaughan Williams: Symphony No. 5
Elgar: Enigma Variations
Falla: El amor brujo
Ravel: Concerto in D for Left Hand
Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherezade
Bartok: Piano Concerto No. 3
Gorecki: Symphony No. 3
Prokofiev: Violin Concerto No. 2; Romeo & Juliet
Janacek: Sinfonietta
Villa Lobos: Bachianas Brasilieras No. 5
Revueltas: SensamayaFor chamber music, I think the combination of piano, violin and cello is one of the easiest to get into:
Tchaikovsky: Piano Trio
Beethoven: "Archduke" Trio
Schubert: Piano Trio No. 2
Shostakovich: Piano Trio No. 2
