Surely Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto no. 1.  The other warhorses: Schumann and Grieg piano concertos.Then some Wagner overtures and orchestral arrangements of excerpts. 
Wharfedale Linton Heritage 85th Anniversary

Here's a closely related question.A fair number of LPs/CDs contain a photo of the group/orchestra playing while being recorded.When listening to the recording, have you been able to correlated what you hear with what you see?  Does what you see af...
