based on your list may I suggest:Stravinsky - Firebird Suite
Holst - the Planets
Wagner - Orchestral excerpts
Rachmaninoff - Symphony No. 2 and Piano Concerto No. 2
Sibelius - Symphonies 2,7 and Finlandia
Dvorak - Symphony No.9 "New World"
Tchaikovsky - Violin Concerto; Symphonies 4,5,6
Beethoven - Violin Concerto
Mendelssohn - Violin Concerto
Shostakovich - Symphony No. 5
Bruckner and Mahler may be a little much for someone starting out, but maybe Bruckner Symphony #4 or #9 and Mahler #1I know I'll think of more later, but it's late and I'm about to nod off and bang my head on the keyboard.
