| Berlioz Roman Carnival Overture, Symphonie Fantastique
Tchaikowsky Cappriccio Italien
Prokofiev Lt. Kije Suite
Copland Billy the Kid, Appalachian Spring, Rodeo, Symphony #3
Bernstein Jeremiah Symphony
Ravel Daphnis and Chloe, Piano Concerto
Any Strauss tone poems (Ein Heldenleben, Don Juan, Zarathustra, Eine Alpinsinfonie, Don Quixote are my favorites)
Stravinsky Firebird (I like the complete...), Le Sacre du Printemps,
Wagner Parsifal
So, so many more that I am completely not even tninking of at the moment. Just go to the classical section of your local CD/Record store and browse around. Also, don't get hung up on trumpet only pieces. There are a good many works that are not trumpet spotlights that are just mind blowing in themselves. (Barber's Adagio comes to mind as one of them). Develop a good ear for those, too.
