Or try Violin Concertos No. 1 (last movement easy to digest, first movement might take some time to appreciate) or Violin Concerto No 2 (maybe somewhat harder to grasp)

Or Piano Concerto No. 1 (lots of fun) or Piano Concerto No. 2 (sweet middle movement)

I love the Piano Concerto number 2 but should study it more carefully because every time I hear it on the radio, I ask "what is that beautiful music? I love it!" And then it turns out to be Shostakovich piano number 2. It's a running joke in the family now.
