Really, you could spend a life time with that CD!

But, try these - all available on youtube!

the allegretto (2nd movement) of Beethoven's 7th Symphony - one youtube version has a visualisation.

Chopin waltzes

Delibes flower duet from Lakme

Prokofiev - the Knight's dance from his ballet Romeo and Juliet

That reminds me that Prokofiev should figure in either of my top fives. The 5th symphony is better than any of Shostakovich's and the 1st violin sonata is a short but spectacular journey.
