A pleasant piano concerto by Carl Reinecke (his 3rd of [I believe] 4)
in the only recording I could find (video includes the score):

Youthful exuberance embodied in these 4 piano quartets by Mendelssohn, composed between ages 12 and 15:

Grieg added a second piano part to four of Mozart's sonatas; most often played is the K454, one but this one is also charming:

The sparkling slow movement from the second of two Julius Benedict piano concerti on the famous volume 48 of Hyperion's The Romantic Piano Concerto series; if you look in the video description you will see the YouTube playlist for the entire album which also include the ebullient Walter MacFarren Konzertstueck

Amazing how effortlessly music seems to pour out of the 13-year old Mendelssohn in this early concerto (not published until long after his death):

While it doesn't supplant my favorite performance of the Mahler 3rd Symphony (which is Bernstein's classic recording), I would have been happy to be in the audience in 2015 for this performance (as usual, add a dash ["-"] after the "t" in "youtube" of the full url for an ad-free experience if you don't have YouTube Premium; if it says "video unavailable", just refresh):

I had the LP set of this complete Sleeping Beauty as a boy. It seems to me to present the ballet more as a symphonic work and less as something to be danced to. Here is a link with the whole two-and-a-half hour performance:

A remarkable performance of the Chopin Nocturne in c-sharp minor Op. Posth by a young Tiffany Poon (at her graduation recital), which is worth watching (at least if you are a pianist) because you can see her hands and pedal foot throughout.

From 2013, an outstanding performance of the Tchaikovsky Violin concerto by Julia Fischer; even though the video is fairly low resolution, it was fun watching for the many closeups of her playing.

A pleasant piano concerto by Friedrich Kalkbrenner, a German/French pianist and composer whom Chopin idolised (according to Wikipedia). This is a score video and it takes some digging through the comments to find out that the pianist is Hans Kann and the orchestra the Hamburger Sinfonie-orchester conducted by Heribert Beissel (from an old Turnabout LP, I didn't find a CD version).

An impressive 2019 recital by a pianist who should be better known, Antonio Pompa-Baldi (head of the piano faculty at the Cleveland Institute of Music). The first work on the program is the 2nd Hummel Piano Sonata in the best reading I've heard (at least among the performances on YouTube). The rest of the program is also well worth the audition.

A nice video (and performance) of 6 of the Opus 25 Chopin Etudes (with manuscript scores) played by Francois-Rene Duchable. Even after literally spending hundreds of hours practicing these, they do not become stale.

A 1967 live broadcast in Hamburg by Jakob Gimpel and the NDR
Sinfonieorchester (with Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt conducting)
of the Beethoven 4th piano concerto (perhaps my favorite of
the five). Sadly this sort of non-flashy understated pianism
has gone out of (was never in?) favor.

A bang-up performance of, admittedly, one of Carl Maria von Weber's minor pieces (though one I regard fondly because a flute-cello-piano trio I was a member of in my youth performed it), his Opus 63 trio:
