I most definately second the Horovitz concerto (amazing piece of music -- especially the second movement) and the Goossens. However, there is one piece of music that doesn't get performed enough - its difficult, but not too difficult, has beautiful melodies, especially in the 2nd movement, and is just a great concerto -- that would be the Hidas Concerto. There are actually two of them. I prefer the 1st one, but hte 2nd one is nice as well. It is short enough to perform the entire work in about 12 minutes. Its not Romantic, but it definately sounds romantic and will work for your purpose. Unfortunately, Mr. Hidas passed away recently but his works don't get played nearly often enough and they are just stunning!
