If we stretch the definition of classical and let it be a bit more contemporary as well, these are some of my picks:

Check out Edvard Grieg he is most famous for in the hall of the mountain king. It can be absolutely turned into a shred fest.

I love these.
I also have a 4cd collection http://brokensoulrecords.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=11819 but i bought it about 20 years ago so probably quite hard to get hold of now. But if you can get it, it's great. or if you can only get 1 of the 4cds try and get Romanza, it's got a lot of well known pieces, including 2 of my all time favourites
And
I think one thing to keep in mind is that you might not like everything you hear, and that's ok. We all have different tastes in music generally, and I find the same is true within each genre; I don't particularly care for composer X (redacted to avoid a falling out with fellow redditors!) so I don't force myself to listen to try and love them. I just moved on, and maybe one day my tastes will change and I'll enjoy them more.

These are my 5 favourite Trumpet Concerto (I am a Trumpet player)
This was was neglected for over half a century because of Trumpet technology at the time so it was really hard to play. Improvements in technology has made this one of the most popular Trumpet Concertos.
Joseph Haydn: Trumpet Concerto in E flat (1796)
Hummel took lot’s of Hayd
Not as regularly played for the same reason as Hayden. Trumpet players who could play it were treated as aristocracy. Piccolo Trumpet are generally used for this.
Georg Philipp Telemann: Trumpet Concerto in D major (c.1710)
Hummel took a bunch of Hayden’s ideas and built on them. This concerto is more complex and longer.
Johann Nepomuk Hummel: Trumpet Concerto in E flat (1803)
I think you need to get some modern experience. This one draws from the period and is almost quirky compared to Hayden and Hummel.
Henri Tomasi: Trumpet Concerto (1948)
The last one was written for current British virtuoso, Allison Balsom (she has played versions of all these and are versions to find). The composer is currently 90 and living in Scotland.
Thea Musgrave: Trumpet Concerto (2019)

Personally, Faure is lovely- his requiem is a good one to try if you’re already enjoying Mozart. If you wanted to try some opera, I would suggest Puccini’s Madame Butterfly. It’s utterly beautiful.
Classic FM do a hall of fame every year where the public vote for their top 200 songs so it’s very mixed in terms of composers, instruments, it even had game and movie music in it. If you’re just getting started, give that a go because it will show you a bit of everything! Have fun
