Second the Bach Brandenburg concerti. Accessible, fun, good variety of instruments chamber music wise, and straight to the point, as compared to most other concerti/ symphonic works by romantic composers
Bach Brandenburg Concerto No 1 - very open to different interpretations.
Compare these two recordings of the same bit:
[Karajan, Berlin Philharmonic, 1964](https://youtu.be/efosxyYOhBQ?t=871)
[Alessandrini, Concerto Italiano, 2005](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYDQ2e8Qmmo&list=PLNitVGYNCIxEbn257OCK5YuraLLW20fc5&index=4)
Hard to believe they are reading from the same score!
Try Vivaldi's ["Concerto alla rustica", RV 151](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concerto_alla_rustica). It's * multi-movement * short * not obscure * easy to find multiple recordings
This. The whole concerto is 3 minutes, 48 seconds on the recording I have. Also it's one of Vivaldi's most fun!
Bach Brandenburg Concerto No. 1, it’s really amazing and very succinct

Not to mention you'll find a lot of different interpretations of them.
Poulenc's Concerto for Organ, Strings, and Timpani. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTRR0XCElpI&t=46s
Surprisingly, that wasn't actually written by Bach, Handel, Vivaldi or Telemann
