1- I was thinking more of a solo(instrument/voice) w/orchestra acc. not a solo within the orchestra
2- Hopefully under 5 minutes (either an individual work or mvt. of a concerto)
3- Scary/wow factor preferred over 'well wasn't that just the cutest little piece'
Ideas..?

Bydlo? Or is that just scary for us?

The second movement of John Adams's "Gnarly Buttons" is a bit under six minutes. It definitely has a WOW factor, though.

um...."not a solo within the orchestra". Bydlo could possibly qualify, but not the others.
The VW "Romanza"? Maybe too long, not sure of the timing.
A couple of the Mahler "Songs of the Wayfarer"...
a movement of a Mozart Horn concerto...
