I am a fan of instrumental / non-lyric music. This playlist is mainly background music for me to listen to while doing homework, drowning out my 14-year-old brother (inexplicably, listening to NSYNC - don't even get me started) and whatnot.
This song was in the background of Fantasia 2000 and I have childhood memories of watching the lives of four people in NYC being inexplicably intertwined, without any words being spoken.
This piece is what got me into classical music. There's a surprise at the 12-minute mark, FYI.
While I like classical music in general, I am partial to violin music and this is just a incredible piece of music, even though it isn't as long as some of the others here.
Warning: auditory jumpscare about halfway through - it should be obvious when it's about to come in, but every time I listen to it, I am thoroughly startled! Perhaps the fact that I intentionally turn the volume up is what does it... (Also from Fantasia)
This one is more of a visual thing to look at. Wintergatan is a Swedish music group who makes music with non-standard instruments, like... This marble run machine, which they custom-built entirely by hand and is amazing to both watch and hear.

David Garrett is a violinist who does some pretty neat covers. He seems to be far more popular in Europe (specifically his native Germany) than in the US. Check out his work here.
