For good cello moments I'd recommend you:
-Elgar's concerto for cello & orchestra p 85
-Dvorak's cello concerto in B minor
-Haydn's Cello concerto No. 1
-Schubert's Quintet for piano, violin, viola, cello and double bass "The Trout"
-Debussy's "La Mer" - Beowulf favourite, highly recommended. Check the first movement.
-Richard Strauss - Don Quixote
-Vivaldi's Double Cello Concerto G minor, RV 531
For solos:
-Brahms' cello sonata no.2
-Debussy's sonata for cello and piano
You can also check out the opening of Rossini's William Tell if you have it around.
All these are pretty good.
