Untuned Percussion is basically the collected orchestral "pots and pans", setting it aside from tuned percussion like marimba, xylophone and vibraphone (with their own entries) or concertos for both tuned and untuned percussion (which are filed under "Percussion"). A late arrival on the concertante scene, the percussionists can still boast concertos by the likes of Milhaud, MacMillan and Schwantner. I have selected the untuned percussion concerto by Richard Rodney Bennett, played by Evelyn Glennie and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra under Paul Daniel on RCA.
