I recommend that you listen to the first movement (about 4 minutes long) in the YouTube video linked below.

It is J S Bach's Concerto for four Keyboards in A Minor, and features two of my favourite performers: Evgeny Kissin and Matha Argerich.

Look through these and see if any of them interest you. Choose what you would call dramatic and "medium fast."

I did not take the time to confirm that all of these include a piano accompaniment. There are also numerous violin/cello duets available for purchase on sites like Sheet Music Plus, Virtual Sheet Music, and even Amazon. As long as it is well-known, someone has probably recorded it and put it online, so listen around until you find something you like.

What do you mean by mostly classical and then build to a more dramatic part? Most classical music is dramatic, especially if it was written to accompany opera or ballet. Also, if it is just for piano, violin, and cello, it is not orchestra music. It is a violin/cello duet with piano accompaniment. To be orchestra music, you have to have at least enough musicians for a chamber orchestra (fifteen or so), and all four orchestral string instruments must be represented, in five parts. If you don't meet that requirement, you have a small ensemble, not an orchestra. Also, I don't normally do this, but it is extremely important that you spell "cello" correctly. There is a lot of history in that word, and the spelling conveys its Italian origin and therefore an understanding that you are aware of that history, as anyone with an interest in string music should be. It does not seem you are getting a historically-rooted education as a classical musician, and that is sad. I did not get one, either, until college. I had to learn for myself, but trust me it is totally worth it. In fact, it makes you a better musician to know the historical context and a bit about the composer for every piece you play.
