Ravel is a great composer, fuck the naysayers.

My list isn't limited to classical, but it's still relevant. I play piano so my list is mostly piano pieces I've learned or wish to learn.

Ravel: Le tombeau de Couperin (specifically Prelude, Forlane, Rigaudon, and Toccata), Pavane pour une infante defunte, jeux d'eau, Sonatine, À la manière de Borodine, Gaspard de la nuit ("le gibet" may seem boring, but it really is a great for reflecting), Miroirs,Ma mere l'oye, serenade gotesque, menuet antique, valses nobles et sentimentales.
Pieces for not only solo piano: Dapnis et Chloe suite 2, 3rd movement of the G Major piano concerto

Liszt: Liebestraum no. 3 (obv), most of the transcendental etudes, Die Zelle in Nonnenwerth, ab irato (short piece, but listen till the end and you'll experience a beautiful mood shift), Un Sospiro (highly recommend Hamelin's interpretation), Mephisto Waltzes no 1 and 2, Consolations (no. 3 is the most popular), Les Jeux D'eau à La Ville D'este (inspired Ravel's "Jeux d'eau"), Orage, valse impromptu, Oubliee no. 1, Soirees de Vienne Valse caprice no.6, romance s.169, nuages gris, Klavierstuck s.193, Harmonies poétiques et religieuses (Bénédiction de Dieu dans la solitude is especially beauitiful)

Mompou: Paisajes (no.2 is best imo), Secreto (simple and melancholic), Pajaro triste, Impressiones Intimas (somewhat jazzy, but good), El Pont, Jeunes filles au jardin, Suite Compostelana (guitar suite)

Can post more recommendations or composers, but it would take too long and it's late. Here are some other nice songs:

Saint-Saens - "The Swan".
