Mine is either the Mendelssohn concerto in E minor or Sarabande by Edward Bohm - it's a very simple piece but I remember playing it and thinking it was the first "real" piece I'd ever learned.
I also love Zigeunerweisen by Sarasate - it's almost like the Sarabande but harder, super dramatic and very fun to play.

I know some of these might come under different genres eg romantic, but I love La Cygne (The Swan) by Saint-Seans from Le Carnaval Des Animaux- it’s so beautiful! Mozart’s 31st Symphony, the Paris Symphony, is also super fun to play. Not to mention Elgar’s Nimrod from Enigma Variations and of course Brahms’ Hungarian Dance No. 5, both lovely to play and beautiful in different ways!

If we're talking 'old-school' classical then Ride of the Valkyries by Wagner is a stirring piece, or the humourously-titled Air on the 'G' String by Bach for chilling out.
But if contemporary classical is a thing, then The Heart Asks Pleasure First by Nyman is my all time favourite.

Bolero by Ravel.

Rachmaninov's third piano concerto ("Rach 3") as played by Australian pianist David Helfgott. Saw him perform it from the front row at the Royal Albert Hall, London. Amazing!

Saint-Saëns' Bacchanale is an incredible auditory experience. I wish I could hear it performed live.
As for my favorite piece to play, that would have to be the third movement of Beethoven's Tempest sonata.
