My first exposure to Classical music wasn't very deep, but; it hooked me for life: Ravel's Bolero.
Next, came an introduction to the old warhorse perennials such as the 1812 Overture, Capriccio Italian and Fountains of Rome.
As I entered puberty the minor key melodies set me on fire: Rachmaninoff's Piano Concertos, Brahms 1st and 3rd and Tristan and Isolde.
As I matured I moved to Gabriel Faure' and Hindemuth and Bela Bartok.
Now, as a fully matured gentleman with lots of living under my belt I am completely taken with all things Claus Ogermann, almost any chamber music and Prokofiev.
There is a fellow from Canada called the French Canadian Mozart, named Andre' Gagnon. I adore his very light melodicism.
All time favorite: VOCALISE by Rachmaninoff

Chopin for me too. It's difficult to narrow it down to just one piece.
