the two pieces I've had the most difficulty technically with would be Prokoviev's 2nd piano concerto, and the Ravel piano trio (which is obscenely difficult for the violin and cello as well).

They just performed that piano trio at Oberlin!
Hardest pieces - NO BRAINER!
#1 that caps everything: Anything by Brian Ferneyhough, but especially "Terrain."
At a somewhat lower level, for solo piano, Ligeti's Etudes.
And not even close to the above, but still tough because of the rhythms: John Adams' "The Chairman Dances."
