Dunno if it's THE most for me, but "Festive Overture" by Shostakovich comes to mind.

Re: What is the most exciting concert piece you have ever played
Always more interesting to hear why from people on questions like these...
Praise Jerusalem by Alfred Reed - a piece where just when you think it can't get any more massive, the voice of God in the form of a brass choir gets in the conversation.
Masada by Ralph Hultgren - I only sight-read this once, but it absolutely thrilled me to the core. I believe it's based on a story of a bunch of people killing themselves rather than be taken into slavery by the opposing army. The chaos of the mixed meter and disjointed panic in the melodies were a perfect illustration.

Most exciting? Not sure what that means exactly...as in difficult but fun to play?
The most difficult would be the William Walton Viola Concerto (absolutely a crazy hard bass bone part...)...but it wasn't fun to play...
