The period between classical and Romanticism is pretty good, as well as a lot of "authentic" Romantic composers. I'll be showing some of my ignorance here, but Liszt, Ravel, Chopin, Schubert, and Rachmaninoff are all great. Rachmaninoff also led to this wonderful peice. The influence of Romantic composers on jazz cats was pretty heavy, really showing through around the 1950's into the mid 60's. I know you were asking for classical but the album The Scene Changes by Bud Powell is another great example of this. It's one of my favorite albums of all time.
