Rite of Spring is fine, but I don’t think there’s been much since 1913 to get excited about. The pieces written now are movie scores which are typically modeled after 19th century Romanticism, if I’m not mistaken.

Prokofief:
Romeo and Juliet, 1935
Rachmaninof: Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, 1934
Poulenc: Gloria, 1961
Samuel Barber: Adagio for Strings, 1936
These come to mind immediately.
