You could try In der Nacht op. 12 no. 5 by Schumann. It may be a little dramatic for what you are looking for, but it could work.

This piece is a very impressive piece that I think would blow the examiner(s) away:

Liszt - Les jeux d'eau à la Villa d'Este ( Années de pélerinage )


Best of luck! :)

If I were in your position, I would pick several pieces from this suite:

Kruisleriana - Schumann
Really beautiful pieces that will definitely impress judges if played well! And these pieces aren't overplayed.

Ottorino Respighi's "Notturno" in G-flat major would be nice.

Hmm...Here's three suggestions...The first and third are transcriptions - but transcriptions of Liszt's own songs.
