Number 3 of Prokofiev's Sarcasmes (op. 17) has 3 sharps in the RH and 5 flats in the LH (and later 1 flat/3 sharps).

I just started learning Darius Milhaud "Corcovado" from Saudades do Brasil. It's bitonal. I find it very interesting how simultaneous dominant to tonic progression in different keys still sound like V-I, in spite of the dissonance. Also interesting to hear how going back to two keys separated by a fifth sounds like a resolution after two keys separated by a minor sixth.

Here's the piece:

Szymanowski's String Quartet No.1 has each instrument in a different key. The polytonal action happens in the third movement, but I'd recommend listing to the entire work.

Jump to 13:38 for the third movement.
