Unfortunately for me, I broke my LEFT hand when I was 17, which put me in an awkward situation: there is very little repertoire for the right hand alone.
I ended up writing myself some music at the time (not the best I've ever done), including my very first attempt at a concerto.
Sadly, very little of the left-hand repertoire really translates well to the right hand. I tried the Ravel (which ended up being my physiotherapy piece, BTW) but it does NOT translate at all to the right hand.
However, I did find a lovely Bartok étude for the left hand, very tonal, very... ummm.. un-Bartok-ian.
I was a real concerto-holic, so most of the works I tried were in the piano+orchestra repertoire (besides, at that time, that was what I needed for exams, competitions, and concerts). My favourites, apart from the Ravel, were the Britten and Prokoviev.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
