Brilliant work for keyboard or keyboard and orchestra in the last 10 years
I can think of none. Can you?
I'm not sure I know any classical music from the last ten years. Well, that's not strictly true, I just don't remember what any of it sounded like.
Nope, me neither.

Yes, as my swift days near their goal: Tis all that I implore; In life and death a chainless soul, With courage to endure. (Emily Brontë)
Elliott Carter:"Dialogues" (2004), difficult, but probably a masterpiece

Elliott Carter:"Interventions" (premiered 2008): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ga0NLZTKFeA
Stretching it to 15-20 years should include
Nřrgĺrd:"Concerto in Due Tempi" (1995) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLCceiZl72A
perhaps also
Hosakawa:"Ans Meer" (1999) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LefcS-aaFI
Other recent stuff on you-t/partly on you-t includes concerti by Hanna Kulenty, Zygmunt Krauze, Sheila Silver a.o.,
plus, less interesting,
Philip Glass, Penderecki and Didier Lockwood http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvRIN...eature=related
If you don´t know that of Tristan Keuris, then catch up (1980) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vh0jRDHbCcs !

I like Esa-Pekka Salonen's Piano Concerto, and I have high hopes for Magnus Lindberg's Piano Concerto No.2, which the NYP will be touring with later this season. (Both were written for Yefim Bronfman.)

Thomas Ades ~ Piano concerto, 'in Seven Days' 2008 - gorgeous.
Beat Furrer ~ Piano concerto, 2008 (Brilliant and beautiful.)

Matthew McConnell ~ Concerto for Toy Piano, 2004 (zippy and pleasant neoclassical style)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bea3eTKN3nA
Graham Fitkin Curcuit, for two pianos and orchestra, 2002 (lively, listenable 'entertaining.')

Recalling I'd heard of it-- but have not yet listened,
Vestard Shimkus ~ Concerto for Piano and String Orchestra ("dedicated to the bothersome man"), 2008
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_se-GwxzcJg

Stretching a few more years back, since ten years is a bit quick for the general motion of classical music's time line and what is relatively 'recent.'
Régis Campo ~ Piano Concerto, 1999
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRxeb...eature=related
John Adams ~ Century Rolls, 1996
ADD: out of the time frame (1980) a shameless plug for any who might not know of it,
Takashi Yoshimatsu - Threnody to Toki, for piano and strings, a lush and lyric serial piece, his Op. 12, and the last he wrote before abandoning serial technique.

Interesting list, just been getting into Beat Furrer recently, heard his Klavierstücke and other short piano works, very sparse sound. Didn't know he had done a piano concerto.
Also Takashi Yoshimatsu's Piano concerto from 1997 just misses the cut but it beautiful, soft elegiac stuff
Not written in the last ten years, but anyway:
