I've received a copy of a concert which was not-professionally
recorded. The person was in the audience and while recording, there was
someone next to him/her applauding very load and not at the same time
as everybody else. Because of these handclaps normalisation of the
files causes the right channel to sound a lot louder (handclaps are on
the left channel and the peaks are very high on that channel).

What you need to do then is heavily limit the right channel only and then
normalise. Set the threshold of the limiter so it just does not operate on
tthe normal program.
