Moravec might have been less of a popular star than, say, Helene Grimaud, but, he had a very respectable international career, was the star pianist for his country's label (during the old regime) and has a substantial discography from the early 1960s through 1990s, most of which is still in print.
One decisive factoid is that Moravec's 1964 NYC debut was not some self-funded recital at Town Hall, but rather a concerto performance with George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra (I have to assume at Carnegie Hall).
Moravec was in Phillips' suitcase-sized boxed set "Great Pianists of the 20th Century" with 2 CDs. That's not quite being in the Federal Witness Protection Program, Pianists Division.
I think that what the OP wanted was "Joyce Hatto, but without the fraud."
I think that anyone knowing enough about the piano repertoire who auditioned the Goldsmith Beethoven YT I put up blind, would say, "Wow, who was THAT!"
No excuses needed and no stories to tell.
ATB,
John
