I would suggest Walter Klien. Not forgotten since he recorded a lot but the recordings don't begin to do him justice. The finest concert I've ever heard (and I've been to a lot) was Klien playing Mozart, Brahms, and Beethoven's Op. 111 back in the 70's. At the end of Op. 111 everyone just sat there for a good 30-40 seconds and contemplated the universe.
Maria Tipo is another pianist that I've come across lately who should be much better known.
There are a lot of underrated pianists out there - it's fun to discover them.
Goode is not one of my favorites though, last time I heard him live he was just going through the motions. I walked out at intermission. A great talent but needs to get back on track.
