Some people are listing great pianists. Others are listing great COMPOSERS of piano music. Here is my two-cents' worth:

Great pianists:
Glenn Gould
Philippe Entremont
Rudolph Serkin
Van Cliburn
Rubinstein
Horowitz
Rachmaninoff

Great COMPOSERS of piano music:
Bach (Okay, it wasn't invented yet, so shoot me.)
Scarlatti
Haydn
Mozart
Clementi
Kuhlau
Beethoven
Schubert
Chopin
Brahms
Schumann
Grieg
Liszt
MacDowell
Ives - have ear muffs handy
Debussy
Ravel
Gershwin
Prokofiev
Rachmaninoff
Bartok
Messaien
Barber
Zez Confrey
Scott Joplin
David Lanz

I'm sure I missed a few great ones, but those are the ones that came to mind off-hand.
