Gould's first performance to receive widespread attention was his 1955 recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations. His speed, dexterity and tone revolutionized the understanding of this piece and it became inextricably linked with Gould for the remainder of his life. His final recording, in 1981, was also of the Goldberg Variations -- a much more studied and reflective interpretation of the work.
Gould was also known for his uncommon views regarding the value of recorded performances vs. live performances (he stopped performing live in 1964), and regarding some canonical composers (particularly Mozart, whom he referred to as a 'mediocre composer'). Later in his life Gould also became known for his work as a radio documentarian with the Canadian Broadcasting Company (a statue of Gould can be found outside the CBC headquarters in Gould's hometown of Toronto).

Why would somebody want to become a member of this crappy channel?

NO, I don't like it when people LIE to me.

Maybe if you were to ACTUALLY SHOW INAPPROPRIATE PHOTOS, then I'd consider it...
@DogFlamingoXIII
I hate this kind of titling too. This is just a collection of historical images that were often in history books or magazines. Some were taken for media. This is right up there with those, "25 Things You Didn't Know About..." titles, where I get irritated, because you have no idea what I do and don't know. It could have just been named something like "25 Things You Might Not Have Known About...", and it would have been just as interesting and not irritating.

If only youtube has a haha react

If you came for the beautiful picture of a model wearing a Native American inspired costume, this might be the only photo not appropriate for a history book, it's so rare you won't find it in the whole video clip. It’s a picture of model Catherine McNeil from Vogue in 2008.

Yes, I was going to say that CLEARLY it's a modern photo. Thank you for the source.
@norlesh
I gave the above comment a thumbs up for the useful information; and balanced it out by giving the clip a thumbs down for the click-baiting.
@bearingcee
I did click for that photo, but not because I wanted to see a sexy Squaw, but wanted to see how fake the photo was. I'm Plains Apache, and I promise our mahies (my ease) (women) didn't dress like she in the pic.
