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).

Hi Jeffrey, it means so much to me that you hear this recording as you do. Thank you for the very kind comments.
You may have found my other videos already, but in case not, you might be interested in:

I've written ten classical pieces, informed by jazz harmonies. The Blues Variations (#6), for example, is a theme-and-variations form like the Goldberg Variations, ending in a 4-voice fugue, but all on a 12 bar blues.

Kimiko Ishizaka is an interesting person. Not only a professional concert pianist, she's an Olympic weightlifter & powerlifter.
So she's the only pianist in the world who can perform the Goldberg Variations at a concert-level caliber, then carry her piano to the next performance.
