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).

he means it's a shame Glenn Gould doesn't play more of scarlatti's sonatas.

Scarlatti es un ejemplo atípico de cuantos se expatrian para mejorar su existencia o, como tantos artistas, en busca de una fama a la que no basta el ensueño que la incitó. De ahí que su música arrastre una búsqueda obsesiva de tiempos quiméricos. Como bien describe Proust «notre vraie vie, la réalité telle que nous l’avons sentie et qui diffère tellement de ce que nous croyons, que nous sommes emplis d’un tel bonheur quand un hasard nous apporte le souvenir véritable » . Ese tiempo reencontrado del que Proust nos habla. El tiempo de verdad, del emigrante o el exiliado. Algo similar arrastran las sonatas de Scarlatti, esa inmensa obra que él labró durante su vida en la otra península, la ibérica. Mas fue en sus adentros y en lo que de inconsciente remolca toda música que él tramaría una danza arriesgada e interminable. Para Ralph Kirpatrick, Scarlatti: «danzó sobre abismos de tristeza y melancolía con una arrojo y una sensualidad incomparables y, a veces, con la agilidad de un funámbulo».
