My first exposure to Glenn Gould was in college. I'd heard about him and decided to order The Well-Tempered Clavier Book I from my record club. (Remember record clubs?) I had just started working on the d-minor prelude, so I found the right track and played it.
Holy shit! It was like a guy who had lived his whole life in a room with only a 25w bulb for light walking outside on a sunny day.

f2- I just found this gem on YouTube.
Gould preferred to record and didn't like to give public performances. This is a really awesome video from 1960, the same year that he recorded the Brahms above. He was 28YO. I hope that Maestro and our resident cardiologist and other forum classical music addicts see this:
