Roger von Oech links to this superb video of Glenn Gould playing Bach's Goldberg Variations:
It looks as though it were made around 1981 (shortly before his death). It's 47 minutes long. I've watched it three times. You can clearly see a great artist lovingly playing a great work of art. His fingerwork is a sight to behold. [If you don't want to watch it, you might try just having it play in the background. Even better is getting the CD.] Have fun!
Watch (or at least listen to) the video and read the rest of von Oech's comments after the link.
I enjoyed this immensely and just added the Goldberg Variations CD to my shopping cart on Amazon.
