Yes I saw the documentary about him a few years ago, it was very well done and did give an excellent insight into a very eccentric artist, his vocal accompaniment to the recordings he made I found extremely funny, the producers always reminding him to just play the music without adding anything extra, but Gould simply couldn't help himself. I do own his version of the Beethoven Eroica Variations, but that's the only CD of his so I can't really say it's his best or compare it to other works he did. I have been downloading some classical recently and I'll check out some of his other pieces. Any suggestions?(I do have Beethoven and Chopin completely covered so anyone else you have in mind let me know.
