His first public recital was in , and featured works by Scarlatti, Beethoven, Chopin, and Liszt; his debut network radio recital followed over CBC airwaves in , and marked the beginning of his long relationship with broadcasting and recording. In early , Gould made his New York debut, and within hours signed with Columbia's Masterworks imprint. His first recording, a performance of Bach's Goldberg Variations, became an instant best-seller, and he went on to make over 60 more recordings for the label in the years to follow.

His concert career continued to great success during the early '60s, but in Los Angeles on April 10, -- with no advance warning, and without fanfare -- he delivered his final public performance. Gould's decision to retire from live performances was in part a result of his desire to focus more of his energies on writing, broadcasting, composing, and conducting; his first major new project was a "sound documentary" called The Idea of North, a philosophical musing on the meaning of northern existence.

Keeping in contact with the outside world primarily over the telephone, Gould was often out of the spotlight for long periods of time, but in he broke with his long tradition of not re-recording material to return to the work with which he remained most closely identified, the Goldberg Variations; his decision was motivated in large part by the vast improvements in technology during the quarter century that separated the two recordings.
