I listened to the E-comp performance listed below and it is not very good. Also just the first 14, not the whole set of variations. I do not generally like Bach on the piano. Most pianists play Bach without any feeling. There are notable exceptions and when they arise they can be truly remarkable. Gould's performance is one of these. I could listen to it every day and I am not a big Bach fan. I gave up on the E-Comp performance after about 2 minutes.

OUSSET03(2004) Goldberg Variations No. 1-14 Bach Oussetskaia, Vera LX digital Yamaha E-Comp 2004
I have not listened to it yet but there is one recording for the Yamaha E-Comp of 2004. Here is the copied info from my file that adds metadata to LX files. Should be able to use this to find it on the Yamaha site. My guess is that it is much better than either of the previously recommended "performances".

Has anyone mentioned this version:
This pianist (Mehmet Okonsar) has several CD titles out there that include both audio and MIDI data. Sorry if it';s already been discussed and I missed it somewhere in the long thread.
