National Library of Canada has recording tape archives performed by
Glenn Gould.  Tape 7535 are  several 2 and 3-part inventions.
Those are  the private performances at his home or cottage.
You can listen to them via the internet.
g minor sinfonia is there, but only a fragmental one.
The tempo should be similar to 1964 recording, I remember.

I agree with you, Jim.   I play sinfonias for my daily practice,
and this recording is my best reference. Hiccups?   Not bad!
