演奏巴赫这六首无伴奏组曲，最富于启示性的也是最早的权威的版本，当然是卡萨尔斯3O年代后期的这个录音。这些组曲曾被相当多的音乐家演绎，卡萨尔斯的浑厚有力，富尼埃的舒展如歌，罗斯特罗波维奇轻盈而显得匆忙，初听上去简直就象不同的作品。卡萨尔斯的录于30年代(36年至39年)大师刚过了60岁之后。我一向怀疑四十年代和之前的所谓历史录音，认为无论上一代大师们的演奏如何精彩，但毕竟录音技术有限，很难保留真实的演奏的音响。如果把罗斯特罗波维奇的演奏看作一幅色彩斑谰的油画。卡萨尔斯就是早先古朴的铜版画，线条坚实挺劲，具有难以想象的力度，像是凸现于整个画面之上种线条一旦在你面前显出须眉皆动而欲飞舞之状时，真是要令人心魄俱与的。巴赫的精神，在这里始终是回荡在音乐的空间之中，而不是从中沁出来。
卡萨尔斯手指的力量惊人，不知是否得益于他边拉琴边抽雪茄的缘故，大提琴像是他的一件玩具。长期来，卡萨尔斯的这套录音已被公认为为这个作品的里程碑式的权威演绎。他的这一成就来自他对这部巴赫巨着的长达几十年的精心研读和作品精髓的发掘。据他自述，从13岁时他在一家旧书店发现这套作品的乐谱开始，他在这套作品上每天研读练功12年，到25岁才鼓起勇气第一次公开演奏其中的一部全曲。又过了35年，才在录音公司的长期不断催促之下答应录制这套作品，使我们今日能得以领略一代大师对这套作品的解读。

布鲁克纳的交响曲，进一步扩大了传统的奏鸣曲形式，庄重而宏伟，独具特色。本曲首演于 1884 年，并一举成功，使布鲁克纳名闻整个德国，可见本曲是推动这位音乐巨匠的全部交响曲为世人所认识的原动力。就此而言，本曲堪称布鲁克纳的成名之作，也被公认为他所有作品中的地位最高者。
全曲共分为四个乐章：
第一乐章：中庸的快板，适度快活地。第一主题呈幻想性质，再现时全乐章达到了高潮；第二主题在舒畅愉快的气氛中呈现。乐章中的全部音乐都如同布鲁克纳的意志一般，充分表现出主题的意义与交响乐的雄浑力度。
第二乐章：慢板，作者指定为“极庄严而徐缓地”，这是本交响曲中最著名的乐章。整个乐队以光辉的音色奏出主题，并以这个主题为中心，兼含音诗的特点，继续发展。本乐章可以说是布鲁克纳交响曲最高境界的表现。
第三乐章：谐谑曲，非常快地。谐谑曲各声部的构成极为丰富，这个乐章同整部作品的庄严性质非常吻合。
第四乐章：终曲，快速地。众赞歌的主题奠定了崭新而崇高的情绪和华丽而充满幻想般的气氛。最后，整个乐队在灿烂辉煌的齐奏中结束全曲。

The name of Simon Rattle had not been closely associated with the works of Johannes Brahms so it was even more rewarding when his first Brahms recording with the Berliner Philharmoniker, "Ein deutsches Requiem", won critical accolades and both Grammy and Classic FM/Gramophone awards. Now Sir Simon and the Orchestra have committed to disc the complete Brahms symphonies, recorded in concert at Berlin’s Philharmonie in the autumn of 2008. In the words of Die Zeit, "Simon Rattle has finally dared to tackle Brahms with the Berliner Philharmoniker. He combines Furtwängler’s monumentality with Karajan’s beautiful sound."
The Brahms symphonies concerts drew praise from the German critics: "The fourth symphony was an ecstatic apotheosis of what current orchestral playing, quick reactions and scarcely sketched annotations can get out of this work which has long since become a classic. Especially the Passacaglia finale was a finely-dosed wonder of sound refinement and harmonic finesse. Rattle appears to have finally conquered his difficult Berliners."--Die Welt.
