畢爾斯瑪的錄音作品曾獲得愛迪生、音叉、李斯特等大獎肯定。為了表彰畢爾斯瑪對音樂的貢獻，Sony唱片公司特別將他歷年來的錄音作品整理成套，以饗愛樂大眾。畢爾斯瑪的演奏充滿人性，不以華麗的炫技為訴求，展現寧靜內斂的高雅品味。
1934年2月17日出生於海牙，父親為長號手，兼作曲家與指揮家。畢爾斯瑪（Anner Bylsma）在海牙皇家音樂學院學習期間，師從布坎普（Carel van Boomkamp），專攻古樂以及古代大提琴。1957年獲得卓越大獎（The Prix d'excellence）；1959年在墨西哥贏得首屆卡薩爾斯大賽（Pablo Casals Competition）。1962~1968年擔任荷蘭皇家音樂會堂管弦樂團的首席大提琴家。1979年成為第一位以古大提琴灌錄巴哈無伴奏大提琴組曲（BWV 1007–1012）的音樂家，後又於1992年二度灌錄此部作品，且曾灌錄過維瓦第全部的大提琴作品。1982年獲得哈佛大學的Erasmus獎學金。
這套專輯中，收錄了韋瓦第、鮑凱利尼、海頓、塞瓦（Adrien-Francois Servais, 1807-1866）、法蘭秋美（Auguste Franchomme, 1808-1884）等人的協奏曲，貝多芬的三重協奏曲，以及一首罕見的五重奏（由兩把小提琴、一把中提琴、兩把大提琴所組成）。另外還有由巴哈的長笛奏鳴曲BWV1030第一樂章改編的D小調協奏曲。
其中最特別的是收錄由法蘭秋美與蕭邦合寫的「大二重協奏曲」。此曲是根據麥亞貝爾歌劇《惡魔，羅伯特》的主題，所編寫的大提琴與鋼琴合奏曲。另外也收錄了法蘭秋美改編蕭邦的「夜曲」。
