No hints needed, it seems.
Sir Simon Rattle, current conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic, and famous for also having developed as a young man the CIty of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra into a position of prominence, has won for:
"Ein Deutsches Requiem" of Johannes Brahms, and for Gustav Mahler's tenth symphony.
That last win was particularly impressive since Mahler wrote only nine symphonies
(A version from notes left at Mahler's death of a new symphony had been worked into a performing version over some period of time, IIRC by the late English "Mahler scholar" Deryck Cooke, and evidently is now accepted as something close-to-complete).
(on the other hand Grammy also gave a Grammy to "Free as a Bird"....
)

Are Ringo or Paul too obvious to guess?

No, nothing ever too obvious to guess....
You get points for reminding us of the Distracting Distractors I thought would make the question last a little longer....
