Re: [mb-style] Classical releases titles should be sleeves' title or reflect the whole content of release ?

[Thomas Tholén]

I can't see how we would want anything else that the title (that would be what's printed on the release, IMO) in the title field. If the release is called different things in different places, then that's a problem of course, but those are best solved case-by-case, and preferably by chosing one of the possible titles, not by making up a completely new one only because releases with the same music usually are called that way. That will make it more difficult to find your exact release than necessary.

Hello there,

Thsi edit http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=5821124 brings this mail.

Frenquently, while a classical CD bears several works, only one is featured
on the sleeve.

Example: http://amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000027O4P whose sleeve only
mentions Bach's magnificat while ther's also a cantate in it.

So what should the title be, 1) "J.S. Bach: Magnificat" as per the sleeve,
or something like 2) "Magnificat BWV 243 / Cantate BWV 80" ?

My take would be that, often a release may bear different sleeves with
different titles according to the country where it's released, or the date
of re-release, so I think choice 2 is better.

Your opinion ?

MLL
