==Mixed recitals by a performer or group== |
|||
In cases where a release features a single performer or group and contains works from multiple composers, that performer or group may be designated the [[Release Artist|ReleaseArtist]], with each [[Track Artist|TrackArtist]] assigned to the appropriate composer. |

'''Important notes:''' |

# Do not create new Artists for performer collaborations (such as "Herbert von Karajan & The Berlin Philharmonic.") |
|||
# Also, do not use this style for conductors who are also composers (such as Leonard Bernstein or Pierre Boulez.) |
|||
# This recital style does not apply to releases with works by only one composer (such as [http://musicbrainz.org/release/a8e3a35f-6046-4b23-a98e-b6fd01244ebf.html Sole e Amore (Kiri Te Kanawa)]), however much they might emphasize the performer. |

The Classical Style Guidelines:
- CSG for Tracks and Recordings:
Track/Recording Artist
|
|
Status: Everything below this point is in need of cleanup for CSGv2 |
The artist should be the composer(s) of the performed work.
Classical "Covers"
In releases where classical works are arranged, remixed, or otherwise substantially modified by the primary performer, that performer should be designated as ReleaseArtist. The composer(s) should be attributed only by AdvancedRelationships of the ComposerRelationshipType either to the whole album (if there is only one composer), or the individual tracks (if there are several composers). here we say arrangements is an exeption, but further down it's not?
- Examples: Béla Fleck: Perpetual Motion Jacques Loussier: Play Bach No. 1 William Orbit: Pieces in a Modern Style
When dealing with works that are NOT covers, the composer is designated as artist, as usual:
- J.S. Bach's Unaccompanied Cello Suites Performed on Double Bass (Edgar Meyer). Here Bach is credited as the Artist and Edgar Meyer's transcriptions are indicated with an ArrangerRelationshipType.
Also, when one composer has arranged a work by another, one would use the same plan:
