Is it correct to include two entities in one tag: "Various Artists" and "Jamshied Sharifi"?

It’s understandable why the album artist is listed that way. Parts are written/performed by Various Artists, the rest was written by Jamshied Sharifi and performed by the orchestra.

I would only enter the composer as album artist, because that’s what was printed on the cover.

However, the recording artists should be corrected, because the recording artist should be the performer, not be the composer.

I’m giving you this case for free for correction. :wink: You’ll definitely do it better than me.

Okay, I’ve done it, but it’s not a very difficult task.

I would credit the release and release group to Jamshied Sharifi, like on the packaging, and because he is the main artist, anyway (16 tracks of 21).

I would remove Various Artists from there.

Various Artists, Jamshied Sharifi

I don’t know if Ernest will agree.
