On the recordings, all the relationships show 1989-01-17 to 1989-01-27. So, I assume that this is when it was recorded.
On the work relationships, we have “(recording of) (1989-01-17 – 1989-01-27)”
This seems redundant (or at least a recording property) - is that really when this recording was made or is it some date tied to the work itself? I wouldn’t want to make it look like Mozart wrote something in the 21st century!
The date between a work and its recordings is the recording date.
I don’t think that it looks ambiguous, from the various pages where we can see this piece of information… but maybe I am too much accustomed with MB data.
Great - thanks. It does seem like the recording date, but I was getting nervous seeing the recent date right above work dates in the 1700s on the edit relationships page. When I go to the work, though, you can see the dates of the recordings on the left and it is much clearer.
composer:
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (classical composer) (tracks 2–9)
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (classical composer) (1776-07-20) (track 1)
conductor:
Sir Neville Marriner (1984-11) (tracks 1–9)

recording of:
March in D major, K. 249 “Haffner” (1984-11) (track 1)
Serenade no. 7 for Orchestra in D major, K. 248b/250 “Haffner”: I. Allegro maestoso - Allegro molto (1984-11) (track 2)
I think it’s clear that 1776 concerns the composition. It could be visually clearer that the „(1984-11)“ in the „recording of“ section is meant to be the recording date, not a disambiguation or addition to the work title. If you know MB, you can tell by the colour.
The release pages looks fine - I think it is clear there. I think the “recorded at” and “recording of” separate it nicely. I think what confused me were the work attributes when editing - there are x’s to delete them and I it didn’t make sense to me to remove work attributes on the shared work.
I think The Grand Poobah just needs to work faster - lol. It does happen sometimes, though!
