Does this lead to
symphonic/Beethoven,_Ludwig_van/Symphony_No._9_in_d_min/Toscanini_BBC.flac
symphonic/Beethoven,_Ludwig_van/Symphony_No._9_in_d_min/Toscanini_LaScala.flac
symphonic/Beethoven,_Ludwig_van/Symphony_No._9_in_d_min/Mengelberg.flac
symphonic/Beethoven,_Ludwig_van/Symphony_No._9_in_d_min/Szell_Cleveland.flac
symphonic/Beethoven,_Ludwig_van/Symphony_No._9_in_d_min/Szell_London.flac
symphonic/Beethoven,_Ludwig_van/Symphony_No._9_in_d_min/Szell_Columbia.flac

Now the 9th is one of the worst cases, everyone has recorded it at
least once. But the conductor and orchestra and often the vocal chorus
all deserve to be part of the identifying indicies. And maybe
you'd want to listen to how the LSO plays the first movement under
the direction of Muti, Szell and Toscanini.

To be followed up with which is the best recoring of the 9th  :-)
