Yes, you do. That's how you keep your several recordings of Karajan's
Beethoven's Fifth apart.

That's why I propose basic tags (that are used in iTunes, for example.)
it's nothing funky. To find a classical recording, you need the composer
(already supported), the work (not supported) and the artist (kind of
supported, because one can have more then recording of an artist).
That's why something else, a tag for the recording is needed.

My proposal regarding the implementation:

Support of these two basic tags and two or three special purpose tags
that can be used for whatever people can come up with. No new default
menus. Additional menus could be created with virtual libraries (I
think).

The time and energy reason I can understand.

Would it be possible for a plugin to just "scan more and put in the
native db"? I think you did this with FTS. If it's in there, couldn't it
be used for virtual libraries?

Sorry for being persistent, but I think this would be a great
opportunity.
