Sorry, I did not mean to be impolite. I just thought my email was
"worthy" of being seen by others.

included.
(In a friendly, joking tone) Or you could get an email client that
doesn't show you irrelevant portions of forwarded emails ;) I use
Gmail and I guess it auto-hides stuff that isn't responded to in a
foward.

I don't see how the first scenario is bad at all - it's fine! You seem
hung up on what is "essentially" part of the title, when really Classical
releases generally have no fixed title - what's on the cover is usually
different from what's on the spine, etc. Here at MB the performer
information is a very important part of the title because it is needed to
differentiate the release from other recordings of the same repertory.
(If we had label/cat differentiation that would also help, but we don't.)
