I should expand on that, I guess.  6.28.1.5 indicates, among other things, that 
a performance of a musical work "involving substantial creative responsibility 
for adaptation, improvisation, etc., on the part of the performer or 
performers" counts as an adaptation, and the authorized access point is 
constructed from the title plus the performer, rather than the original author 
of the music.

So if the performer is considered to have adapted each of the works on the 
collective work, then he is the creator of each of them, and is also the 
creator of the collective work.  If, on the other hand, the performer did not 
really adapt the works, then the performer is not the creator of the collective 
work.
