It's not *necessary* to duplicate the artist info in albums and titles. But you do need to think about how you want to use this: if you don't put the Composer in the Album name, then your Album list (when you browse albums) is likely to show several "Symphony no. 5"s for different composers. Possibly even several "Symphony no. 5 - Karajan"s if you have a big collection!
So you would have to make sure you add the option in the display to show the artist as well, so you get "Symphony no. 5 by Beethoven". This is fine in the web interface, but can be a pain if you are using the remote and display, because you may need to wait for the name to scroll sideways to see which album you've got to. Much the same goes for the track title. If you have an SB and are relying on the display to tell you what is playing, having it show "3- Allegro" isn't very helpful. It also says in the wiki: "Whether you include the Composer or not depends on what information you want to be visible when browsing or playing. If in doubt, when you start ripping make sure you include all the information you might want: if you change your mind later you can always edit it out, but adding stuff you missed can be troublesome." For myself, I started out with the full information as described in the wiki (not surprising as I wrote it!) but went to the shorter version (omitting composer) when my Transporter arrived - I now have double the real estate for displaying information using he MusicInfoScr plugin!
