Tagging classical music

[bbrip]

Pleasure. Actually on live piano recitals I do deviate from above approach and I keep them as one Album to maintain the sense of occasion character.

ie:
Jorge Bolet Live at Carnegie Hall 1982
Pletnev Live at Carnegie Hall 2001
Volodos Live In Vienna 2009
etc.
etc.

But even on orchestral live events you'll find that those have been taken from different concerts. Take as an example the late recording of Abbado / Argerich of Mozart PC 20+25. Its on one CD but this has actually been taken from two separate concerts in Lucerne (I know because I've been lucky enough to have been at one of them...). So I feel justified tagging them as two separate "Albums". However, I have defined a Genre 'Live-Recording' which will make it into my multitagged Genre so I will find back all live-recordings in my collection quickly

As you say, its a matter of the right balance between pragmatism and perfection. I've given up trying to be perfect just costs me too much time.
