Hi, i was searching for 'claude debussy' on search and it comes up with loads of orchestras rather than the artist itself. Maybe for classical musicians they can all come come under one artist as they can refer to the artist on the orchestras albums page just like you can refer to 'mark kozelak' on the main red house painters page.

This would be a very sensible move.

Debussy died in 1918, and it's not likely that he could be the recording artist on any albums.

Composers are listed at the beginning of album titles for classical albums. If you search Debussy and select album instead of artist, you get a list of 18 albums on which Debussy is credited as a composer.

I just think putting those 18 albums all under one composer where you can see all his work and see his top rated compositions would be helpful instead of having to wade through 18 separate albums to find this information.

Albums on BEA are credited to the performing artist, so different performances of a classical piece will fall under different artists. It might be possible in a future site update to add a credit for the composer so that there could be a method of viewing interpretations of a composer's music together.

In the meantime, the best way of doing this would be to perform a search for the composer from the search page and all albums with the composer's name should be listed (as mentioned by Romanelli the composer name is added by BEA convention as part of the album title) so these should all come up when you perform a search.
