Definitely. Pieces end up being listed something like "Symphony No.3, Mvt. II", but they only show the performer which is the orchestra playing rather than the composer so I have no idea which symphony it is. I haven't seen any service get classical music right.

I think your list is pretty good (composer/piece/orchestra/conductor/performers). It'd be nice to also have a field for the movement. Also I totally agree with custom sort order being a must. E.g. for choir pieces swap out 'orchestra' for 'choir', for piano pieces only include 'performer' field, concertos should have the 'soloist' before the orchestra, etc.
