Description of the issue
For some composers like, here Beethoven, the composer’s page does not display all the albums associated with this composer.
Below is the screenshot of my “Albums” view with the filter : “Beethoven:Symph”. We can see here all the albums whose title begins with the filter string and, in the first place, the Symphonies by Paul Kletzki (highlighted in red).
Now, let’s move to Beethoven’s composer page.
In order to be sure we land on the good page, let’s click on the link to display the album’s details then on the link labelled “Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven”. We end on Beethoven’s page and unfortunately, the album conducted by Kletzki is not displayed. No matter the sort criteria I use, this album remains invisible. Here is the part displaying the symphonies ordered by title :
I think what’s happening is that Beethoven’s “discography” consists of over 9,000 albums. It may well be that Roon limits the display. You need to use Focus to refine the results a little.
So if I use Focus to just show albums where Paul Kletzki is the conductor, it turns up:
Unfortunately, the missing albums are not from the Discography tab but on the Overview tab, section “From my library”, which only contains 19 albums for Beethoven.
(well, 20 with the missing one BTW )
Discography tab + “in my library” icon : nope, the album does not show.
Discography tab + unclick “in my library” + Focus/Conductor/Paul Kletzki : I can see the album of the Symphonies by Kletzki but it is marked with the little Qobuz icon in the bottom left corner and not with the “my library” icon.
NB > OTOH, if I focus on Performers/Igor Levit for example, I can see the Piano Sonatas by Levit and it is marked with the correct “my library” icon.
Yes it does. The album has been identified by Roon database.
It only displays a few more information like “All tracks performed at Rudolfinum Prague” and some other data
I do notice that your screenshot is different to mine. In particular, it says that Symphony No. 1 is being performed by Ludwig van Beethoven, which a) is wrong and b) may point to some bad metadata in your local files?
As for the metadata, I have not yet edited this album to correct some common mistakes like setting the composer as the primary artist in the “settings” section, that’s why it shows as “performed by Beethoven”.
Truth is that I have some other metadata issues (not mentionned in this thread, I keep them for later ). All the albums with such errors are imported from my CDs. I guess the Qobuz copy is better and more up to date regarding metadata.
No problem, it sometimes seems that correcting metadata is a never-ending issue. For example, I now see that an album of Vivaldi’s music has crept into my list of Beethoven’s albums - it turns out that metadata rot has infected it somewhere along the line…
