For example, look at first track of the [release](https://musicbrainz.org/release/c2c3d2fa-75ab-49b8-91a1-47c7f25cbba5)

Artist column has _Sinfóníuhljómsveit Íslands_ (this is actually Track Artist)  
In Title column under the actual title has _Recording artist: Sinfóníuhljómsveit Íslands, Bjarte Engeset_

If I select **Edit** tab to edit the release

and then **TrackList**

I can now edit the (Track) Artist

If I go to the **Recordings** tab you can clearly see the differences between Track and Recording

and I can select a _Recording_

and then **Edit** to edit the (Recording) artist

This is all rather convoluted but I hope makes it clearer the difference between Track and Recoriding. As I said earlier for Pop/Rock you dont usually have to worry because they are almost always the same, I think that is why there UI is not very streamlined when you do have to change them which is usually only the case with Classical.
