Well, no, let me correct myself.  If you attributed the composer AR to the
disc as you originally proposed, it would truly look like ass.

But making Hahn the ReleaseArtist would move it from "album, official" to
"various artist albums", thus no longer giving it equal placement with
other Bach concerto discs.  And Hahn's name would still not be
transmitted.
