hehe, I was listening to Viktoria Mullova playing his violin concerto as 
this mail entered my inbox :)

Sorry for the hasty formulation "one language per work sounds good", I 
don't have the solution to this problem. But my first thought is that 
Works ideally should be entered also in cyrillic. It might not be very 
practical, though.

For tagging you should get most of what you need from the track listing 
of your release. But we have a problem if strange characters in the 
Works make them difficult for editors to reliably find and use.

Perhaps the opus numbers and other catalogue information can help?
