When it comes to classical music featured in television and movies (and listed here on Tunefind), there are two things to keep in mind:
1. Given the large number of versions of various classical pieces and sometimes subtle variations that may not always be evident in the preview clips provided by Spotify or Apple Music, it can be very difficult for individuals to agree on which particular recording was featured. Luckily we have our active community of Tunefind users like you and our relationships with the music supervisors and composers to help verify the correct details!
2. Importantly, when a track is listed on Tunefind via a search result provided by Apple or Spotify (which gives us those handy links to listen via those services), that artist field will be whoever Apple or Spotify has listed in the artist field of the metadata in their database. The current practice of Apple Music and Spotify is to recognize the "recording artist" in their artist field, not the composer or whoever arranged the piece. Unfortunately, this is how they have standardized their data and we don't have the ability to override this.
While we are unable to change the third-party metadata, we do make notes when appropriate. Brackets can be used to make a note about a song, in the song's scene description field. This may look something like [Composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky] or [Arranged by John Doe]. Keep in mind this should only be done in the few instances where it has been confirmed that those details are correct.
