I've been tagging my cluttered classical music library and came across 3 recordings of Karajan's recording of Mozart's Requiem Mass.
The three versions are denoted only by their years, which are 1987, 1975 and 1962. The 1987 recording is here:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/mozart-requiem/id4569134
It was with the Wiener Philharmoniker (Vienna Philharmonic), so the album artist is listed as Herbert von Karajan & Wiener Philharmoniker.
Unfortunately, take a look at the other two:
1975: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/mozart-requiem/id4347971
1962: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/mozart-requiem/id402152677
Album Name: "Mozart: Requiem"
Album Artist: "Berliner Philharmoniker & Herbert von Karajan"
Although all three have the same album name, the 1975 and 1962 also happens to share its ALBUM ARTIST! I've tried many ways including modifying the Sort Album field but iTunes keeps combining these two albums into one album. I cannot find a way to split them, find the right album cover from iTunes for the 1962, and whatnot. Can someone help me organize these albums?
Also, this is bound to be a common issue when organizing my classical collection because Karajan made multiple versions of many pieces with the same orchestras. I'd appreciate a rather permanent and replicable solution...
