Isn't it the case that different users want different things and that
the same thing doesn't apply to all releases? When I've added
soundtracks I've tried to use the performing artist (because it's on
the sleeve and it's the only thing I know). But for some soundtracks,
like Spirited Away
(

I'm far more interested in knowing the composer (Joe Hisaishi) than
what orchestra happened to record it.
I'm not particularly passionate about the style for soundtracks either
way, but I doubt that simply saying that the performer is the artist
will cut it in all cases.
Just my 2分...
