That's pretty much what I assumed, however now I know for sure I can check and correct as necessary.
As always the problem is to get consistancy across all albums, including any not on Musicbrainz, so that Kodi has a chance to know that, in this case, Barber and Samuel Barber, are the same. Perhaps a way to manually 'join' all spellings of an artists/composers name, as in JS Bach, J.S.Bach, etc. would be an idea for future versions, with a SORT order to list them as Bach, J.S.?
For classical albums ALBUMARTISTS has always struck me unnecessary. For this album I have COMPOSER, ORCHESTRA, CONDUCTOR (and PERFORMER) tagged along with associated SORT tags, however Musicbrainz, annoyingly, doesn't include GENRE and insists on using PERFORMER(ORCHESTRA) rather than ORCHESTRA so I don't envy you trying to make sense of all the tagging schemes out there.
