@BikerDude while I dig some more to identify exactly which of your music files have issues, you can start with some re-tagging that will ensure artists have their names and not just mbids.
The music files of the following albums need to have an ALBUMARTISTS (note the "s") tag to enable Kodi to match the multiple album artist mbids to individual artist names.
In particular the Verdi has many album artists e.g. Verdi, Philharmonia Orchestra, Ambrosian Opera Chorus, Riccardo Muti, Manuguerra, Luchetti, Ghiaurov, Scotto, Elena Obraztsova
Sadly Picard does not do this buy default (although it does add an ARTISTS tag to help the same process for artists), but you can set a script value. In Picard options>options>scripting add
$setmulti(albumartists,%_albumartists%)
and that creates the tag correctly. Otherwise you can do it manually adding separate frame values for ALBUMARTISTS or using the standrad item separator in single frame.
