Tagging classical is most of all a lot of work.
The internet databases in general recognize the CD but the results are often  a mess.

Don't be surprised if you get
Sonate für Klavier und Violine F-dur Opus 24 [Frühling]
Sonata No. 5 "Frühlings - Sonate"
The Violin Sonata No. 5 in F major “Spring”, Opus 24

Often the composer is stored in the artist field and the performer hopefully in the album title.

What you need is tags for Composer and Composition and have them populated in a uniform way.

The MusiCHI tagger addresses these problems.
It has pick list for Composer and Composition.

You can also batch process your collection (MusiCHI Clean)

The text processor offers a lot of options to cleanup your tags.

I do recommend the MusiCHI Tagger.
It is a real time saver when tagging classical.

The suite consist of 4 applications allowing you to rip, to tag, to play and to manage the libraries independent of each other. This allows you to e.g. play and rip at the same time while doing some tagging.

This suite is primarily targeted at Classical and Jazz.
It offers different styles to manage a classical and a jazz collection.
Beside the conventional tags it adds

• Period or style
