False claims are endemic for classical youtube uploads. AI systems and human agents alike conflate different recordings of the same work more as a rule than as an exception. Both ability and incentives create a massive bias in favor of this state of affairs.

How do you know that they are performances from 1984? Where did you get that?

I just found something before clicking submit. From another video:

> Confutatis K.626 - Scrolling Score

> Performer & Album Info - 7:35

> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMwaiA581AQ&t=455s

This is the one I'm referring to. https://www.amazon.com/Art-Fugue-Bach/dp/B00000E2U0

I thought this was a reference to 1984, but nope. I checked the other videos on the channel, and it was indeed (professional) performances in recent decades, which has a separate copyright. In this case, as law stands now, UMG (Universal Music Group), with the agreement of the performer*, owns the rights of the performances.

* Whether the performer have regrets (seems unlikely though in this case) is for outside discussion.
