Surface Forms
Morphology
The meaning 'a business that produces and distributes musical recordings' is directly and transparently composed from 'recording' (audio/video captures) + 'company' (an organization), so a learner who knows both words can infer the compound meaning. This noun–noun compounding pattern is common in English and cross-linguistically, making it readily comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Recording company comes from early businesses that made and sold records, the flat discs that captured singers' voices and music. So a recording company today is a business that produces, promotes, and sells music recordings.
