I'd just add two works, add all relationships that apply to each work (so,
yes, add all the original artists to the new work as long as their
participation still applies to it - that's how it's done in the industry
too FWIW) and relate the recording to the new work.

I'd also just link the two works with "version of" - at least for the case
I'm thinking of which is hip hop 'remixes'. "based on" is intended for less
direct relationships I'd say - "suite is based on ballet" or "opera is
based on novel" or "pop song is based on Chopin piano piece".

Anyway, in general, yes, add any relationship that applies to the recording
to the actual recording (unless it is a work-level relationship of course,
then add it to the actual work linked to the recording :) )
