On ClassicalReleaseArtistStyle, I think the following example could be
re-used:

http://musicbrainz.org/album/0736d1a9-d49d-49c5-bd9b-9ccbe9fc296e.html would
not qualify, because it is not "about the performers" and the performers
don't exist in MB as a group. This collection of Masses should correctly
remain under VariousArtists.
