To fix this problem, you can organize classical music by putting the composer in the artist field and the performer in the now-vacant composer field. I modified iTunes to support this new paradigm in a transparent manner, e.g. everything now says "Artist/Composer" instead of "Artist", and where it used to say "Composer", it now says "Ensemble".
This page details how to modify iTunes in this manner, and also has a link to my finished Localized.rsrc if you just want to try it out. It also provides a very solid jumping-off point for anyone who wants to change the way metadata is organized and presented in iTunes.
[robg adds: This hint requires modifying files within iTunes itself, and doing so using a hex editor. As noted there, please make sure you make a backup first if you're going to try this. I have not tested this hint myself.]
