My example fits the title of your topic but isn't an album and isn't a problem of mastering. It's simply a low quality recording of a superb performance.
The etudes of Leo Brouwer have had a big impact on contemporary solo guitar and I play both of these. While learning I listened to many recordings and YouTubes and this is the best. It's so frustrating to see that mic in front of the guitar but to have only this crummy audience cell phone recording. All the same, it's still the best. Tempo, rubato and phrasing in Omaggio a Szymanovsky are wonderful. He does things to the Omaggio a Stravinsky that are unusual and stunning.
Note how he swings the first 3 bars and even more so when it repeats, and the palm mute right before the ending, and at bar 11 he throws in a gratuitous repeat of half a bar stretching it to a 6/4. His CD recording of the same work is almost boring by comparison.
These aren't technically the hardest etudes for guitar but in the published book Brouwer wrote "This collection is for beginners or children." I'm not sure what to make of that.
