I had my first listen to a single white phantom last week. It was brief, but the sound was impressive. I think the bass performance of the phantom is largely beyond doubt. If I was going to sit down again for a calmer, more absorbing listen, I would like to hear music that shows the character of the mid and upper tones.
I think I would ask for:
Vivaldi concertos in C for 3 oboes, 2 clarinets and strings
Corelli conceri grossi in D (Trevor Pinnock, English Consort)
Pink Martini, tracks from 'Hang on, Little Tomato'
Jordi Savall, Rolf Lislevand, Michael Behringer; La Folia, or the sound track from Tous Les Matins Du Monde.
Nouvelle Vague, various.
Not that these are particularly demanding tracks or albums, or particularly top-heavy; just some items that we listen to often, and where I would notice the presentation of midrange and treble regions, as well as space, silence, fibrous texture.... esp. Jordi Savall.
There are plenty of excellent recommendations made already; I'm just fussing around before work.
