What music do you use to assess your system?


I'm looking for music that will reveal shortcomings or strengths within ones system. Lets list some of our favorite songs that have: good, fluctuating bass lines, songs that have a solid, centerd vocal, songs that are super complex with alot going on, songs that test tone, songs that test inner and micro detail, songs that test how well a speaker can convey dynamic swing, and any other aspects I didn't mention.

Of course I'm not looking for one song that covers all areas, I'm fine with one song only covering one aspect.

When listing songs, please include what we are looking for in that particular song!

Bach Cantatas by Le petite band .
Kurt Elling/"Man in the Air"
The one and only Stanley Turrentine / "Joyride" on Blue Note. Great sound with fabulous band throwing in everything to include the kitchen sink !
Simply mic'd vocals with accompaniment (piano is good, but acoustic guitar will do), and recordings I've made myself with a pair of good condensers and a Revox A77.
Solo piano,flute,guitar,violin,cello, sax. String quartets,quintets. Mozart/Beethoven octets. Jazz w bass,drums and xylophone. Massive symphonic. All sipping warm brandy. Cheers.
