Can someone provide a brief overview of the frequency response
characteristics of a good quality audio cassette tape compared with a
recordable CD?

Any image of a mountain range will do just fine.

I am interested in recording ambient nature sounds and would like to
capture as much realism as possible.

Zoom H2, based on the recordings I just edited from one its mics has a
frequency response linearity that goes well with the rrp, but it had been
deployed placed on a table, and such a placement will cause frequency
response aberrations for any mic because of the surface reflections.

Note: your initial question about cassette tape implicitly suggested the
Zoom h2 because it is the current equivalent of a high quality portable
casette recorder with the MAJOR difference that you just amplify it if it is
underrecorded by 30 dB.
