I edit typically on music or history (and occasionally other topics, e.g., philosophy, medicine) when I can, which varies considerably. I enjoy all kinds of music, e.g.,

the Orlando Consort's take on Ciconia's prolation canon "Le ray au soleyl" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsKF2G37kkg);

the rubato and unassuming musicianship of Manlio Rocchi and others in this recording of Bellini's "Prendi, l'anel ti dono" from La sonnambula (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTJkNWXSbH8);

typically lush, post-Romantic nature music, especially from fin-de-siècle Vienna, whether it's Schoenberg's Gurre-Lieder (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs0jPBzntuI) or Joseph Marx's Herbstsymphonie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRPub5F197c);

Henri Pousseur's composite of apparently incongruous material in Crosses of Crossed Colors performed here by the "vocally powerful and dramatically shrewd" Joy Blackett (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzkhlpctTiA);

the endlessly varied lines of Franco Donatoni's mature music, like in the quasi-concertante Le ruisseau sur l'escalier, commissioned by Paul Méfano (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGjyqRKMw_s).
