Music - Comprehensive Review

Asked by YH · May 19, 2003 · Other

Question

Dear Rabbi, I saw several posts about music, and you seem to hold that Classical Music is allowed all year round. I wasnted to know several things. 1. Why is Cassical allowed? Does it have to do with Ikar Shira Bepeh? 2. Does that include all instrumental music? 3. What's the deal with Kol Isha? (live/recorded/saw her/ Didnt see her) 4. Is opera included in classical? 5. Is there a difference between live and recorded?
