1. Choral music raises many shailohs (content, womens voices, words are distracting)
2. Some classical music has an avodah zarah shailoh (a shailoh, not an objection)
3. There is the issue (for non-zionists) that we aren’t supposed to be listening to music for enjoyment while in mourning for Yerusalim.
4. Otherwise, it is certainly prefereable to the usual noises of the “real world” – especially
when commuting.
