The Electro-Classic Orchestra Plays Walter Murphy’s ‘A Fifth Of Beethoven’


The Electro-Classic Orchestra shared the video for Beethoven Five!, their take on Walter Murphy’s 1976 classic, A Fifth Of Beethoven.

Some might think that Murphy’s A Fifth Of Beethoven epitomizes everything cheesy about the ’70s – including disco, pop covers of classical music and late-stage Moogsploitation.

The members of the Electro-Classic Orchestra only know better, though, and their version of A Fifth Of Beethoven might just make you see the disco hit in a new light:

The Electro-Classic Orchestra version has it all – ‘Moogsploitation’ style synth sounds, propulsive drums, a great arrangement, and even awesome staches.

If you like what you hear, make sure you check out their album Bach ReWired on Amazon, a new collection of ‘switched on’ synth arrangements.
