First Time Hearing ELO – Telephone Line || Classical Musicians React (Re-upload)

Today we’re reacting to Electric Light Orchestra’s “Telephone Line”.
Released in 1976 on their classic album A New World Record, this ballad blends rock with lush orchestration, showing Jeff Lynne’s genius for combining pop songwriting with symphonic textures. The song captures the loneliness and longing of trying to connect with someone far away, using the metaphor of a telephone call.

As classical musicians, this is our first time hearing “Telephone Line.” We’ll explore the emotional impact of the lyrics, ELO’s signature fusion of rock and orchestral elements, and Jeff Lynne’s unique production style.
