Keep in mind: The man who made this was a straight-edge, classically-trained musician who had to come up with a string arrangement for a drugged out song about being a Walrus, and he came up with this.
George Martin was a BRILLIANT bastard. Those counterpoint strings at the end create exactly the mind of mood that John was trying to evoke for the outro.
The Beatles owe so much to George Martin and his genius. I love the Beatles, but without George Martin's expertise their sound would have been much different.
George Martin was truly a genius when it came to the orchestral writing he did for the Beatles. I could sit and listen to a whole album’s worth of isolated orchestral overdubs from Beatles songs, you can hear so many things that you didn’t notice were there! (ie, the title indicates just horns and strings, but listening closely at around
Such an amazing score. The Beatles and George Martin and all the technical people at EMI... a once in a lifetime thing when everything came together and all the right people were in the right place, including the rest of the world.
Man that’s why no one will ever touch them as a band/musicians. Light years ahead, my favorite psychedelic track they ever put out. Gracias Lennon,McCartney, Harrison and Starr
"...And THAT Boys and Girls is how the Beatles became pregnant and gave birth to E.L.O!"

There is but one fifth-Beatle
As a musician I write songs all the time....but when it comes to this kind of writing it just blows my mind
Love these breakdowns. Even the horns and strings sound evil
I'm just completely flabbergasted and gobsmacked. Goosebumps all over.
ELO music inspired from this
Damn that’s amazing. I want to hear a live symphony do this.

Such an amazing piece of work. George Martin was a genius as well. Gives me chills how good this is.
We're blessed to hear George Martin's genius in music like this.

George Martin was incredibly brilliant. Miss him.
I am the walrus is a true song that brings the art of phycadelic music to life and I love it
This amazing orchestration makes half of a song
