quintet

It didn’t quite turn out that Brahmsians would have the rare chance of a full survey of the quintets and sextets downtown over six days.

Beyond the performance, the assembly of this England quintet is made more remarkable by the obstacles each man has had to overcome to be on the field.

The quintet could all return soon following varying spells on the sidelines but it remains to be seen if any of them are passed fit for the north London derby.

A federal grand jury in New York indicted the quintet on Tuesday, each on a single felony count of conspiracy to distribute controlled substances resulting in death, according to court documents filed in the U.S.

The resulting quintet that played together for the first time in early 1977 may have had a cutting-edge sound, but Orr and Ocasek, at least, were musical veterans.
