Par VAUGHAN WILLIAMS RALPH. Quintet in D is in four movements: Allegro moderato - Allegretto Intermezzo - Andantino , and - Allegro molto finale . If it only fitfully contains elements of the mature Vaughan Williams, it is a delightful work in its own right, with playful touches and more than a ration of charm.
