    So Quintet is the word, because Sir Cliff and Cecil both played in one (many) and Paul wrote a classic for one?

    Meantime, pressing on....

    This R pulls together some recent topics: linking Sir Cliff with Sir Charles Hallé and plain old Mr L.C.Lambert.

      or they all played with Quartets making them Quintets!

      eg Curzon with VPQuartet playing the Trout
      Aronowitz with the Amadeus in Mozart's Str Quintets
      Paul Desmond originally in the Dave Brubeck Quartet but Rejoined them alongside his 'replacement' Gerry Mulligan in the 1970s.

        Oh I see!! the particular penny hadn't dropped....

        I thought it was about Clifford and Cecil playing with each other.

        Moving swiftly on...

              I can't find a plain old Mr L. C. Lambert anywhere. Any ideas anyone?

                      I don't think you'd get far in God's own northern county with that accent, Anna. It's not Real Grand!

                        See ##28395 - 28404 above. Perhaps you were under the knife at the time...

                            Constant Lambert conducted the Halle in the 30s and 40s . Could it be they performed Rio Grande and Clifford (pre KB as he was then) tickled the ivories for them?

                              Oh, you are treading a different path from me, I thought it may be a composer from Lancashire (hence awful accent)

                                Not so far as I know and that's not on the card, on which the only connection between Lambert and Hallé is indirect via R.

                                As to R - Anna's amusing bit of regional stereotyping hints at his origins
