The quintet version is another stupidity by a musical idiot & disgusting arranger. I think this is a bit harsh. Whilst I would prefer to play and hear the original, arrangements such as this do at least allow those who can raise a wind quintet but not the original instrumentation the opportunity to play and enjoy pieces which would be otherwise denied them. Generally, I don't like arrangements, but I recognise them as a necessary evil. (Except, of course, those arrangements intended to be played for fun and not really meant as serious contributions to the world of serious music).
