Paul Gambaccini chairs the last of the 2014 semi-finals of the wide-ranging music quiz.

Third and last semi-final of the wide-ranging music quiz, with Paul Gambaccini in the questionmaster's chair.

Which jazz musician's work is celebrated in the stage musical Five Guys Named Moe? And who was the architect of the grand opera house in Paris completed in 1875, which is sometimes known by his name? 

Paul Gambaccini asks the questions in the eclectic music quiz. The one remaining place in the grand Final will be decided between semi-finalists from Staffordshire, London and West Yorkshire. All three scored impressive victories in the series heats, and the competition will be intense.

As well as answering general knowledge music questions, the competitors have to choose a special musical subject on which to answer their own questions - the choice of topics, as always, coming as a complete surprise.

The winner returns in the 28th annual Counterpoint Final next week.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.

Russell Davies hosts the general knowledge music quiz.
