BBC Radio 4 - Counterpoint, Series 28, The Final 2014

Paul Gambaccini chairs the 2014 final of the general knowledge music quiz.

The current series of the eclectic music quiz reaches its climax, with Paul Gambaccini asking the questions.

(13/13)

Many of us are familiar with the song 'Istanbul, not Constantinople' - but who recorded the original version? And which European city (definitely not Istanbul) is the home of the Gulbenkian orchestra? 

The 2014 season of the wide-ranging music quiz comes to its climax, with Paul Gambaccini hosting the Final from BBC Maida Vale.

The three Finalists are from Derbyshire, London and Cheshire. Only one of them can take the 2014 Counterpoint champion's trophy, but with formidable performances in their respective heats and semi-finals it would be a bold prediction as to which of the three will triumph.

As well as answering general knowledge questions on music, the Finalists will also have to choose a special musical subject on which to answer individual questions, with no prior hint of what the available topics are going to be.

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.

Russell Davies hosts the general knowledge music quiz, with contestants from all over the UK competing to become Radio 4's musical mastermind for 2014.
