Heat 4, 2016
In the fourth heat of the 2016 series, Paul Gambaccini welcomes competitors from Hampshire and London to face questions on every genre of music.
(4/13)
In the fourth heat of the 2016 series Paul Gambaccini welcomes competitors from Hampshire and London to face questions on every genre of music, with plenty of surprises and intriguing musical extracts. The programme comes from the 麻豆社's historic Maida Vale studios.
Which American group wrote and originally performed the song which gave Lulu her first (and still best-known) hit? With which orchestra was Eugene Ormandy associated for more than forty years? Which composer is the subject of Julian Barnes's recent novel The Noise of Time?
In addition to general musical questions such as these, the competitors have to choose a special musical topic on which to answer their own individual questions, with no prior warning of the categories and no chance to prepare.
Producer: Paul Bajoria.
