Semi-Final 2, 2016
Three more amateur music lovers compete for a place in the 30th Counterpoint final, with Paul Gambaccini asking the questions about music of every variety.
(11/13)
The second semi-final of Counterpoint 2016 features another three competitors who've won through from the heats stage. Paul Gambaccini asks the questions, requiring a knowledge ranging from symphonic poems to no.1 pop albums of 2016. As always, the competitors also have to pick a special topic on which to answer an individual round of questions, with no prior warning of the categories. The winner will return in two weeks' time in the grand Final at the 麻豆社 Proms.
Producer: Paul Bajoria.
