The History of Deutsche Grammophon In 1887, Emil Berliner patented his new invention - the gramophone - and by 1898 Berliner and his brother Joseph had scraped together the money to open the world's first record-pressing factory. By 1902,
Berliner and producer Fred Gaisberg had discovered an artist who was prepared to commit his voice to the recording process - Enrico Caruso. In six programmes, Stephen Johnson explores the history of this great record company, talking to artists, critics and record executives.
