- Several luminaries can claim to have invented the gramophone. Only one man made mass duplication of discs possible - Emil Berliner. As a result, a major new industry came into being.

Caruso and other great performers are heard in early recordings, and contributors, including John Eliot Gardiner, Pierre Boulez, and Anne-Sophie Mutter, comment on the pros and cons of today's advanced technology.
