It has often been debated whether Caruso 'made' the gramophone, or whether the gramophone 'made' Caruso, but it certainly made him rich and famous, and his voice was the sound that introduced many to the wonderful new invention. 

Since then every great singer has committed his or her voice to the gramophone (and to posterity) and Kingsway Hall Classics has a huge catalogue of the singers of the 20th century - from Caruso to Pavarotti and from Nellie Melba to Anna Netrebko.
