DEUTSCHE GRAMOPHONE Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft. The CORRESPONDENCE SERIES is an investigation into the background of recipients of British pre- stamped postal stationery. The "collection" was purchased in South Africa in 1999 as a job lot, the which took me six months to sort and mount, creating a collection spanning 140 years. I have no idea of the provenance. The Reference work is British Postal Stationery, A K Huggins.1970. The first date with catalogue number refers to the year when the pre-stamped envelope was first issued; the second, the year when the envelope was actually used. Philatelic Description of the item of Postal Stationery: 1905 (CP51)_Deutsche Gramophone, Aktien-Gesellschaft, Kniestrasse 18. Hanover 1905 (actually used London DEC 15 1903) Comment: Emile Berliner was the inventor of the gramophone and a disc that could be played on it. The American patent for this dated 29 September 1887. After a decade of both technological and commercial experimentation, Berliner returned to Europe in 1898, first forming the Gramophone Company, London; and together with his brother Joseph, the Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft, Hanover. Within a decade, the company was producing several million records a year. His business partner, Fred Gaisberg, recruited extraordinary artists such as Enrico Caruso, Feodor Chaliapin and Dame Nellie Melba. In 1941, motivated by Ernst von Siemens , Deutsche Grammophon was taken over by Siemens & Halske. In 1962, the recording arm of Siemens linked up with the Dutch firm of Philips to create the DGG/PPI Group, which, in 1971, led to the creation of PolyGram. Siemens withdrew from the group in 1987, leaving Philips with a majority shareholding. In 1998, the Seagram Company Ltd., based in Canada, acquired PolyGram and formed the Universal Music Group. Deutsche Grammophon is now part of Universal Classics. References: 1.

Investing in MusiC How music companies discover, nurture and promote talent Investing In Music 2012 contents 1 Introduction by Plácido Domingo 2 Commentary by Frances Moore and Alison Wenham 3 Section One: The Cycle of Investment 4 Section Two: Dicovering and Signing Talent 16 Section Three: Nurturing Talent 18 Section 4: Promoting Talent 3 2012 Investing In Music introduction by Plácido Domingo, Chairman of IFPI Other collaborations are also possible, for example between the artist and a management company. But all these efforts to promote music depend on the protection of the copyrights and intellectual property of the musicians and the producers of the music. Without such protection, investment will not be forthcoming. Collaboration and investment are defining qualities of the music industry and play a vital role in helping artists pursue their career. Of course, the digital era has brought dramatic changes, but I do not believe it has made the investors in music any less important. Even in the age of the internet, where self-publishing is so much easier for artists than in the past, technology alone I am fortunate to have had a career of more than 50 years in cannot ensure an artist’s work is heard and appreciated. music. I have worked with people of exceptional artistic talent That is why artists continue to work in partnership with record and I continue to work today to try and help young musicians companies, management and others to develop their careers fulfil their ambitions and creative potential as opera singers. and bring their music to the widest possible audience.
