Early Portuguese recordings for The Gramophone Company (1900—1908) and the establishment of a phonographic market in Portugal

Abstract

My article strives to study phonography in Portugal between the 1900 recording sessions for The Gramophone Company and the company’s first significant Portuguese catalogue, printed in December 1908. I aim to trace the transformations undertaken in the discs and repertoires along with their segmentation during the first decade of Portuguese phonography, with the establishment of a phonographic market in the country.
