Abstract
The article focuses on the question of whether the connectivity of the Slovenian and Croatian cultural environment is reflected in the first gramophone recordings of their performers, whether these recordings were produced under similar circumstances and what role the Gramophone Company played. A detailed analysis of the Gramophone Company recordings shows that some of them belong to the very early period of gramophone record production and were made mostly in Zagreb and later in Ljubljana. The recorded material represents an important collection of sonority and, due to its historical value, can justifiably be considered a highly important part of our musical heritage.
