Ethnic Music and Soviet Record Industry

ommercial record companies have issued a large number of ethnic and folk music recordings ever since the beginning of the 20th century. The Gramophone Company established subsidiaries in many Asian countries already before World War I. Some of the resulting recordings-now extremely rare-have been discussed by Dennis (1969). During the 1920s and 1930s the leading European and U.S. companies issued recordings practically everywhere. Particularly noteworthy was the HMV factory in Dum Dum, India, which supplied recordings for many Asian countries. Japan had a considerable local record production (Schulz-K6hn 1940:56-61). Some samples of the recordings of this period can be heard in Hornbostel's well-known Music of the Orient anthology (Odeon-Parlophone) and in the first volume of HMV's History of Music
