Emil Berliner Studios

Other artists included Wilhelm Kempff, Elly Ney, Georg Kulenkampff, Erna Berger and Heinrich Schlusnus.

In 1976 the studio, together with Eugen Jochum, produced the first 16 track opera production (Wagner: Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg), at the same time the first digital stereo test recording took place with Maurizio Pollini.

The first multitrack digital recording took place in 1979 with Herbert von Karajan (Wagner: Parsifal).

It was during this period the Emil Berliner Studios developed the ambient surround imaging technique.

In May 2008, a management buyout of the recording department resulted in separation from Deutsche Grammophon and the foundation of EBS Productions GmbH & Co. KG.

One particularly special feature is the reintroduction of pure analogue direct to disc recordings.

The recording center of Deutsche Grammopon was located on the top three floors from 1978 to 1996
