They played some of this on BBC's World Service last night.

There were earlier electronic musical instruments though.

This is from wiki.

The first electric synthesizer was invented in 1876 by Elisha Gray [2], who is best known for his development of a telephone prototype. The "Musical Telegraph" was a chance by-product of his telephone technology. Gray accidentally discovered that he could control sound from a self vibrating electromagnetic circuit and in doing so invented a basic single note oscillator. The Musical Telegraph used steel reeds whose oscillations were created and transmitted, over a telephone line, by electromagnets. Gray also built a simple loudspeaker device in later models consisting of a vibrating diaphragm in a magnetic field to make the oscillator audible.
