About

The publication of a double album devoted to Mathilde de Rothschild’s music constitutes a further important step in the reassessment of nineteenth-century women composers. Anyone who is familiar with the cultural life of the time would be aware of the importance of the Rothschild family, who were patrons of many prominent composers, such as Mendelssohn, Herz, Bellini, Spohr, Liszt, Meyerbeer, Rossini and Chopin. The latter, in 1849, was eager to teach the teenage “Rothschild girl”, whom he clearly considered very talented. Mathilde went on to become a respected, prolific and well-published composer of beautiful music.
