Béla Horovitz

Béla Horovitz (8 April 1898 – 8 March 1955) was a Hungarian-born British publisher, the co-founder in 1923, with Ludwig Goldscheider, of Phaidon Press.[1]

Bela Horovitz was born in Budapest.[2]

Phaidon Press was founded in Vienna in 1923, but moved to London in 1938,[2] together with his wife Lotte, and their children.[3] Their youngest child was the classical music promoter Hannah Horovitz.[3] Their son Joseph Horovitz is a composer and conductor.

In 1949, their daughter Elly married Harvey Miller, who joined Phaidon Press, and after Horovitz's death in 1955, succeeded him as its director.[4]
