Hungarian-born British publisher


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

Bela Horovitz was born in Budapest.[1] He was the co-founder in Vienna in 1923, with Ludwig Goldscheider and Frederick "Fritz" Ungar, of the publishing house Phaidon Verlag.[2] In 1938, following the rise of the Nazis, Horovitz and his wife, Lotte, and their children moved to London.[3] Phaidon Verlag was re-established there as Phaidon Press.[1]

Their youngest child was the classical music promoter Hannah Horovitz.[3] Their son Joseph Horovitz was 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]
