Dear safranim, I have been trying to identify a Max(?) Rosenthal who wrote some Jewish liturgical choral music. Some of his compositions appear in the collection of the conductor and musicologist Eric Mandell. Date of activity would be late 19th century-early 20th century. The handwriting is fairly difficult to decipher, and it might also be Mar.(?), Mr.(?). One of the compositions is dated 1904.
I found the above reference in a record for an archive held by the National Library/Central Archives of the Jewish people. I am fairly certain that the composer of the synagogue of the compositions that I have seen are not by the well-known composer Mortiz Rosenthal. If any of you have any ideas who the above Rabbi/composer might be I would be most appreciative to know. Thank you in advance. Sincerely, Heidi Lerner Heidi G.
