Robert Fürstenthal (27 June 1920 – 16 November 2016) is a composer of Austrian origin. Born into a Jewish family in Vienna, he demonstrated his taste for music early and practiced the piano, but had no academic training due to the Nazi's control of music institutions. Fürstenthal left Vienna for London in 1939, then settled in San Francisco in 1940. He enlisted in the US Army and from 1942 to 1945 served in an intelligence division in Europe. Fürstenthal composed 160 lieder on German and English poems, and about forty chamber works. His style was influenced by Richard Strauss, Hugo Wolf and Gustav Mahler.

The Rossetti Ensemble was created in 2018 based on long-standing collaborations between pianist John Lenehan, violinist Sara Trickey, violist Sarah-Jane Bradley and cellist Tim Lowe. In addition to the standard piano quartet repertoire, the group is flexible, working with other high profile instrumentalists and singers to produce imaginative and varied programmes. Its performance of transcription of Ravel's Tombeau de Couperin for oboe and piano quartet has been particularly well received, and future projects include an exciting mix of Bach and Piazzolla. The group's first CDs was issued by Toccata Classics.
