Here are a piano concerto and a fantasy by Thalberg. Not that hearing them gives any insights to his ethnic heritage. Thalberg’s mother’s name was Stein, according to the bio, which could be Jewish. Otherwise I didn’t see any clues. It must have been a liberal age, since the different composers formed friendships and working relationships regardless of religion. Liszt and Mendelssohn, for example.

The Wikipedia article implied that Thalberg was really the son of the Prinz and Countess, rather than Mr. Thalberg and Ms. Stein, the parents of record.
