The Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor, Op.
 22 by Camille Saint-Saëns, was composed in 1868 and is probably Saint-Saëns' most popular piano concerto.
 It was dedicated to Madame A. de Villers née de Haber.
 At the première, the composer was the soloist and Anton Rubinstein conducted the orchestra.
 Saint-Saëns wrote the concerto in three weeks, and had very little time to prepare for the première; consequently, the piece was not initially successful.
 The capricious changes in style provoked Zygmunt Stojowski to quip that it "begins with Bach and ends with Offenbach."
Samuel Osborne Barber II (March 9, 1910 – January 23, 1981) was an American composer of orchestral, opera, choral, and piano music.
 He is one of the most celebrated composers of the 20th century: music critic Donal Henahan stated that "Probably no other American composer has ever enjoyed such early, such persistent and such long-lasting acclaim."
The Oratorio de Noël, Opus 12, by Camille Saint-Saëns, also known as Christmas Oratorio, is a cantata-like work scored for soloists, chorus, strings and harp.
 While an organist at Madeleine, Saint-Saëns wrote the oratorio in less than a fortnight, completing it ten days before its premiere on Christmas 1858.
 The vocal score of this oratorio was prepared later by the composer and organist Eugene Gigout, a colleague of Saint-Saëns.
Charles-Camille Saint-Saëns (] , traditionally pronounced ] in French; (9 October 183516 December 1921) was a French composer, organist, conductor and pianist of the Romantic era.
 His best-known works include Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso (1863), the Second Piano Concerto (1868), the First Cello Concerto (1872), "Danse macabre" (1874), the opera "Samson and Delilah" (1877), the Third Violin Concerto (1880), the Third ("Organ") Symphony (1886) and "The Carnival of the Animals" (1886).
Camille Saint-Saëns composed his Cello Concerto No. 1 in A minor, Op.
 33 in 1872, when the composer was 37 years old.
 He wrote this work for the Belgian cellist, viola de gamba player and instrument maker Auguste Tolbecque.
 Tolbecque was part of a distinguished family of musicians closely associated with the Société des Concerts du Conservatoire, France’s leading concert society.
 The concerto was first performed on January 19, 1873 at the Paris conservatoire concert with Tolbecque as soloist.
 This was considered a mark of Saint-Saëns' growing acceptance by the French musical establishment.
The Piano Concerto No. 3 in E flat major, Op.
 29 by Camille Saint-Saëns, was composed in 1869.
 The concerto is written in 3 movements.
 When the concerto was first performed by Saint-Saëns himself at the Leipzig Gewandhaus in 1869 it was not well received, possibly because of its harmonic experimentation.
 Saint-Saëns's third concerto is not as often performed as his famous second concerto, or the fourth or fifth concertos, but it is still an important addition to the piano concerto repertoire.
 It was dedicated to Élie-Miriam Delaborde, a pianist who is believed to have been the natural son of Charles-Valentin Alkan.
Déjanire is an opera (tragédie lyrique) in 4 acts composed by Camille Saint-Saëns to a libretto in French by Louis Gallet and Camille Saint-Saëns.
 The last of Saint-Saëns' operas, it premiered on 14 March 1911 at the Théâtre de Monte-Carlo.
 One of the opera's central characters, Hercule (Hercules), had been the subject of two earlier symphonic poems by Saint-Saëns – "Le Rouet d'Omphale" (1872) and "La Jeunesse d'Hercule" (1877).
 The story is based on "The Trachiniae" by Sophocles (also the source for Handel's opera "Hercules").

Erik Ole Bye (20 March 1883 – 17 May 1953) was a Norwegian operatic baritone.
 He studied singing with Morgenstierne in Oslo, zur Muhlen in London and R. Willani in Paris.
 He made his professional opera debut in 1913 at the National Theatre, Oslo as Don Basilio in Gioachino Rossini's "The Barber of Seville".
 From 1914-1917 he was a member of the Breslau Opera House; making his debut there as Amonasro in Giuseppe Verdi's "Aida".
 In 1917 he sang with the Opéra-Comique in Paris.
 In November 1918 he sang the role of the High Priest in Camille Saint-Saëns's "Samson et Dalila" for the opening of the new opera house in Oslo.
 From 1921-1932 he was primarily active with opera companies and orchestras in North America.
 He returned to Norway in 1932 where he continued to perform and worked as a businessman.
 He made recordings for Columbia Records, His Master's Voice, and the Victor Talking Machine Company.
 His son, Erik Bye, was a prominent Norwegian journalist.
Hélène is a poème lyrique or opera in one act by composer Camille Saint-Saëns.
 It is the first opera for which Saint-Saëns wrote his own French libretto, which is based on the classic story of Helen of Troy and Paris from Greek mythology.
 The opera premiered at the Opéra de Monte-Carlo in Monaco on 18 February 1904.
 Moderately successful, the opera enjoyed a handful of revivals up through 1919, after which it fell out of the performance repertoire.
 The work was resurrected in 2008 for its world premiere recording by the Australian music label "Melba".
