Camille Saint-Saëns : Piano Concerto No. 2

The Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor, Op. 22 by Camille Saint-Saëns was composed in 1868 and is Saint-Saëns' most popular piano concerto. It was dedicated to Madame A. de Villers. At the première on 13 May the composer was the soloist and Anton Rubinstein conducted the orchestra. The capricious changes in style provoked Zygmunt Stojowski to quip that it "begins with Bach and ends with Offenbach".
