		Saint-Saëns dedicated it to Pauline Viardot, who organized a private performance of the music from Act II at her house in Paris, with Saint-Saëns at the piano, in the vain hope of interesting the director of the Opéra, though without avail.

		Samson is, along with Semele, the only Handel oratorio to have gotten a toe-hold in the modern operatic repertory.
		The seduction-and-destruction story of Samson and Delilah is certainly dramatic; the libretto is better than many Handel had to work with.
		How odd that it took until 1997 for Samson to get a period-instrument recording--fortunately, Harry Christophers's account was worth the wait, energetic and musical enough to hold attention throughout the oratorio's three and a half hours.
