Professor Ian Tracey plays 'Adagio' from Tomaso Albinoni on the Johannus Ecclesia D-47

Professor Ian Tracey plays the Johannus Ecclesia D-47 at the Parish Church of St. Stephen, Whelley, Wigan, UK.
All too often, a church is forced to purchase an organ designed for home use, and usually for budgetary reasons. Unfortunately, these organs are designed for intimate environments and don't have the power to adequately support congregational singing.
Johannus designers and engineers have found a solution for this situation. The Ecclesia begins its life as a basic package at a very accessible price; an affordable, state-of-the-art instrument with enough power to fill virtually any room. Then, you can customize the organ to suit your individual needs and budget.
Professional church organ
The Ecclesia has everything a church organist should be able to expect. The Ecclesia is a state-of-the-art 3-manual organ with 56 voices, lighted drawknobs and 14 external loudspeakers.

As a organist, I find this adagio simple stirs the heart. Thank you .

A tender and noble piece, rich in cosmic resonance. Perfect for celebrating now, and at the close of my life. :)

This is very good sound....Wonderful Johannus..Very nice piece....

Liked every bit of it. I have a Johannus 350 and obviously this instrument calls you to play the adagio. However, I feel and think that you have selected beautiful sound and performed it beautifully and I was touched in every note. A lot of sensitivity and respect for each note. Really beautiful, I must learn how to play it like you. Just great, bravo!!! Thank you!!!

I like the tempo. Too slow and it's comatose. The piece is a wondering reflection upon a great loss, with periods of anger, and then summoning courage and resolve to face it and overcome it. The tempo is best as if it matches one taking a slow walk in contemplation. It is the greatest bittersweet musical expression of grief in the musical literature.

Love the sound. I had the fortune to have a 3 manual Johannus to play the years I was head-organist/choirmaster at a Large Episcoplal Church in the 1980"s as well as doing a few concerts. Thanks for posting. Brings back fond memories.

These must be very fine organs because an organist of Ian Tracey's stature would not be playing it otherwise. It's a treat to see and hear him play anywhere.

Bravo Maestro 👍🎹👍

Enjoyable indeed. Thank you.

The tempo matches the instrument and its location perfectly. Ian Tracey knows his stuff. He wouldn't/couldn't do it like this at the Willis in Liverpool Cathedral.

This sound amazing. :)

I think the playing technique and timing and use of registrations is excellent, but just a little bit to quickly indeed. Also have a listen at the video from Xaver Varnus on this song (just youtube -> xaver adagio). It's such a beautiful music indeed :) Well done. I can only play the intro bit, someday i'll be able to play the whole lot hopefully :))

Played slightly too fast for me. But still an absolutely amazing organ and piece of music.

Excellent registrations, but played too fast for me. Very good sound.
