Ian Tracey (organ)About
Ian Tracey is well established as one of the leading exponents of French organ music. He studied in Paris with Isoir, and received many lessons from Langlais, a pupil and successor of Franck at St Clotilde. He comments that the Willis organ is very French in its constitution; it has forty-seven reeds which, combined with its generous acoustic, makes it very suitable for the performance of this type of repertoire.
On this disc Ian Tracey aims to bring fresh insights to works by some of the greatest French masters of the instrument, and offers authoritative and distinguished interpretations that centre on the impressive Grand Pièce symphonique by Franck.
Amongst the other works are Widor’s Organ Symphony No. 4, Saint-Saëns’s Allegro giocoso from the Sept Improvisations and Tournemire’s Improvisation sur le ‘Te Deum’, reconstructed by Duruflé.
In 2006 the University of Liverpool conferred upon Ian Tracey the degree of Doctor of Music, in recognition of his long and distinguished service to music in Liverpool and of his national and international reputation as a musician.
