Adagio in G minor for strings and organ is a piece composed by Remo Giazotto and first published in 1958. It was supposedly based on a fragment from a Sonata in G minor by Tomaso Albinoni purportedly found amongst the ruins of the old Saxon State Library, Dresden, after it was firebombed by the Allies during World War II. It is usually referred to as "Albinoni's Adagio", or "Adagio in G minor by Albinoni, arranged by Giazotto", but it is Giazotto's original work, and contains no Albinoni material. The Adagio is most commonly orchestrated for string ensemble and organ, or string ensemble alone.
The Adagio in G minor has achieved a level of fame such that it is commonly transcribed for other instruments, and used in popular culture, for example as background music for films (Gallipoli, 1981, which is set in 1915-€“1916 during the World War I battle of the same name) and television programs and in advertisements. The video game Rise of the Triad (1995) featured a version of the piece. I first heard this as a young boy as background music in the '70s sci-fi series Space 1999 (1975-77) in the episode "Dragons Domain". I don't know who sequenced this midi as they did an incredible job! I produced the audio in Nuendo using VST instruments. I created a video using images from the Hubble space telescope. Hope you enjoy it.

The quality of this MIDI sequence is actually so good that you'd think it's the real deal!

I believe this midi was actually a note by note transcription of this piece. Since the midi is being played by real samples of the actual instruments then you can say it is the real deal.

@midirules so you said that what had been usually labelled "Albinoni's Adagio" wasn't "Albinoni's Adagio" but Giazotto's instead? I'm a bit confused now!

The best rendition I've heard, and the info about Albinoni was fascinating.
