All modern pipe organs in churches perform 1/2 tone higher than written. That is, the simplistic sequence of notes in this particular sample has been "composed" and written by its author (whoever he happens to be) in a d-minor key, which would be very common in any age. Yours is a good example of how a wrong theory is built up on a false premise (and immediately propped up by diploma-waving and special ability claim). Also, the recording, as played through my computer speakers, isn't exactly in e-flat minor, either, it's closer to e-minor by at least 1/3 of the tone. And there goes your wife's perfect pitch - if one can define a tonality at all, listening to an mp3 clip through an Internet connection.
