Beatles Music

Ultra Rare Trax Vol. 2 is a 1988 bootleg CD by The Beatles. This is the second set of Beatles music to be released as a bootleg CD, which at the time was considered revolutionary since it wasn't believed anyone outside of the recording industry could release compact discs, They were wrong. It features outtakes of songs in soundboard quality, which at the time was also unheard of. This was released by The Swingin' Pig, a "relative" of the Trademark Of Quality (TMOQ) label.

The Brasilian Tropical Orchestra originates from Sao Paolo and Rio de Janeiro regions of Brazil, and features some of Brazil's finest musicians. This particular 20 track album of The Beatles' music arranged and played in a Bossa Nova style is a fabulous example of The Orchestra's work.

This unique recording couples the music of two major 20th-century composers, and includes the world premiere on disc of Riley's "The Heaven Ladder, Book 7," commissioned by Cheng-Cochran and written in 1994. California-based pianist Gloria Cheng has become a favoured collaborator with some of the most demanding of today's composer/conductors, including Pierre Boulez, Essa-Pekka Salonen and Oliver Knussen, for her renditions of thorny 20th century scores. "The multifarious pulsings of Adams's Phrygian Gates (all 26 minutes of it) are more palatable here than on some rival versions, and the relatively brief China Gates (just five minutes) are well worth visiting. Terry Riley's pieces are more varied in colour and rhythm, less obviously 'minimalist', than you might have expected, with the worlds of jazz remaining well within earshot. Gloria Cheng-Cochran seems fully absorbed in the tasks to hand, and the sound is superb." (Gramophone Magazine).
