Digitmovies present a reissue of Piero Piccioni's original soundtrack for La Citta' Prigioniera, originally released in 1962. Piccioni, one of the colossal names of international film music, composed this symphonic OST in the early '60s where gloomy and tense passages frequently recur to perfectly describe the dramatic situation in Athens during the Second World War. The author alternates a melancholic love theme that timidly emerges to contrast with suspense music and exciting battle pieces, all enriched with Greek folk music. Originally C.A.M. released a vinyl LP containing fifteen tracks in mono and an EP single with two tracks in mono. In 1991, the same material was re-released for the first time on CD in the series C.A.M.'s Soundtrack Encyclopedia with audio filtered in Dolby Surround. For Digitmovies' CD, the label was able to use a first-generation master tape with the LP recording along with the mono master tapes from the original recording session, discovering almost forty minutes of previously unreleased material, all specially restored.
