of salt, Astaroth (Stanley Baker), Shuah (Rossana Podestà), Tamara (Scilla Gabel) and other characters interpreted by illustrious names of the Italian Cinema: Ishmael (Giacomo Rossi-Stuart), Melchior (Rik Battaglia), the Captain (Anthony Steffen), Lieutenant (Gabriele Tinti), Arlok (Mimmo Palmara), Maleb (Claudia Mori) and the dancer twins (Hellen & Alice Kessler). Enormous scenery both of interiors and exteriors of the colossal cities, exotic locations, including the special effects for the destruction of the sinner cities by divine hand: all this realization was done following the approved rules of the Hollywodian cinema. Rumoured is that originally composer Dimitri Tiomkin was called, but he was not available that time because of health problems and therefore he had been replaced by Miklós Rózsa to compose and conduct an original symphonic score for orchestra and choir to cover two third parts of the 155 minute movie. The score was recorded in the studio “A” of RCA in Rome in June 1962. Rózsa has always been a researcher specialized in world music history.
In the case of “Sodom and Gomorrah” he had performed deep research into Yemeni and Babylonian Jewish music so as to create the dances and prayer songs for choir in their original language. Thence the orchestral themes of pure fantasy are combined with motifs that have antique origins. For what concerns the OST discography of “Sodom and Gomorrah”, this score has been issued on 33 rpm long-playing record by RCA in different countries all over the world (Usa: Rca Victor LSO 1076 – Spain: Rca Cinematres NL 43755 – Japan: Rca CR 10023 – Usa: Citadel CT MR 1, album produced by composer Rózsa-expert Tony Thomas, containing six selections coupled with the score from 1968 movie “The power”). The first CD release of this OST in mono sound was issued on Cambria CD 1050 then the original American LP was reissued on the CD BMG special products/collectables COL-CD-6480 (DRCI-2634) in stereo. The first complete and stereo version was issued in 1986 on a double LP set (Legend DLD 1-2). The realization of our double CD Box de-luxe edition was made possible – once again – thanks to the generous help of C.A.M. authorizing this reissue (with a total playing time of 111’38”) of this memorable OST including the 6 rare bonus tracks discovered on the original session master tapes: 5 alternative choral pieces and a Jewish dance piece that were recorded during the 1962 session but not used in the final version of the movie. Despite careful digital restoration and remastering some anomalies pre-existing on the original sources remain.
