"Changi" is the story of six young Australian soldiers, their courage, mateship and survival in the harsh conditions of the Japanese prison of war camp during World War II.
According to series writer John Doyle, when he conceived "Changi", he wanted music that "ripped open the chest and grabbed the heart". That's exactly what Mario Millo has done on this extraordinary soundtrack, which not only reflects the "Changi" series but is a powerful emotional experience in its own right.
As well as Mario's evocative, orchestral score, the album features many songs from that era including 'Danny Boy', 'Over The Rainbow' and 'Top Hat, White Tie and Tails'.
