The composer on stage: Vince DiCola performing his own Rocky IV music live — a world premiere, captured on CD.
In September 2019, Vince took the stage at the Auditorio de Tenerife for the 13th FIMUCITÉ (Tenerife International Film Music Festival) as part of the "Champions of the Silver Screen" concert — to premiere a brand-new symphonic rock suite built from his legendary 1985 score. Vince played keyboards himself, joined by the CPMTFE-CSMC Fimucité Youth Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Diego Navarro, in a new arrangement by Leigh Phillips. The audience response that night was something extraordinary — and this recording preserves it.
Three tracks, twenty minutes, pure adrenaline: the iconic "Training Montage", the fan-favorite "Heart's On Fire" — for the first time ever including the "Up The Mountain" instrumental break, exactly where it belongs — and the mighty "War".
This limited-edition CD (only 500 copies worldwide) comes from Vince's personal remaining stock.
