Of all the Italian symphonic prog groups, Celeste is maybe the one that relies most on ambiances, the most delicate. This multi instrumentalists quartet recorded two album in the mid-70's with their debut being the better-known. The very white cover (even if the inside gatefold illustration is more evocative) contrast heavily with the superb calm classically influenced music on the disc. The mood is very much romantic, pastoral and mellotron-ladden. Celeste does not sound like your typical Italian prog group, but in many ways, Principe Di Un Giorno is probably the album that comes closest to Harmonium's Si On Avait Besoin D'une Cinquième Saison.
