Post Description

Studio Album, released in 1975, Italy

Rock Progressivo Italiano.


Built on the nucleus of the three brothers Silvana, Massimo and Federico Idà, APOTEOSI plays symphonic progressive rock with many of the usual characteristics: piano, flute, beautiful melodies, and a tendency to sound like PFM at times. I think they sound a little like an Italian CAMEL with a female vocalist and more sophisticated compositions.

"Apoteosi" is a great album (the sound is like PFM) but the band is unknown to most people who like prog. An undiscovered Italian progressive gem a la PFM, GENFUOCO, CELESTE. Very cool. Essential at some point for fans of Italian symphonic for sure.
