Review by JJ April 19, 2009 (2 of 3 found this review helpful)
Performance:   Sonics:    
Composed in 1763 to commemorate the wedding of Anton Esterhazy, who was the oldest son of Prince Nikolaus and Maria Theresa Erdody, Acide is a kind of Italian opera presented in the form of a “theatrical celebration.” This made-for-the-event work is here proposed in the original 1793 version but with additions added by the composer in 1773, that is ten years later, for a new production that never came about. This recording is also reason to celebrate, for one is surprised by how fresh it is. Haydn’s music possesses the most pertinent of evocative force in which poetry and pleasure wed a lively and spontaneous musical ensemble. The vocal interpretation as a whole must also be lauded, and Manfred Huss and his orchestra offer more than an hour of unending magic. Insofar as the recording itself, both in stereo and in multicanal, it is just as remarkable, and special mention must be made of the perfect balance between the voices and orchestra. In short, an irresistible Super Audio CD.
