A recent message in the discussion group rec.music.classical
(http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=c332f806.0207110815.25fe7bf0%40posting.google.com)
describes that this recording has had Bernstein's narrative for
Carnival of the Animals removed, giving you the opportunity to listen
to the music without comments (or even read the narrative yourself).
The recording is not readily available in most online music shops.
