Stravinsky question

[Mr Peabody]

OK, you will tell I'm still a bit of a Classical novice

I heard the piece of Stravinsky's, A Soldier's Tale on my Chesky audition disc, so I wanted to maybe get a recording of the entire suite. My question, do all the recordings have the vocal narrative & play included, or is there such a thing as just the instrumental?

The first version I played is all instrumental. It is conducted by Robert Mandel and sold by High Definition Tape Transfers. I have the quite spectacular sounding 192/24 download. Amazingly the recording is from 1956. HDTT has it in different formats.
