Most recordings (or any worth their salt) would have a copy of the libretto issued with the album or CD. Whether the libretto would include just the sung portions (Sing) or include the spoken parts (Spiel) is an issue that one can only resolve by looking at each libretto in turn. Any good library should have this work available for their patrons. There's also the option of tracking down a full or piano-vocal score of the work too. Mark K. Ehlert
