(firstly, sorry for my bad english)
hello,
i'm searching for a commented recording of the first movement of beethoven's fifth symphony.

i had it four or five years ago, and it's very special for me, because it was the first time i heard the 5th sympony when i had 14 or 13 years...
also, i think it's very rare because it was a commented version: there were two guys commenting everything that happened while the orchestra (i think it was new york's) played the music.... those guys said: "now, the violins play", but interestingly, like narrating a baseball match. i don't remember anything especific of the commments except for a moment when a horn has a big error and the two guys note it.

also, at the very start, like a minute or so, other man says a lot of things about beethoven or about "another approach to classical music" (i bet he means his two comrades") and very specifically, i remember that he had a cup of water (i remember hearing thw water being poured out....) and else.

I believe this is what you are searching for -- it is actually a comedy album, but it features a performance of Beethovens' 5th Symphony being annoucned as if it were a baseball game. (Track #2 on the album) One of my favorites

It is not rare, but quite available, I believe.
