It's not truncated so much as nerfed. Complex time signatures turned into 4/4, dissonances (which were hardly extreme) removed, etc. But even nerfed, it is still a pretty cool piece.
That's good to know. I have the Ancerl recording. The original by Mackerras is on Chandos.
 
Can anyone please clarify if the recording on Decca conducted by Jiří Bělohlávek is the original version - I believe it is 'based' on the version used at the works premiere in 1927.
The revised version dates from 1929 so the Decca recording includes the earlier version.
