Very irritating background music

I cannot understand the necessity to put some irritating music behind the spoken words. It completely takes away the pleasure of listening.

what is this music over the top of the narrator?

What an absolute abortion. the narrative is stunted and the music over the top of his reading is distracting and just bizarre. I just couldn't listen. I wish I could get my money back. honestly Freud is so good and this is an excellent book, but it has been ruined !
