Audacity can't split a mixed performance into individual voices, instruments or sounds.

You're talking about editing the raw waveform, a very tricky business, maybe impossible in this case though I sympathize with your purpose. Never done it myself, except for clipping out pops especially between recorded sections. Try asking your question at audio pro forums:

https://recording.org/

https://soundforums.net/community/

You can find others with a google search.

If you want, post a sample of the recording with the talking and I'll have a go at it. I do this stuff fairly often so I have a few tricks up my sleeve. No guarantees, though.
