Subj: I'm in deep bass clarinet trouble: HELP!!

Has anyone out there ever played a contemporary work by S. Gubaidulina
for cello and orchestra entitled "Und: Das Fest ist in vollem Gang"
(which means "And the festival is in full progress")?

It has a bass clarinet part that contains the solo from hell and I
want to find out from anyone who has played it, the extent of difficulties
that derive from the solo. Frankly, it scares the hell out of me. I
checked the score and it appears to be a long duet between the solo cello
and the bass clarinet.

Anyone know this work?
