Approach to New Music

In a thread about the most important advance in clarinet design, alseg wrote:

“Most significant?
The phonograph record....That way clarinetists had easy aural access to the playing of other musicians.”

A conductor, of one of the bands I play in, frequently refers to recordings of the music we play.

My question is what do you think is the best approach to playing music you’ve not heard? Do you use recordings to influence your playing, or do you interpret the sheet music?

Thanks.
