Indeed - Gatti was taken ill and Rozhdestvensky stepped into the breach [not exactly at the last minute, though]. When you see your recording, you'll probably be fairly impressed by how Ogrintchouk keeps the whole thing together...

Enough...as for Mel's question - as long as you don't use a mega hard reed and hence damage your embrouchure/develop bad support, there's no reason to not work on the Strauss [in chunks, of course], I would suggest.

And take Chris P's and my advice and have a listen to Holliger playing it - mind blowing.
