This is getting funny, unless you're being serious. Then I have to tell you that the more times you play it with ANY Recording, helps you to play it in ANY Orchestra. In the last year, I worked with 5 different Orchestras that I can remember. A 6th I had to turn down a job because I was booked already. I have played some of the same pieces with different Orchestras and having played it before with ANY Orchestra (or recording) is better then just playing it at home with a metronome. Do as you like Tom. I am only sharing my actual experiences here, and not just making opinions.
That's all I have to say about that
