I remember her answering this in an interview included on one of the tape trees. If I remember correctly (now on thin ice, as it has been a very long time), it is computer generated (VG-8?) and she felt that it was the "same as" actually playing the oboe. I recall feeling that it was disrespectful to those who had put in the many long hours it takes to learn to play that instrument - but then she has that celebrated arrogance, doesn't she?
