General rule of thumb is that where there is expression which changes the physics of the pitch source or timbre source, synthesis does not measure up to the task very well. This is why there are great syntheses of piano and electric piano and vibes and xylophone and harp and other pitched resonant instruments but not so much for brass and strings and voice where modulation of pitch and timbre is part of the regular sond of the instrument.
