Presumably, Execute expects you to pass a VT_I4 | VT_BYREF so that it
can store the value in the reference.  If this were for a CLR API,
you'd pass an int reference by using a variable of type
clr.Reference[int](). I don't know that this will work for COM, but I
assume that it would:

ra = clr.Reference[int]()
self.cmd.Execute(ra)
recordCount = ra.Value
