Here's Barenboim conducting the Ninth with no score. All from memory. You can also see some of the parts on the stand. Yu can see how much they can see at once.
The 9th
I have a million questions to ask right now, but I'll stick with one that I probably can't Google. In that video, everyone but the conductor looks like they're in their 20s. Are they all from some college? Is it the best musical college on the planet?

I had to look them up. It is the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, created by Barenboim. It seems to be a program for young musicians from the Middle East, North-Africa and Spain. I don't see an age requirement but it does say it is for young musicians. I suspect there is a rigorous audition process to get in. They do play well.
