@SuperWipiti Many fine pianists (e.g. Mitsuko Uchida) play Mozart very successfully without a conductor! It is up to them to inspire them and convince to follow their interpretation. Standardised interpretation sounds very boring!
@StevenOBrienComposer I would expect a conductor to do more than you have suggested (bring his own interpretation etc.), but Mozart concertos are often performed without a conductor (as happened in Mozart's time) very successfully. A good orchestra with a good pianist/conductor (e.g. Daniel Barenboim) will sound just as good.
@onder1188 An orchestra is composed by a large number of musicians. They need someone who brings a standardized interpretation of the piece (as StevenOBrienComposer perfectly said) and bring the cohesion necessary to execute it. It would be pretty tough without a conductor.
@onder1188 The magic happens in the rehearsals. The conductor gives all the players a standardized interpretation of the piece so that they all play together seamlessly. The conductor will (hopefully) know the score very well and study it very closely. The conductor also cues instruments in after rests. They also beat time, of course. A good orchestra could technically work without a conductor, but it wouldn't sound as good.
@onder1188 It is not a stick it is a baton. It is used to keep tempo and see beats. There are certain area's were the baton is and it a different beat of a meaure.
I just love this Mannheim-like concerto!

The stick. The conductor is there not simply to keep the pace... and give signals to start or end.
Yes, I stick would be enough for that! The conductor is there so that we hear the beautiful sound
that we hear. Of course, he would not be able to do that without the impressive cast:
The wonderful pianist,. Mrs. Uehara and the superb Wiener Symphinker Orchestra...
