One cannot appreciate an orchestra one piece at a time. It is an interesting acedemic exercise but there are good reasons that such pieces are still recorded in one room, in one grand take. Digital cannot mimic the communication and timing between instruments playing in the same room.

I appreciate your argument of the whole vs sum, but might it also be more expensive? Even if each member played perfectly in a single take, you'd need lots more recording time; member*lengthOfPiece instead of just lengthOfPiece

But that is how it is done. One big room with potentially dozens of mics covering the orchestra. I ask this: if each records individually, why bother with a conductor? That job cannot be replaced by a blinking light.
