One issue is that in 99% of classical music (with the exception of many contemporary music ensemble pieces and maybe the Bolero) musicians do *not* go along with a strict click track. Therefore usually a video of a conductor will musically be more adequate. Of course having many musicians perform against that video without hearing others will usually not result in really synchronized playing. One possibility might be having one instrument play along with the conductor video, then have the next musician play along that video while listening to the first recording and so on. That might work out to produce a decent recording (with unreasonable amounts of technical trickery), but I have to second Ralf in saying this is not really playing together. "Making music together" (but not at the same time) might capture the idea better ...
