I've never learned to play an instrument myself - only a dozen piano lessons and a year of music theory - proving zero talent despite desire.
When watching this and other similar orchestra w/keyboard videos I can't help notice the pianist plays from memory and manages to keep time with the orchestra without relying on the conductor while the orchestra members each keep their music sheets moving in front of them with eyes intermittently upon the conductor.

I am not sure about this, but I think in the case of a Concerto written for a Soloist, it is the job of the Conductor to follow the lead of the Soloist.
