I don't know the answer, all I would say is this: don't go rushing to the AFM musicians lists in the booklets to find out because, of course, there's no guarantee all the players listed were in the orchestra at the same time.
Some of them may have played on some sessions while others played on other sessions.
I'm not sure you can entirely tell by listening either, because (I think) the engineering, mixing and mastering could make an orchestra seem bigger or smaller than it is.
Cheers

Didnt BTTF have the biggest orchestra up to that point? I mean sounds unlikely, but...

If it's just an orchestra, and no choir, then that's really bog. But like was mentioned above. These 200 might not have all played on the same sessions on the same time.

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread--I like reading about orchestras!--but wasn't Conan the Barbarian recorded with two orchestras? Members of The Orchestra and Chorus of St. Cecilia and The Radio Symphony of Rome?
...When I listen to that score, it sounds huge--like it was recorded outside in a giant valley between two snow capped mountains with hundreds of players.

With the chorus involved, The Hallelujah Trail (Elmer Bernstein, 1966).
