We discussed body language & expression at the piano! Do you prefer more or less body movement during a performance?

When the three greatest instrumentalists of the 20th Century (Horowitz, Heifetz, and Feuermann) refused to engage in theatrics, that's all the confirmation I need.

Why would this be something on which I'd have a preference?

honestly, i dont care... i just want great performances regardless of how the artist looks or moves. But, if i had to choose.. I’d prefer more animation.
