I think I know the reason for this:
I forgot the guy's name; but someone stipulated that if you give
directions to the orchestra at the time they are to happen (that is, giving
crescendos when they should be starting, giving downbeats at the moment they
occur), you are not DIRECTING what you WANT the orchestra to do, merely
ILLUSTRATING what they are already doing. By give your directions before
they actually occur, you are truly showing the orchestra what you want them
to do. Yes, Masur does conduct like this.
