Yes I have seen a number of performances where the player was restrained and in control: Piatorgorsky, live, videos of the great English woman cellist and Pablo Casals who was perfect in every way.

I attended live performances of Marion Anderson who sang with her eyes closed, her hands clasped quietly at waist level, yet able to enthrall and thrill the audience!

I attended live performances of Heiftz who hardly moved anything but his bow arm and left hand. He had the entire audience almost moaning in delight. He didnt seem to break a sweat, although he really did, wiping his brow a couple of times.

Actually it may be that video (close ups etc.) is unfair to modern performers. I have a video of the Ring where Seigfried, close up, drools a lot and once let fly with a lunger upstage. So who knows?
