I remember being at a Harold Wright recital in the late 70s, and marveling at all that was coming out of his clarinet while he sat almost perfectly still. Of course, he was a double lip player, so he sat and was restricted in his movements as his clarinet was usually held between his knees. Still, it was a good lesson in what you could do without the theatrics.
Performance practices change over time, and what I think we're seeing now is a trend toward theatricality. Nothing wrong, just different.
