Why is the bassoon always so comical? They are also often imaginative.... I like that!
Yes, choreography is different than fidgeting. Heinz Holliger is not my favourite, but I do admire his technique, including how he uses waving in some attempt to use geometry and acoustics to amplify dynamics.
Also, it seems Karlos Kleiber and some other of the light-hearted conductors know that when they get on stage, their work is essentially over, and use their gesticulation to lead the audience visually (e.g. New-Years concerts) in what is otherwise a dead-boring (visual) display.... thought the sound display be awesome.
Myself, I don't have the balance, I don't use waving right in the least. When I move, its all a matter of my muscles pulling the wrong way because of fibromyalgia. Also, I just can't dance. I believe that to be a gap in my personal make-up and I believe it could be beneficial to my sound.
But again, sound first and everything to help the projection, not the converse.
