Humming Pianists? but anyway... +1 and actually David's link to that chap playing the Bandoneón was rather ridiculous (for me) to 'watch' even if the music was very well played - I had to stop watching and just listen to the music his twitching was so distracting. However...there is (was) something rather compelling watching the (very young) Royal Academy Soloists play Shostakovich's Op110a recently. Sat in the front row I had a great view of the players struggling/fighting/enjoying/anticipating/worrying along with the interplay between the principle violin player and the rest of the strings, there was much twitching and jostling and body movement (they were standing while playing) the music while not incidental, was just a (very large) part of the whole. I know the piece very well, I've heard it played 'more accomplishedly (?)' both on recorded music and live, but this was probably one of the most enjoyable performance I have seen of it that I doubt a set of Speakers or 'robotic' performers on stage would give quite the same experience.
