      Well I am the weirdo with an opinion here BUT: Would be weird he wouldn't be. The Conductor is responsible for keeping the orchestra together AND getting the emotions he wants out of theire play. All these, to the not classical trained eye weird looking gestures and movements translate directly into some sort of different play in each musician. Well and the Dies Irae requires a lot of intense emotion

      ​@@freschi9934 hi, classical musician here! in general, professional orchestras kind of conduct themselves, and the musicians mostly only rely on the conductor for special cues (starting the music, in pauses, a soloist's entrance, etc.). a BIG part of a conductor's job is being showy for the audience, and you can really see that here. not undermining his actual conducting either, it's super important, and he definitely put a lot of work into it to make it super emotional. i'd say that the conductor is putting a ton of emotion in both because of the piece/players and because of the stage aspect of it all.
