Uh, you never heard of the concept of an "actor" or "play", I suppose?
Emotions don't need to exist at the sender's side in order to be
conveyed to a receiver.
And anyway, for most of the music I hear, I am more interested in the
emotions of the composer rather than the performer.
There is hardly something more aggravating than a romanticizing
performer distracting from good Bach, for example.
