I understand what you mean, thanks for the example. The second example is 
more fashionable and "baroque" as the latest tendencies to play are, anyway 
in my opinion Bartoli's tecnique is far more advanced ( apart from the 
pitch) , as Mathias says, and she has more personality , at least in this 
particular piece. I don't think this is much too OT, because there are some 
lute players who can't be light when playing coloraturas. The notes are not 
very clear and separate from one another ( --> Comparato) , and this is lack 
of tecnique. I remember Aldo Minella, my teacher when I was studying guitar, 
who was never satisfied with the fast notes because in his opinon they were 
either too "staccate" or not clear enough ( when they were "legate"), so he 
wanted both, clear notes played as from a flute. What is lacking in 
Accademia Montis Regalis example is playing at least one measure all 
together on the beat, especially on colorature, she is not with the rest of 
the instruments, and the instruments are never perfectly together. In il 
Giardino Armonico's example ( I'm not a fan of this group either) it's 
mostly the archlute which is not together with the other instruments, always 
a bit late. This is annoying to me.
