I like the performance, but the fast notes are slower relative to the tempo. Although I know that bringing up the prevailing beat, then borrowing from the previous beat for the smallest notes will give more energy to the piece, on some level I can't do it. I think it is an interesting technique, and very presuasive, and it kind of has become a standard even for solo music on the lute and harpsichord. To be fair, I have also a video where the fast notes are played strictly in time, and they are so fast you can barely hear them. I'd be interested to hear what people think so I'll dig that up. When you hear it in tempo it is scary. Maybe slowing down the fast notes is the way to go, just for clarity.
