Especially the production values.

Not to mention voice-leading, phrasing, precision, clarity, dynamics, etc.. She's a major talent!

She's majorly talented for sure, though it would be nice to hear her in a more intimate, less choreographed setting. I think it would enhance her overall musical artistry even more.

Very nice. Too much reverb takes away from it some though.

Here's a video in which the "production values/film edits" are dialled back. There are no costume changes or elaborate setting shifts to distract the listener/viewer in this one. There are, however; several illustrations of Thu Le applying consistent right hand articulation to provide motivic unity. This is an often overlooked aspect of Renaissance and Baroque music. I'm also impressed by how this amazing young woman achieves the perfect balance between musicality and virtuosity. You can also see Thu Le just having fun playing music on her FaceBook page.

A far clearer display. Hard to stay focussed during the first one.

Much better, I agree. Her talent speaks for itself.
Wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

What is voice leading? I'm sorry if I shouldn't be straying from the original post, but I'm new to classical guitar and this site.

Second video is much better - she plays with great expression. A treat to listen to!

Voice leading (or part writing) is the linear progression of individual melodic lines (voices or parts) and their interaction with one another to create harmonies, typically in accordance with the principles of common-practice harmony and counterpoint.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_leading

The only other clarification I would add is that voice leading involves maintaining the integrity of notes as voices within chords when changing to a different chord. Think smooth, connected or uninterrupted chord changes.
I hope this helps.
