What do people think of these very muscular, Iberian-tinged interpretations?

I (being among the people) like it! Very muscular. A couple years ago, I listened to Scott Ross play all 555 on harpsichord maybe 20 10+ times each (555*10+=5550+). Her lack of dynamics in 1st and 3rd (pedal to the metal approach) suits me well since my ear is accustomed to no dynamics of the harpsichord. Hopefully, she would also pick some slower and softer sonatas in recital.
