Not convinced. But, well, there's no need to, because we'll never know, anyway, how, and if at all, lutenists of old, viewed nativeness, nature, genius, remoteness, emotionalism and so on, unless they have explicitly written about those topics. And they haven't, as far as I'm aware. And I hasten to add that Playing music by the Bayreuth pack in an empfindsam manner, is entirely okay with me. But that's a matter of our modern approach IMO.
