Come in those with finely tuned ears

Does this lady have one of the sweetest sounding and best tuned instruments that exist, or is post processing doing it great favours?

Your thoughts, please.

I think it's both. An MM register with very mild tremolo (not very wet as often used in this music), reverb and additional backing tracks... it all helps to create a sweet sound.
(I only listened to part of one song. The link leads to a page with an uninteresting trailer without accordion.)

I checked out a couple of clips but each is different,
a lot is playback over a different recording

Indifferent is playback front to back
La Banquet looks like a live recording but is not, but not much editing to the sound, there is the glockenspiel which seems edited in

Autumn Leaves seems a live recording which is very nice indeed

It sounds heavily dubbed and edited to me but who cares? The end result is excellent.

Light post processing, and a great mic, is doing some favors, but I think the most favors are done by the performer just having very excellent expression and phrasing.

Yep, we had a bandoneon clip recently that was quite airbrushed and also had lots of montage editing that glossed over phrase breaks. But . . . it was still super-duper lovely.

Well processed, but a light tremelo is a much better companion to a piano than if it was heavier. Showing a little leg NEVER hurts... lol
