And she does play them well! Decades ago, when I did a lot of accompanying for flute players (including Frances Blaisdell's summer master classes), never a year went by when someone wasn't playing these works! What I like in Jasmine's performances are the extreme flexibility of tempo (something that Frances Blaisdell always encouraged in the pirces, especially the first) allied to expressive changes of dynamics and tone quality (which itself is also beautiful, as far as I can tell from uTube). And she of course avoids all the intonation pitfalls in these works. Brava!
However, boos and hisses to Jasmine for not identifying her excellent pianist! ;-)
As the photo below shows, Jasmine seems to have learned a lot from Yuja already! ;-)
