Monday, May 31, 2021SmartCase is LaunchedIntroducing the @smartcase.flute that I’ve been working on since 2017. In short, I wanted to eliminate some of the discomforts of the normal flute cases which first of all, were too long for most bags that I had to carry an extra flute bag (or a huge backpack to fit it in) when travelling, and of course also wanted to have something far more secure and lighter as well. (And later I also wanted get rid of velvets so there are less dusts as possible between keypads-> better sound😎!)

July 31, 2020Will You Still Choose Music? Yes.For many of us musicians, this is not only just a difficult time but also a crucial time to think about what to put most values in life, and also sooner or later you will realize clearly how much music really means to you. Is music an absolute necessity for our lives? And why? Would you still want be a musician when there is no concert? My answer is always yes. Because I love it so much regardless of any outcome. We're not playing music to show how well we're able with the instrument or simply to make a living, but we play to share something very beautiful, intimate and touching. It's our vocation. And it's like dialogues between our souls- which only explains more strongly that we do need to play and share music more than ever before. So, keep playing and keep believing in music.

...Korean flutist Jasmine Choi began her training at the Curtis Institute at age 16 and completed a master's degree at the Juilliard School; The Telemann Files is her first Baroque album and her filth solo CD. Choi draws out the contrapuntal textures of the fantasias with a robust lower register. She has a broad color palette, which lends well to the development of individual characters. Her approach to the A-Major is spirited yet innocent. ... Choi's articulation is crisp and clean throughout, and her intonation is spotless. ... The best track on Choi's album is the Fantasia in D Major, ‘Alla francese," which she plays with welcome abandon. Choi is more generous with her vibrato in the upper register, and her tone in the lower register pedal points is explosive. The ornamental scales are played deliberately, with equal attention devoted to each note. The trills, likewise, are even, with the upper and lower note receiving the same duration and volume. Choi's performance of the largo preceding the final presto is exceptional. Overall, this is a CD that I highly recommend. ... This CD won't be collecting dust on my shelf any time soon.

February 2, 2014Concert Review: "Goddess plays the flute" by Augsburger Allgemeine, GermanyA fantastic review from Jasmine's Ibert Concerto concert:
"Erstmals in Ingolstadt war die von der Zeitung Korea Times als „Göttin der Flöte“ hochgelobte Jasmine Choi an der Donau zu erleben. Sie ist eine der meist gefeierten Flötistinnen unserer Zeit. Die Solistin der Wiener Symphoniker, mittlerweile mit weltweit bedeutenden Auszeichnungen bedacht, intonierte an diesem Abend mit dem von Jacques Ibert verfassten Konzert für Flöte und Orchester wohl eines der anspruchsvollsten Solowerke überhaupt.
Technisch höchst anspruchsvoll
Dabei zeigte die junge talentierte Musikerin ihre musikalische Prägnanz, imponierte durch glänzende Intonation und Artikulation und gab sich in den technisch höchst anspruchsvollen Phrasen meisterhaft. Auch wenn sich das Publikum sicherlich ein weniger sperrig klingendes Werk gewünscht hätte, so war die melodische Linienführung der 14 K-Gold-Flöte dieser Ausnahmemusikerin im besten Sinne kompatibel mit den nicht weniger idiomatischen Streicherstimmen und der ebenso anspruchsvollen Harmoniebegleitung.

December 23, 2013A Little Christmas Gift from JasmineHere is a little gift for your warm & cozy Christmas- click "Read more" button below to open your present:) December 14, 2013Mozart CD Review by The Falter, Austria"Die Wiener Symphoniker ließen die Flötistin Jasmine Choi im Sommer ziehen und verlängerten ihren Vertrag nach dem obligaten Probejahr nicht. Die makellos klingende Antwort: Gemeinsam mit den Stimmführern des Orchesters nahm die Koreanerin nun die vier Flötenquartette von Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart auf. Feine, höchst unterhaltsame Musik träumerisch, keck, reizvoll verspielt , in der Mozart die Flöte ins schönste kammermusikalische Rampenlicht rückt."

March 29, 2013A Rave Review of Brahms' 4th Symphony"Orchestral soloists were excellent – including the new principal flutist. Luisi’s phrasing was intimate and deeply personal in the slow movement, and the audience barely moved. The Scherzo, in contrast, was brilliant and red-blooded. In the finale, Choi phrased the famous flute solo with exquisite beauty, projecting a tone of almost vocal color on her golden flute." from Cincinnati Enquirer March 23, 2013Two Concertos in One Night!On April 8, Jasmine will be performing the Solbong Kim's Sacred Meadow and the Saint-Saens Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso with the Gangnam Symphony at Seoul Arts Center.
