The alto is often regarded as a bad violin and the altoviolist as an unsuccessful violist. When listening to Emilian Dascal play, such prejudices are forgotten and only the best alto-qualities are remembered, its softness, its ability to sing, its silent tone that no other instrument can reach.»

Additionally, he was a founding member of the renowned Celibidache String Trio and the European Strings Chamber Orchestra. Alongside his orchestral career, he performed as soloist with renowned international orchestras such as Helsinki Radio Symphony Orchestra, Helsinki National Opera, Belgrade Philharmonic, Bucharest Radio Symphony Orchestra, Chichester Symphony Orchestra - U.
