      " ... There is much to enjoy here in Tassev's technical athleticism, expressive exuberance, intricate embellishment and

      elegiac lyricism .

      Tassev possesses sufficient technique and control to show off Tartini's solo sonatas in their myriad colours and humours ..

      Sharply characterised and well paced is his account of the A minor Sonata's Chaconne . "

 ".. And he left behind a few students he regarded as his “heirs,” including Gérard Poulet in France,

 Enrique Espín Yépez in Mexico, and Emile Tassev in Belgium.

If his fingerprints as a teacher are not more visible nowadays, perhaps it is because his teaching, like his playing, was simply great, without being idiosyncratic."
