His music has been described as "powerful and inspiring..." by the Voice of America and  "... romantic music in the great Russian tradition. It is simply music of the heart." by the WQXR.

The symphonic tragedy "Romeo and Juliet" was conceived many years ago at the age of 16 in Moscow while studying piano at the famed Gnessin School of Music. Some of that early material found its way to the current work, which was composed between 1991 and 1993. It is remarkable that Romeo and Juliet was painstakingly recorded using only sampled orchestral sounds and represents the first time a symphonic work of such magnitude was created without any acoustic orchestral recording. The piece represents a synthesis of many styles - romantic symphonies, progressive rock rhythms and harmonic heritage of Rachmaninoff. Above all, this work will haunt its listeners with the richness of melodic material. The recording also brought together a Russian and American choirs and soloists, recorded in Moscow, Russia and New York City.

Emilian's quest for perfection in instrumental sound forced him to become intimately acquainted with the electronic media. He studied at the School of Media Arts in New York and Audio Institute of America in California. Emilian completed the work in his studio, from the initial computer work, sample editing and recording to the final editing of the master recording. The complexity of the work, combining symphonic score with electronic instruments and live choir and soloists required enormous effort and stretched over six and half years of continues work.

Currently, Emilian is working on a ballet "Demon", based on the poem by the XIX century Russian poet Lermontoff and a symphonic suite "Snow Queen."
