    artistic leader of the Slovak Chamber Orchestra

"The personality of Ewald Danel brings together the talents for solo, chamber, and orchestra performance with conducting skills. On all positions that he has held, Danel developed his mastering of interpretation and inspired his musical partners. As the leader of the Slovak Chamber Orchestra, he explored the demanding art of solo performing, conducting of an orchestra, creation of conceptions, and becoming a personal and professional partner in the complex organism of an orchestra." (Slovník slovenského koncertného umenia II.)
