Vassily Sinaisky’s debut with the Cleveland Orchestra was acclaimed by Cleveland’s main newspaper The Plain Dealer. They described his account of Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No.1 “Winter Daydreams” as follows:

“In some hands, the symphony’s slow movement, “Land of Desolation, Land of Mists,” resembles its title all too closely. With Sinaisky, however, the scene was anything but dull or hazy. Rather, it moved along swiftly and compellingly, fueled by a strong current and clear sense of purpose. Likewise, both “Reveries of a Winter Journey” and the Finale evinced the sparkle, drama and propulsive force of a master who’s traversed the territory many times before. Saturday was Sinaisky’s debut in Cleveland, but it was far from his first foray into the realm... the orchestra sounded magnificent.”
